France readies its first live-action 3D pic

'Behind the Walls' from director duo Sid and Lacombe

Pascal Sid and Julien Lacombe are to direct "Behind the Walls," which they tout as the first Gallic live-action feature shot in 3D.

There are at least three French-majority S3D toons in production or pre-production -- Pascal Herold's "Cinderella," Team To's "Occho Kochoi" and Onyx Films' "Mune" -- plus Wim Wenders' docu "Pina."

"France stands as Europe's digital frontrunner," per 3D pioneer Ben Stassen, director of NWave's "Sammy's Adventures."

France has 959 digital screens, including 710 3D screens, according to Screen Digest.
