Summit Entertainment has announced The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be released in both conventional theaters and in IMAX on June 30, 2010. While the film was shot with regular cameras, IMAX is going to digitally re-master the movie with their proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology so it can be shown in IMAX theaters.
With the huge money The Twilight Saga has been making at theaters, it’s no surprise everyone wants it in IMAX. This way, theater owners can charge more for tickets and everyone involved can make more money. It’s just unfortunate that they didn’t film any of the movie using IMAX cameras. Of course, with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn still to be shot, perhaps the final chapter will be a real IMAX release.

I'd rather have a trailer teaser than this "surprise" from Summit. Gah! Should I be excited? Does this mean bigger view for our most awaited scenes like the "leg hitch", meadow scene, or are they doing this for the fight scenes? David Slade and Summit is scaring the hell out of me *coughs*. Seriously...
