(“You see, it’s like a flashlight… that you can f’ck,” Cameron explained.)

Relativity and Universal bought the distribution rights and are planning a wide theatrical release for Sanctum, an “underwater 3-D drama” produced by James Cameron.  I wonder if this one will have cat people.  REEER!

Relativity was the first bidder after a screening last Thursday (of the new 3-D technology to be used in the pic) at Cameron’s offices in Santa Monica.
The picture, which has a budget of about $30 million, will lense [sic] later this year in Australia and has a late 2010 delivery date.
Pic will be helmed by Alister Grierson (“Kokoda“) from a script by Andrew Wight and John Garvin. Wight is a longtime associate of Cameron’s who helped develop the [Cameron/Pace Fusion Camera system for 3-D technology] seen in documentaries like “Aliens of the Deep” and “Ghosts of the Abyss.”
“Sanctum” was inspired by Wight’s near-death experience of leading a diving expedition miles into a system of underwater caves, then having to find a way out after a freak storm collapsed the entrance. [Variety]

So basically, it’s The Descent, but watery and with less sluts.  And don’t give me this “near-death” experience crap, they got lost, then found their way out.  That’s not a near-death experience, that’s a dude-that-was-scary experience. I have those every time I get high.
