"George Lucas, the director of the first Star Wars film to be made in 1977, is reported to be spending $10m (£6.24m) to turn it into a 3D experience. Bobby Jaffe, the chairman of Legend Films in San Diego, a company which converts films from 2D to 3D, said several Hollywood studios had been in contact to revive popular films into the format. "We can turn an older film into 3-D in around 16 weeks," he told The Sunday Times. "It mostly suits action films, such as Top Gun or The Matrix, but Avatar proved it's best to use the technology to immerse the audience in the story rather than throw things at them. This is the new, more sophisticated era of 3-D." "

"Los Angeles, 9 abr (EFE).- Depois do lançamento de filmes com temas de histórias em quadrinhos e remakes de produções dos anos 80, Hollywood evocou agora os deuses gregos do Olimpo para seduzir audiências com uma mitologia que, além de épica, demonstrou ser muito rentável."

Our world is more interconnected than ever. We call it globalization, but without good histories to explain how we got here, we cannot begin to know where we are heading. The new master's program at Columbia and the LSE will ask students to explore our world by studying the forces that have been remaking it: migration, trade, technological revolutions, epidemic disease, environmental change, wars and diplomacy. Working with preeminent historians in the field, students will analyze large-scale historical processes, pursue empirical research, and produce their own comparative and cross-cultural histories. This two-year program connects vibrant intellectual communities in two global cities. It culminates in a master's degrees in international and world history from both institutions.
