D-Box Technologies Inc., a Montreal-based maker of custom-designed seats, is introducing physical motion to the movie-viewing experience. Motions range from being pitched forward, backward and side to side, to experiencing a momentary freefall when a character, say, leaps off a cliff. Seat-side controls let squeamish viewers dial down the intensity level of the experience—which on the highest setting can reach up to two times the acceleration caused by gravity.
“It’s a periphery business for the moment, but as they grow their network, we’re interested in pairing with them for additional titles,” said Jeff Goldstein, the executive vice president for domestic distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures. To date, Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. has worked with D-Box on 11 films, including this July’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows—Part 2,” which will play at 68 to 70 D-Box locations domestically.

In a new interview with Digital Spy, Emma Watson discussed filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II.
“There were days when I was in tears,” she confessed. “I was begging David [Yates, director] but he just said, ‘It looks so much better that you guys seem more vulnerable’. And he’s right, it does look great on screen. We’re kind of like bedraggled, unlikely heroes. It works, but there were times when I just wanted to kill him! People who are close to me know, they so know, that there were days when it was decidedly unglamorous. And I was so tired, I would fall asleep anywhere. They’ll never be released, but the on-set photographer has pictures of me falling asleep everywhere – on chairs, on the floor, in the middle of the set, all curled up.”
However, Watson went on to add that Hermione is now closer to her “own personality” after playing her for over a decade. “David wanted a really honest performance, she said. “It was lovely to play – I feel like earlier on I played a parody of myself. She was kind of this big personality and she’s developed into someone much more human.”
Deadline is reporting that CBS has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Daniel Radcliffe’s new film, The Woman in Black, which will be released in the UK on February 10th. There is no word yet on when it will release in the US and whether or not it will be a limited or wide release. I will post more news as it develops.
