U23D Opens March 27 In Buenos Aires

In case you hadn't heard, the Irish rock band U2 's new three dimensional movie opens March 27th at the IMAX theater in Buenos Aires. Most of the scenes in the 84-minute movie, which is the first of its kind to be shot entirely in 3D, were filmed during two concerts here in Buenos Aires.

In an interview with IndieLondon, Bono talked about why U2 decided to shoot the film in South America in general and in Buenos Aires in particular.

“I felt that if we were going to do this right we had to do it in South America, since the band’s presence after an eight-year hiatus from the continent was certain to draw vibrant and enthusiastic crowds.”

He continues:

“Ireland and Argentina have so much in common, not just in terms of personalities but our passion and our shared history,” he explained. “They have had their difficult political past. But our differences based on our past should not prevent us from living a better future. We share much in common. The only difference is they can dance!”

For tickets, call IMAX at 4756-7676. The Imax theater is located in Vicente Lopez, near the Unicenter Shopping Center. Address: Esteban Echeverría 3750.
