Warner Bros. teams with IMAX for Space doc

I remember when NASA shuttle launches (talking 80’s here) were a big deal – teachers would roll in a portal television on wheels to let us view humans going towards orbit. Can’t say we have the same fascination now, network television cut the cord on LIVE coverage since they were getting to be a dime a dozen…..so its interesting to see how space, (not sci-fi stuff) is getting a makeover of sorts.

A couple of years back, Imax's had the Cruise-narrated Space Station 3D in 01’ and that brought in a good chunk of change ($100 million in worldwide box office) and now Warner Bros. will team with NASA on a new project in the 3-D film.

Producers Toni Myers and Graeme Ferguson are prepping a new doc that will look at NASA's Hubble space telescope. The new footage shows how the Hubble captured images in orbit of our junkyard of a planet and its surroundings.

The IMAX film is scheduled for a 2010 release.
