The real question, to me, is how they're gonna handle the imax exhibition of the movie.

Imax is expected to start replacing their 15/70 projectors with the 4k+4k laser projectors they've developed, starting here in DC with the smithsonian's three theaters sometime next year. Right now, the two theaters on the mall in downtown DC are 3D-capable but the one out in Chantilly is 2d-only (the digital conversion will make it 3D-capable as well).

I bring all of this up because episode VII will doubtlessly be converted to 3d.

For Star Trek Into Darkness this wasn't a problem, as Paramount sent a single, 15/70 2D print to Chantilly for opening night and a 3D 15/70 to one of the downtown theaters a couple weeks later. For Star Wars, I wonder if I'll even be able to see it in 4k+4k 2D or if 3d will be my only option as far as imax goes.

Looking at the photo in the tweet makes me want to see what that camera is seeing!
