    Converting 2D to 3D

    After the tremendous success of Avatar screenings in 3D, the action fantasy film, Clash of the Titans also starring Sam Worthington, will be converted to 3D. This follows a trend in Hollywood with studios looking at a process that transforms new 2D movies and even classics into 3D films, as was done for the re-release of the first two Toy Story animated pictures.
    Clash of the Titans, the mythological story, is a remake of the 1981 film with Laurence Olivier in the role of Zeus, played by Liam Neeson in the new version. Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) directs and Ralph Fiennes stars as Hades.
    Originally set to open March 26, the same weekend as How to Train Your Dragon, an animated 3D feature, Clash has been rescheduled for April 2 when it won't need to scramble for the limited number of 3D-equipped theaters.
    It was announced that the next two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films will be released in 3D. Part I is set for November 19, and Part II will be released in July 2011.
    The cost to convert films not originally shot in 3D runs about $5 million plus the price of 3D glasses for theaters.
    Worthington stars next in Last Night with Keira Knightly to be released in March, an upcoming thriller The Debt, with Helen Mirren - neither have plans for 3D versions. He is also considering a role in Dracula Year Zero, a period vampire epic.

    It is really great to see that the film industry is going to capatilize on the new 3D technique because there is nothing that I love more then a 3D movie

    Just a doubt: The 3D glasses are supplied by the film makers or rented to the theater by a 3rd party vendors ?

    I think the 3d glasses are provided by the 3rd party. You need to arrange those glasses by yourself.

    I agree with the fact but some movies worth while watching in real or in 2D, I completely agree that Avatar was a great hit but not everything is same format.

    Completely right, I don't want all of my films in 3D, there is still a lot of entertainment in 2D films

    You won't have a choice eventually. All films will be one form or the other and you'll just have to accept it

    I should hope not. We still need some 2D movies because not all movies will look good with everything coming out the screen. Like romance movies for example.

    In my opnion yes it is for the future. We can convert 2d to 3d by using some specific technology. I am also waiting for the same.
