Disney synergy comes to 3D as ESPN 3D hosts the 3DTV world premiere of the 3D trailer for Walt Disney Pictures’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (play it below in 2D) during the network’s first live NBA telecast at 7 p.m. (ET) this Friday, Dec. 17.
The game features the celebrated Miami Heat trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh taking on the New York Knicks and Amare Stoudemire at Madison Square Garden.
Interestingly, all this attention for the studio’s summer 2011 tentpole movie comes on the same day as Disney debuts its potentially biggest movie of the holidays, “Tron: Legacy” in 3D in theaters.
You may also see video of the crowd-pleasing first introduction of the movie in September 2009 with Johnny Depp at Disney’s D23 Expo.
