Like I said, it’s Civil War fever folks… in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the start of the war.
Sony, Discovery and Imax are teaming to produce what they’re calling an ambitious 4-part 3D production about the Civil War, slated for a fall 2011 debut on the 3net Network, a 3D network created in a collaboration between the 3 companies.
This will be photographed in 3D by the way… so, none of that converting in post-production stuff.
Principal photography is said to already have begun on the series, which is currently titled, simply, The Civil War 3D.

David W. Padrusch (who has a background mostly in documentary filmmaking) will co-write and direct the series, which will include...
