The film is a piecing-together of several concerts from this year's Austin City Limits festival.

While concert footage in theaters is nothing new, this film comes on the heels of the enormous success of Michael Jackson's This Is It, which brought in has grossed an unprecedented $175 million worldwide, according . If Larger Than Life does well, expect a whole slew of HD 3D concert footage in theaters over the next few years, as AEG Live and Action 3D claims to already have full footage of 56 different bands already from festivals like Lollapalooza and All Points West, with plans to have 150 by 2010.

Sony will be getting into the 3D concert game in April with Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D, while AEG Live and Action 3D plans to release a follow-up to Larger Than Life in 2010, featuring a compilation of acts from Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. Larger Than Life joins the ranks of other December 3D tentpole films, like James Cameron's Avatar, to be released December 18.
