Original post:
Anyone else looking forward to this movie? I am! I really hope it gets an US release date soon !

Synopsis: T.S. Spivet lives on a ranch in Montana with his mother, who is obsessed with beetle morphology, his cowboy father, who was born 100 years too late, and his 14 year old sister, who dreams of being Miss America. T.S. is a 12 year-old child prodigy with a passion for cartography and scientific inventions. One day he receives an unexpected call from the Smithsonian announcing he has won the Baird award for the discovery of the perpetual motion machine and is invited to make a speech. Unbeknownst to all, he decides to head for Washington D.C. crossing the United States on a freight train. But no one at the Smithsonian has any idea that he is only a child.

(The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet: An IMAX 3D Experience will be released to select IMAX theatres in France only.)

The 3D looks great! The same stereographer (Demetri Portelli) who worked on Hugo, worked on this film. (no wonder it looks good! )

I definitely want to see this film. Jeunet is a brilliant director and it's great to see he has also jumped into 3D filmmaking.

[Zivouhr]

Better 3D than Hugo, sounds good. I think because Hugo came out during a time when few movies were filmed in 3D, and because the movie has some very strong layering most of the way, I rank it as one of the best 3D examples around.

I bet if this does well in France, it'll reach other countries also.

I read this was getting a limited US release in December, haven't really heard anything since-

i might be getting the blu-ray from another region before it hits theatrically in the states-

same thing happened with Micmacs though

i just read on JPJ's official blog site that the Weinstein's are interfering with the US release and because of that the international blu-ray release has been delayed from January till June-

WHY WEINSTEIN'S WHY!!!!???? They have to ruin everything for U.S. audiences :/

[levcore]

It's true that The Weinstein's are always meddling, very frustrating. This movie looks fantastic though and i'm anxious to see what the 3D presentation is like.

JPJ is saying that the Weinstein's want to "americanize" it - JPJ says that is basically impossible due to it being created with a French/ Canadian influence and idea set.

In June the first presentation rights lapse and JPJ and the producers have the right to release it on blu-ray and theatrically internationally.

The Weinstein's are only delaying the movie's release internationally.
I really don't see the reason for said "americanization"
I bet they are only after the money that this movie will make.

Yes, it's an English language film. The Blu-ray 3D is French and possibly Region B-locked. No North American release announced yet.

I read the book and I'm a huge Jean Pierre jeunet fan but I didn't really like this movie- It wasn't bad, it just felt like it was missing something- It really was filmed for the 3d medium though, perfectly framed shots that actually allowed the viewer to appreciate the 3d in each frame. Where Hugo started out with that ridiculous tracking shot that didn't allow your eyes to orient to the 3D, this film doesn't do that and allows the viewer the proper time to acclimate to 3D, very wise choice by Jeunet.

Is it safe to assume that the French release will definitely NOT have any forced subtitles?

So only the 2D disc is in English and are they English subtitles on the 3D Blu ?

I wouldn't know for sure. Maybe someone who buys the French release can help you out in the future. Here's what the Amazon page lists:

Audio : Français, Anglais
Audio description : Français
Sous-titres : Français
Sous-titres pour sourds et malentendants : Français

Would you mind letting us know if you could whether this is 100% English friendly release? I'm just a bit concerned about the possibility of French subs being hardcoded onto either the 2D or 3D movie. Many thanks mate.

Will probably order this with the Hoise of Magic http://www.amazon.fr/Manoir-magique-...se+of+magic+3d
