Rear Window (1954) Never in 3D

[BleedOrange11]

Yeah, these guys seem to be justifying their conversion with the news of Hitchcock's original plans to shoot in 3D. I'm 100% certain that their 2D-3D conversion is not the way he intended the film to be viewed. They are just kidding themselves if they think they are doing some noble gesture and finally "realizing his vision."

I'm kind of interested in seeing what the conversion will look like, but ultimately, this movie probably should have just been remastered and left alone since they can't actually get Hitchcock's blessing or input.

(Not the least of which reasons being, it'd be a Universal movie if it was.)

One sharp eye on the HTF pointed out that the picture on the website seemed to be taken from a 16mm print....Hmmm.
