The Hobbit - prequel to blockbuster hit Lord of the Rings based on the book by by JRR Tolkien - will be screened in 9D, it has been claimed.
There has been a recent upsurge in films being screened in 3D as more technology becomes available. Some enterprising screenings - such as Spy Kids 4 - have been described as 4D, providing the audience with scratch and sniff cards to enable the viewer extra immersion in the film. The Hobbit aims to go further, as director Peter Jackson explains.
"Using experimental military technology, we have enabled discerning cinema-goers who desire a more realistic experience to view the film in 9 dimensions," said Mr. Jackson. "We're not at liberty to discuss exactly how this will happen, but it won't involve those inconvenient glasses that have to be worn for the 3D experience we are all familiar with."
Scientists have voiced concerns that the human mind is too fragile to endure perception in 9 dimensions.

Jackson played down reports that in laboratory tests, mice subjected to a 9D trailer for The Hobbit had ran in circles for a short period of time before appearing to 'psychologically leave the mortal plane and transcend time and space' before 'melting down into a marmalade-like substance and forming a single unitary consciousness'.
"Mice are mice," said the director. "Who knows why they do stuff."
"We tested it on this guy called Rudy Eugene in Florida and he was fine. Said he enjoyed it."
