Barco, a global leader
in digital cinema is proud to announce that its new DP-3000
digital cinema projector was selected for a North American
screening of Paramount’s new 3D feature, “Beowulf.”
The screening was held on the Paramount studio lot exclusively
for the director, cast and crew and studio VIP’s.
“Beowulf” was developed from a
script written by duo Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, and is
Zemeckis' second effort that uses a photo-realistic version
of the "performance capture" technique after 2004's
"The Polar Express." “Beowulf” opened
simultaneously in conventional theaters and 3D on 16 November
2007.
Mark Christiansen, EVP, Operations, Paramount
Pictures stated, “The Barco projectors delivered far
beyond my expectations. The picture-quality was brilliant.”
Joe Demeo, Director of Sales for Digital
Cinema, North America commented on the importance of the event.
“This was a great opportunity to demonstrate the power
of the DP-3000’s especially the simultaneous use of two
projectors to show the movie in 3D for this large screen.
The percentage of screenings increase every year, and Barco
is proud to enable film makers to show their work without
the slightest compromise on quality.”
The DP-3000 is Barco’s new flagship
digital cinema projector, and the brightest digital cinema
projector in the industry. At over 30,000 lumens and using
