Avatar spurs Hollywood 3D re-launch of films
Hollywood is looking to capitalize on Avatar's success by processing older films for re-release in 3D.
Details here: Avatar sparks 3-D makeover for action classics - Times Online I do have to wonder how well the technology mentioned works to generate 3D images from 2D originals. It can't be as realistic as a film originally shot and rendered in 3D. |
...just another idea to extract money from unwise punters. What next, old B&W spaghetti westerns in "full HD, full colour with surround sound" on Blue Ray! No thanks.

And what about the films produced before CGI was used much (or even available), such as the original Star Wars trilogy? |
I saw NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in it's 3D version at a theatre last year and was not impressed. I mean it looked kinda 3D-ish, but no where near as movies actually shot in 3-D, including JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.
Honestly, not even as good as CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (which was a true 3D flick when first released). And NIGHTMARE was a big budget film that yo'd think would be as easy to 3D-afy as any. So bottom line, unless there's a new process invented, I don't have much hope for it. jdv |
