The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is less than a week away from opening stateside, and we've heard nary a peep on the adventure sequel's high frame rate counterpart.
Director Peter Jackson shot his Hobbit movies at 48 frames per second, double the traditional frame rate, in an attempt to make the 3D feel more fluid and immersive. This HFR presentation was met with mixed reception during the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but Jackson maintains that HFR is the future of film.
With that, Warner Bros. is expanding the number of HFR theaters for The Desolation of Smaug. The Wrap reports that as many as 750 theaters will feature the enhanced projection -- up from 450 theaters the first time around. Still, even with the bump, there's been hardly any talk about HFR this time. That's because the studio is trying to keep it quiet.
