Cameron talks about which of his movies he would like to do in 3D:

Some interesting news has arrived from EmpireOnline who are saying that James Cameron has interest in doing Terminator 2 in 3-D. He told them when asked what other films he would consider doing in 3-D quote;

I am not a big fan of 3-D and really not sure what new elements 3-D would offer to Terminator 2 that would make it worth seeing. Plus as GoldenSimatar another writer on this site has pointed out, if its not shot in 3-D its not going to be real 3-D.

It's been speculated that this wouldn't happen even though Cameron has said in the past that he wanted to. Well now it's official that he is underway. Now let's just hope he goes through with T2 as well (like he's said he intends to).

3D has been the big focus of this year’s San Diego Comic Con, so it’s no surprise that when you get a bunch of movie industry visionaries together, watching movies while wearing funny glasses is a front and center topic. EW attended the Visionaries Panel at Comic Con tonight where Peter Jackson and James Cameron took center stage, and talked 3D.

In particular, Cameron confirmed that a 3D version of Titanic is coming. In fact it’s already underway, though the conversion process will take 18 months. Cameron said, “We've seen a couple of minutes already, and it looks great.”

On the other hand, 3D doesn’t seem to be in the cards for Lord of the Rings. Now that New Line Cinema is all but defunct, Warner Bros. is in charge of the Lord of the Rings universe and Peter Jackson says they aren’t enthusiastic about converting them. What’s the problem? They just don’t think there are enough 3D screens out there to justify the expense. They’re probably right.

Right now pushing 3D is Hollywood’s way of pushing us towards a future where it’s the norm, it’s not really about making big profit from it now. 3D is the long view. Some are buying into it, other like Warner Bros. apparently aren’t. Give the choice though, I think I’d rather watch Frodo leap out of the screen than be forced to watch Leonardo DiCaprio drown into the row in front of me.
