It looks like when “Superman Returns” to the big screen, it will be the BIG SCREEN and part of it will be 3D.

Warner Bros. announced this week that this summer the Man of Steel will be shown on IMAX as well as conventional theater screens and 20 minutes of the film’s action will be viewed in 3D.

IMAX 3D has never been used in a live-action big budget Hollywood film before, so Superman will be returning in a major way. Bryan Singer, director of the much anticipated pic is thrilled with the results. “The magic of IMAX 3D will envelop audiences in a completely new and unique way,” Singer said. “The test scenes that have been converted into IMAX 3D look, sound and feel absolutely amazing.”
