Meta And Lionsgate Partner To Turn The New Hunger Games Movie 3D

Lionsgate is partnering with Meta to bring 3D capabilities to its latest Hunger Games movie.
The Big Picture: Hollywood studios have increasingly signed deals with cutting-edge tech firms over the past year to supercharge the tools they offer filmmakers and give audiences new ways to experience their movies and shows. By joining forces with Meta, Lionsgate hopes to better compete with new distribution offerings from Apple and Disney.
Behind The Lenses: The lines between Hollywood and Silicon Valley continue to blur.
When Sunrise on the Reaping comes out this Thanksgiving, its 3D screenings will be courtesy of Meta — the first time the company has been hired to oversee a 3D conversion.
After the movie’s theatrical run, it will also be available to stream in 3D on the Meta VR Glasses.
Lionsgate plans to make more movies available on the Meta VR Glasses, with chosen titles to be announced soon.
Final Conversion: While a film-focused partnership with Meta may feel a bit random, there’s actually a key director at the center of the Venn diagram — James Cameron. The legendary filmmaker’s Lightstorm Media partnered with Meta two years ago to consult on its immersive ambitions. Cameron himself has been working with Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on 3D features.
Considering Cameron is pretty much the pioneer of modern 3D filmmaking, seeing the new Hunger Games on Meta VR Glasses may be a mind-blowing at-home experience.
Coming Soon: If Meta’s Lionsgate partnership is a success, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company get back into producing original content.
