Skeptical to this, but hopefully they've used the time and money... like Top Gun, Titanic, 2012?
New record in old movie being converted to 3D ?

Taygan315 · 02-17-2013, 04:04 PM

Wow!! Thanks for posting this OP. Didn't hear or see this coming. I am so in on this one....as long as the 3D is done right.

eriaur · 02-17-2013, 04:13 PM

Hope it's done right, would like to see newer Bond movies in the best possible converted to 3D quality.

Film in the history of the first 3D conversion?

I see Asian kanji on the side spine, approach with caution.

Is it wrong I ordered one of the 3D iphone viewers on that page LOL

No that's Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).

Creature was native, not converted.

That said, Phantom of the Opera (the version from 1925) got a (really terrible) 3D conversion a while back, so Dr. No doesn't have the record anyway.

WOW I didn't expect this at all! I'm excited

SixSpeedSamurai · 02-17-2013, 10:12 PM

Just not a supporter of converting movies that were not 3D to begin with.

GreenGaijin · 02-17-2013, 10:41 PM

They better have worked to the limit on that Honey Ryder scene

Richard--W · 11-20-2014, 10:44 PM

Anyone seen this Asian conversion? I assume it's a bootleg, although I have no information on it.

OrlandoEastwood · 11-20-2014, 10:58 PM

It's from BitWel, which is a legit company ... or so it seems. They usually do crappy upscale releases.

Richard--W · 11-20-2014, 11:51 PM

You think it might be an authorized conversion, then?

Authorized even though it's likely crappy-looking?

Any idea where to order from BitWel?

OrlandoEastwood · 11-21-2014, 12:24 AM

There was a Taiwanese webstore, I forget the name. Regarding if it's a legit conversion, I think as long as they have proper rights in that region of the world, sure.

Zivouhr · 11-21-2014, 12:49 AM

Thanks for the info on Dr. No.

Though Dr. No is possibly one of the least exciting James Bond movies, it's nice to see the 007 series being considered for stereo 3D.

It is a stinker.

I just came across this on ebay. I had not known about it (or this thread) before. I was afraid this would have a mediocre conversion ,as this thread pretty much verifies.

Being a James Bond fan I wanted to get it, but having a crappy conversion tells me to leave it alone.
