I've been hearing and seeing a lot of news about Titanic 3D, so heres an article about it. [quote]James Cameron�s multi Oscar-winning film Titanic will be coming at us in 3D when it gets re-released in the Spring of 2012. But is it necessary? [img]http://i29.tinypic.com/2n6hnax.jpg[/img] If you didn�t think Roland Emmerich�s disaster spectacle 2012 had enough destruction in it � and lacked a pivotal third dimension � then here�s some news you�ll be interested in. James Cameron�s Oscar-winning and box office behemoth, Titanic, will be getting a 3D re-release in the Spring of 2012. We�ve heard rumblings for a long time that Titanic would eventually get a 3D release and more recently Cameron said the aim was to release it in spring of 2012 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the titular ship�s sinking. Now Los Angeles Times � in a piece celebrating Titanic actress Gloria Stuart�s 100th birthday � has confirmed the aim by saying that Cameron is, �converting the blockbuster into 3-D for re-release in April 2012, the 100th anniversary of the ship�s sinking.� Now that we know that Titanic will be coming at us in more than two dimensions, it begs the question does it really need to be converted? Aren�t we overrun already with new 3D movies without delving more than a decade into the past and converting a film for re-release? That�s the way I look at it. However, with Titanic being the second highest-grossing movie of all time (behind Cameron�s own Avatar � he really IS the king of the world! ), I�m sure Cameron is confident it can add a lot more to its $1.8 billion gross, especially with the extra cost of 3D ticket prices. [img]http://i27.tinypic.com/i370gm.jpg[/img] The thing that bothers me most is not the fact that Titanic is getting a 3D re-release but that it�s being converted into 3D. Now I know that�s an inevitability � unless Cameron can utilize some of the Terminator time travel technology � but this will likely mean the crappy kind of 3D that comes from adding the extra dimension after-the-fact. Those of you unlucky enough to catch Clash of the Titans, for example, will know just how bad post-production 3D conversion can be. Yes it�s Cameron, the Avatar pioneer himself doing the converting, but still� We�ve now gotten to the point where it�s not just new movies that are in danger thanks to the 3D craze � old movies can�t even hide under the cover of the past. Watch out Wizard of Oz� What are your thoughts on Titanic getting a 3D re-release? Source: http://screenrant.com/titanic-3d-2012-release-ross-67246/[/quote]
