Thierry Wase-Bailey, Managing Director of Celsius confirms: "3D is all the rage right now and we expect to close many more deals in Berlin where we will be screening a new 3D promo of the film in Real D quality on our stand.
In particular we expect to attract Chinese buyers in view of AVATAR's stunning success in China in 3D, and the rise of China as the second biggest theatrical market after the US, and because our film benefits from being a Dutch, Belgian and Indonesian co-production, allowing entry through any of the quotas for those individual countries.'

San Fu Maltha, Producer, adds: "It was an enormous opportunity and adventure to make this movie. Its was the first time that we've combined Dutch and Indonesian crew with  an American director and also for the first time in 3D and it worked all well. I believe we will deliver what people expect from 3D."
