Well yeah, I guess with the soon-to-be glut of 3D movies that are scheduled over the next year or so, you’d figure that the last two Harry Potter films would be getting some of that action. And that’s exactly what The Hollywood Reporter is saying. Apparently, 3D-ification tests on Clash of the Titans that were done by an outside vendor are looking so spiffy that Warner Bros. is going to slap the extra dimension on its tentpole films to round out that mega franchise. Total cost will be roughly $20 million, $5 mil a piece for the two films and an extra $10 million for the glasses. This hasn’t been confirmed yet by the Warners, but an announcement is anticipated. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince got the 3D treatment in limited release last year.
How ironic that in this brand new decade the newest fad in movies is something that was hot six decades ago? Personally, I thought Avatar looked amazing, but those glasses got mighty heavy after 2.5 hours+. Still, if the trend holds, I’d imagine we could be seeing a great many films, including probably every major animated movie getting the process to varying degrees of release in this post-Avatar world. The article also posited that studios could like how 3D films play overseas so much that even films like James Bond might be considered. They just better make sure they get a close up on Judi Dench in something skimpy.

Not everything needs to be in 3D.
Only a matter of time before we start seeing porn in 3D… finally, we will all know what it's like to be in the middle of a hot and heavy bukkae shower as fists pump furiously on long stiff cocks right in our bespectacled faces… mmmmm salty!!
I already know what it's like to be in a hot bukakke 8 way.
Okay, I understand the simple argument that "not everything needs to be in 3d," but I don't think "the glasses make my nose tired," is a reasonable excuse.
My big qualm with 3d is the cost of admission. I don't want every damn movie to be in 3d because I'm gonna go broke going to the movies.
To those saying it's a matter of time before we seen porn in 3-D, may I direct your attention to 'Disco Dolls in Hot Skin?' Better believe I saw that on the big screen. . .
I saw a 70's John Holmes porn in 3D: "Disco Dolls in Hot Skin." Oddly enough, they didn't use the 3D the way you'd expect them to. The sex scenes would be shot like normal porn, but between the sex scenes the actors would hand each other drinks and stuff like that… IN 3D. I thought it was a lost opportunity. Also, I was relieved.
I'm suing Real D, the glasses caused me to go crossed eyed resulting in the death of my stuntman.
3-D Porn is the next natural step. VIVIIIIIID!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
After all, James Cameron said he wanted us to want to fuck Neytiri.
The 3D in Avatar seemed unimpressive to me and gave me a headache while the 3D in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was great and really complimented the action. But that may have had something to do with the shitty seat I got during Avatar. Stupid to think I may have liked that film a lot more if I had just gotten to the theater earlier. That is one of my problems with 3D, the other is cost. I've never had a problem wearing the glasses, though. They don't feel cumbersome to me at all. I doubt I will see something like Deathly Hallows in 3D. I'm not sure why, but it just seems like it would be pointless, perhaps even distance me from the film. I guess I have weird criteria for what makes a good 3D candidate. Anyway, I don't care if every goddamn movie has a 3D release as long as I still have the 2D option.
I hope they apply this process to The Killer Inside Me.
I hardly go to movies anymore because the cost of going to see a movie in the theater is about twice as much as waiting 5 months and seeing it on netflix or buying the blu ray. I can't say that I'm thrilled about the prospect of everything being in 3D. Personally, I think it's much ado about nothing.
"I'd imagine we could be seeing a great many films, including probably every major animated movie getting the process to varying degrees of release in this post-Avatar world."
Yup. So, Devin's assertion that Avatar would NOT be a game changer is dead wrong. Maybe that's why he finally shut up about it?
Personally, I can't stand the 3D glasses. Maybe it's because I wear regular glasses as well, but the 3D made my eyes water almost constantly during Avatar.
Damn, the last harry potter. I'm sad to see it end. Having seen most of them in theaters except for the terrible half blood prince I actually don't want them to add a bunch of 3d moments for old times sake. It began as old school style blockbusters and it should end that way. This could be star wars all over again, with lucas putting fx over story. Really go back and watch the first movie, amazing isn't it. It not only captures the actors in their tender years but feels like a product of its time, back when not every movie was pure spectacle. The best being prizoner, fuck the rest. It's the only harry potter movie that understands what its doing, what kind of world it's in, and how to best exploit it. I felt betrayed watching Half blood since the harry in that film is interchangable with the harry in chamber of secrets or goblet, same shit different year. What happened to the remarkably subtle and dare I say mature performance from radcliffe in ootp, damn the film's problems, the boy grew as an actor, then for whatever reason went back to acting like he just learned how to fly a broom.
Liquid, you are completely and utterly incorrect.
3D sucks. But I'm just jealous because my eyes are broken.
£10mill for glasses? So how is that then when the price is added onto the ticket? In the UK the glasses are an added charge added onto the already increased ticket price for 3D movies. Surprised they don't shout "take it bitch" as they empty my bank account. Double counting me thinks
the director is going to totally ruin the movie. its never as good as the book. i have no doubt that i will be dissappointe. though the ginny and harry scenes i have no doubt will be "SAUCY!"
"Hey Jim Cameron, this is Daniel Ratcliffe."
"Hi Daniel, what can I… "
"Shut the fuck up old man. I just want to let you know that myself and the Warner Brothers are coming for your fucking RECORDS! ONE AND TWO ALL TIME WILL BE OURS! IT WILL BE OURS! SUCK IT JIM!"
There are a whole bunch of 3D porn films out there; they're pretty neat I guess. I'm currently working on a 3D version of my movie Simple Men so we can see Elina Lowensohn's cavernous cleavage in 3D. Shit's practically 3D anyway, they is so big ass big, they are. Mmmmmm.
Liquid's got a point. Number 3 was also my favorite of the films thus far as was its literary predecessor. However, I'm not sure the admittedly inconsistent acting was entirely on the heads of the actors themselves. As often as that series has switched directors and styles I'm personally kinda impressed that the younger cast members managed to do as well as they did. Last thing: while I agree that not everything justifies adding a third dimension I also believe that it could work in favor for Harry Potter. Who knows, perhaps the 3D treatment could re-ignite some of that wonder and awe from the earlier films.
