Its such is the attraction of the Indian markets to the Hollywood
bosses that Sony Pictures has decided to advance the release of
much-awaited blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man four days ahead of the
US release.
The studio announced that the
India release of the The Amazing Spider-Man is being advanced to June 29
so that Indian fans can watch the film before it releases in the US on
July 3.
Sony Pictures summer line-up starts
with Men in Black 3 (3D, worldwide May 25) going back in time with the
original pairing of Will Smith-Tommy Lee Jones and addition of Josh
Brolin, followed by a fresh reboot of the Spider-Man franchise The
Amazing Spider-Man (3D, June 29) starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone,
Rhys Ifans and Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan.
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
