TG Daily - NASA and IMAX team up for 3-D Hubble spacewalkNASA and IMAX have confirmed plans to document historic repairs of the Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting footage will be combined with detailed images of distant galaxies in "Hubble 3D" - a joint IMAX and Warner Bros production slated for release in spring 2010.
The shuttle commander and pilot are expected to double as filmmakers, while two teams of astronauts replace a number of precision instruments during five spacewalking missions.
"It's been said that the IMAX experience is the next best thing to being in space, and with IMAX 3-D, the audience really is there," said producer and director Toni Myers. "Fifteen years ago, we made a film about space exploration that included Hubble, when it started sending back the first images. Today, we have Hubble's entire phenomenal legacy of data to explore. With IMAX 3-D, we can transport people to galaxies that are 13 billion light years away - back to the edge of time. Real star travel is here at last."
