Meta partners with Lionsgate to convert Hunger Games prequel to 3D
Meta and Lionsgate have announced a partnership to convert The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping to 3D for its November 20 release.
Studio collaboration details
The studio and technology company are working together to prepare the film for 3D screens. This project marks the first instance where Meta assists a studio with such a conversion process. DNEG handled the technical work alongside these partners to manage the transition from standard 2D formats.
New hardware availability
The converted version will appear on Meta's upcoming VR glasses when they launch in the spring. Those devices carry a price tag of $1,299 for consumers interested in viewing the content. Lionsgate officials described this effort as a compelling example of how technology transforms existing formats.
Director and character focus
Francis Lawrence stated that the adaptation offers audiences another way to experience Haymitch Abernathy's journey. The story follows a younger version of the character originally played by Woody Harrelson in the main series. Directors wanted the final product to feel visceral for viewers watching in theaters or on headsets.
