    BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- The 3D version of "Episode 1: The Phantom¹ Menace" will be released on Feb. 10,  2012, according to Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox.
    This film is the first 3D version in "Star Wars" saga², since Lucasfilm and Fox claimed to convert the entire series into 3D in September 2010, the two U.S. film makers³ said Thursday.
    "Industrial Light & Magic", which worked on the effects for Avatar, will process the film, according to StarWars.com, the official website of Star Wars saga.
    The visual effects supervisors(监察人) said the film is "perfectly⁵ suited to the 3D theatrical⁶ experience" and they are confident to satisfy the star wars' fans.
    "This 3D conversion⁷ is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological⁸ considerations and artistic⁹ intentions," said John Knoll¹⁰, a visual effects supervisor⁴.
    The film will compete in a box office battle with Nic Cage's 3D work "Ghost Rider: I Need To Make Castle Payments", which will arrive at the theatre two days after the 3D "Star Wars".(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
