Is this the future of 3D? at DVinfo.net

I am a big fan of 3D. I designed the Genus Hurricane 3D rig, so I must be an enthusiast! However even I don't believe that 3D is the future for all video production, but I do believe it is here to stay. I think it is for special event television, special features, movies and specialist presentations. I have long said that many of these non-movie productions will end up in the cinema. This has been born out by the release of a 3D film about the Isle of man TT races. TT3D, Closer to the edge, released just 4 days ago has shot straight into the top 10 of the UK box office charts making it one of the most successful documentary releases in UK cinema history.

Do you know if this will be released outside the UK? When? The trailer looks very exciting. And do you know any details about the 3D gear that was used?
