James Cameron plans Titanic 3-D
At ComicCon this year Avatar director James Cameron talked about his love for 3-D and his plans for the future of possible remakes.
“We’re going to do Titanic in 3-D! We’ve already done a 90 second clip of it and it’s phenomenal and gorgeous, so that’s going to be the project for next year. It’s a conversion of it, not native photography, we can’t go back.”
That sound awsome! eventhough I never saw Titanic in the theaters and cried with the rest of the world, I think it would be amazing to see a film like that in 3-D. Here is what he had to say about possibly remaking his other films in 3-D.
” You know, we’ve thought about Terminator 2, which could be fun because I think that’s a film that stands the test of time for me. I think the Aliens was a really good film in its time , but visually it doesn’t quite hold up. We’ve kind of evolved beyond that now, I mean for me it doesn’t. Terminator 2, I think is the cusp of where it still holds up. True Lies, I don’t think so, it doesn’t feel right to me. Titanic absolutely, slam dunk! I want to see it!”
With the 15th anniversary coming up in 2012 I am predicting a release around that time, or if he is working on Titanic 3-D next year it could be out as early as 2011. What types of movies would you like to see redone in 3-D?

I hope its not too weird to comment on your own post but Im going to do it anyway. I think it would be cool to see an old time movie like Singing in the Rain, or something like Cloverfield would be great. I think the movie needs to have an amazing landscape for it to work.

Well, there has to be some reason for the 3D…either that the film is immersive (which I think a lot of us are hoping with ‘Avatar’) or scary or exciting in some other way that makes sense to have stuff floating out near the audience. Otherwise, you’re just faced with the nuisance of wearing glasses in a dark theater.
