Cirque du Soleil 

to appear on 3D screen

 

The world's celebrated Canadian-based Cirque du Soleil will soon be revived on the 3D screen in a film by Andrew Adamson, the author of first two Shreks and Chronicles of Narni, Hollywood news website Deadline.com said on Wednesday.

The producer of the project is the famous Hollywood director of the blockbusters Avatar and Titanic, James Cameron, who is considered to be the leading expert in 3D technologies in cinema.

The film is believed to be a kind of fairytale mixing the narrative plot with the 3D Cirque tricks capturing different parts of the Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas.

"I've talked with James Cameron, I've seen the technology, the way he has developed it... because Avatar in a movie has a lot of texture of Cirque du Soleil in terms of make-up, costumes, the way the movie is built," Cirque du Soleil's CEO Daniel Lamarre said ahead of the premiere of the Corteo show in Moscow in October.

"In the next few years, there will be a blend between the movie business and the live show business, and I think we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on it," Lamarre said.

Cirque du Soleil is currently on tour in Russia until December 12 with its show Corteo, featuring the sad clown who falls asleep and sees his own funeral in a dream.
