Superman flies
back into movie theaters this summer—and he’s brought
some superstylish eyewear with him. In “Superman
Returns,” actress Kate
Bosworth (right) wears Damone frames by Oliver
Peoples for her role as Lois Lane. From the horn-rimmed
glasses of Clark Kent to the laser and X-ray optics of Superman,
the optical world has always served the Man of Steel well. Superman’s
eye is even strong enough to stop a bullet in the new movie. For
the IMAX release of the film, viewers can gaze at the comic-book
hero’s latest spectacles through some of their own. IMAX
Corporation has used its proprietary technology to convert portions
of “Superman Returns” from 2D to 3D. A visual cue will
indicate when audiences should put on and remove their IMAX 3D
glasses. Moviegoers will feel as if they are moving alongside Superman
as they weave in and out of Metropolis.
