It's time to mark your calendar Star Wars fans, whether you plan to be first in line to check out the new 3D-converted editions of each movie, protest their rerelease in a new format or just avoid the theater altogether now that The Phantom Menace has officially been slated to return next year on February 12th. The effects guys at Fox, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic reckon the immersive visuals of each flick lend themselves to being viewed in 3D and the yearly releases of the movies should be good test of both whether a 3D conversion really is worthwhile and if audiences are interested in paying to watch it. Of course, there's also the alternative of just grabbing the Blu-ray discs (original trilogy only, if you so desire) skimming the Red Letter Media review and calling it a day, but we won't get pushy.
Here's me, in real 3D, deciding that I will most definitely NOT be going to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many movies its going to take before these guys realize that most consumers simply aren't interested in this 3D crap that they're trying to sell us! And as if that in itself wasnt enough, we get re-hashed Star Wars movies in 3D... sheesh. Lucas, you've got more money than you know what do with. Donate to a charity or something.
