See i recall reading that it had been converted into 3D. I swear i saw 3D at the end of some of the trailers. I acknowledge that this 3D version appears to have never materialised though.

I remember seeing a trailer in 3D for this film. Some scenes look like they were done purely for a cool 3D effect. Like the boy throwing the silver bullet and when the train breaks up when Tonto and John are in chains and a part flies towards them and lands between them.

I think this was meant to be a 3D conversion but Disney cancelled it. They might have only converted the scenes that were used in the trailer.

Maybe it will be like Harry Potter 7a where the 3D version skips cinemas but ends up on blu ray. Maybe Disney are waiting to see how LR does on blu ray before finishing the 3D conversion at a later date.

If they want to guarantee it will sell, then they should release it as a steelbook
