premiere of his latest Hollywood film, “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” in Taipei Wednesday.

The movie uses new technology, including the shooting of images at an ultra-high rate of 120 frames per second in 3D at a 4K HD resolution, an unprecedented feat in movie technique. Various versions will be available for viewing, distributors said.

The story combines a Thanksgiving celebration at an American football game put on for soldiers returning from Iraq with flashbacks revealing what really went on in the war. It is based on a novel written by Ben Fountain.

The movie’s main actor, Joe Alwyn, and Lee’s son Mason Lee, who also stars in the film, were both present at the premiere near Taipei Railway Station.    [FULL  STORY]
