A new partnership between Shaw Communications and Corus Entertainment is sending 3D television into Canadian homes. The cable company and Corus’ Movie Central are preparing to roll out of a range of 3D content including feature films, family programming, sports, concerts and specials.

The schedule is set to launch this summer, and will include films such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Nascar: The IMAX Experience and Warner Bros.’s Deep Sea, an IMAX underwater adventure narrated by Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp.

‘With the recent success of 3D theatrical films at the box office and with an expanding lineup of live action and animated 3D content in the works,’ says Jim Shaw, CEO and vice chair of Shaw Communications, ‘there is clearly a growing excitement and appetite for 3D entertainment and Shaw is at the forefront of this innovation.’
