Cameron settling down? Not at all. He is already preparing for a fresh underwater 3D drama called Sanctum. Not only is it a more intimate and much smaller project than Avatar, but it’s Cameron’s chance to prove that 3-D can be used well in movies that aren’t big blockbusters.

Sanctum is being directed by Australian filmmaker and Tropfest winner Alister Grierson and features an Aussie cast including: Rhys Wakefield (7’s “Home and Away”), Allison Cratchley (7’s “All Saints”), Richard Roxburgh (Van Helsing), Alice Parkinson (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Daniel Wyllie (Animal Kingdom).

Inspired by a real experience that producer Andrew Wight went through, Sanctum will show how he ended up trapped with 14 other people in a cave system for two days. “It’s really a character driven piece and the 3-D should only be part of enhancing the experience,” Cameron says.

Soon, Philips will launch more of its 3D television. And these 3D TV’s will be paired with XpanD’s active shutter glasses.
At the held CES last January 2010 in Las Vegas, XpanD launched its lineup of 3D glasses. The company claims to have hold of 90% of Asian cinemas and more than 50% in Europe and 75% in France specifically.

“In many respects, the cinema market represents an endurance test for the glasses. Our glasses are required to perform beautifully multiple times a day, many days a week, and they must also be comfortable, easily cleaned and robust. Having proven our technology in the cinema sphere, we’re addressing the consumer market by adding extra style to designs, making available new colours, entering OEM partnerships with great companies such as Philips, and also pursuing our own retail strategy to support consumers who need additional glasses,” explained Maria Costeira, CEO of XpanD.
