IFP SPONSORED CHOSIN GETS 3-D TREATMENT
Variety reports that the IFP fiscally-sponsored documentary Chosin will be made into an $80 million 3-D narrative version with Journey to the Center of the Earth‘s director Eric Brevig taking the helm and Chosin director Brian Iglesias coming on as one of the executive producers. The film will be the first war epic made in digital 3-D.
Titled 13 Days of Winter, the film will follow the 1950 Battle of Chosin Reservoir, where United Nation troops, including 12,000 US Marines, fought against the Chinese as well as the North Koreans. Film will be shot in New Zeland and Korea. South Korea — which is preparing for their 60th anniversary of the war — will provide equipment, weapons, locations and military assistance for the film.
The film is slated for a winter 2012 release.
