A New Star Wars Trilogy In 3D? (Rumor)

Isn't the Hobbit Trilogy going to be in 3D? Why exactly are people showing shock/dismay at this when it should be obvious at this point that most blockbusters are going to get the 3D treatment?

It has the distribution rights until 2020 (excluding the ones now announced, of course).

Any new Star Wars films will sell way more copies of the 2D versions. Just like the 2D version of every film ever released in 3D will. Its not even close. As I said, its a micro-niche fad for people who think something flying at the screen is still "way" cool.

3D gives higher BO and adds to the overall success of the movie. And of course there will be more 2D copies sold,but the 3D copies sold again will add to the overall success.
I don't think it's 'way' cool.It's immersive and the future of cinema.All new 4K Tv's will have 3D capability and will push the format even further.

By the way,can you actually afford to go 3D? It seems to be those who aren't exactly astute financially who rant most against 3D.

Either way, cool deal for you.

3D is mainstream. Get used to it. Most Blockbusters are 3D and that won't change. SW 3D will make billions. Good times ahead.

Gave me a good laugh,I must admit.


3D is a success,get over yourself.SW will be 3D... you don't like it? TOUGH!

I don't need to get over anything...
The studious go for the cheap conversions and the quick buck, and the crowd is getting tired of it.

Cheap conversion are a thing of the past now.I mean,you have seen Avengers,Captain America and John Carter,haven't you?

The crowd is getting tired? Proof please.... 3D films are highly profitable and 3D Blu Rays sell good amounts.Almost all major Blockbusters over the next 5 years and beyond are 3D,more being added almost every day.

When I say get over it I mean 3D is the future of cinema. It just is and there is no way back. Accept it. People on Forums going on about how 3D 'SUCKZ LULZ' does not reflect the real world. In the real world numbers talk. Loud and clear. 3D = $$$$

[Member-115369]

It's hard to just look at numbers though as for a lot of movies if you want to see it you have to see it in 3D a lot of places, and even with places with 2D options it's on one screen with limited show times so you often end up stuck with a 3D showing or waiting around an hour or more for a 2D showing depending on your schedule.

That said, 3D is clearly doing well and the movie going public likes it. I'm not a huge fan. I don't hate it, but I don't think it ads a lot, I dislike having to wear glasses and sometimes get a headache from them, and especially don't like paying the extra premium when movie tickets are already way overpriced these days (especially in a big city). But I agree it's here to stay.

As far as home theater goes, I don't have a 3D TV and have no plans on buying a TV in the near future. I just don't have much interest in having to wear glasses to watch a movie. When technology advances and they can do 3D without glasses and with wide viewing angles I'll be a lot more receptive to the idea.

That's definitely one point, it's not fair.

3D Tv's have been out for over two years. 3D PC games and applications (in the current form) for four years, 3D cinema (in the current form) for twelve years, PC virtual reality for fifteen years, 3D cinema (in general) for a hundred years.

None of these technologies or experiences should cost more than their 2D counterparts. One reason for the empty cinemas I mentioned on the previous page.

I'm not rich. I go to 3D movies, have a 3D PC, and owned a 3D plasma. You can budget for it if you really like it, but most people don't care for "how the director intended you to see it". They go for the cheapest screening/television, and are happy with it. Hence 3D doesn't sell to the mainstream.

We (film buffs) are not like regular people. Have you ever turned off motion flow on your mates telle and gone; "Now, doesn't that look better?" only to have him/her reply; "I still don't see what you mean!" When the back speakers at A Nightmare on Elm Street screening kept cutting out, of me and my two mates who went, only I noticed.

These people don't, and will never, care for 3D as long as it costs more.

And when the cost does come down (if it does), the technology is still imperfect, hence the link I posted on the previous page. I get really sleepy after more than 100 minutes of active. My mate almost had a seizure playing Sonic on my PS3 (active). The cinema's never look as good as home. Two people's opinions are never the same.

Yeah, opinions are like... everyone has one. But on technical levels, people shouldn't argue. Yeah, someone can say; "I hate The Shawshank Redemption", and you can be like; "Mother...er what?", but that's still an opinion and you gotta respect it. But something like "The Na'vi's eyes look fake" is a technical observation, and is remarkably wrong.

3D should fall in this category. Everyone with two working eyes should see the same thing. There should be no The Phantom Menace is the best/worst 3D conversion debates at all. If it's the best everyone, who can see, should see it.

So I refer back to the link I posted on page 8. 3D is great for the six of us who can see it, but for it to be "the future of cinema", the technology needs to be re-invented, and STANDARDIZED.

I think that's everything I wanted to say.

yeah, but once 6 of the top 10 movies were in black and white with mono sound if you like 3D movies, good for you put personally, i hate them. unless you see them in IMAX where the screen is huge, the point of 3D is lost since you see beyond the sides of the screen. hard to feel like you are part of that world when you see the theatre walls. and this 3D conversion they use is a joke. Saw Phantom Menace in theatres. with real 3D, you really should never be able to take off your glasses since the whole thing was filmed with 2 cameras so it should always look like 2 images on the screen. there were parts in Phantom Menace that i watched without the glasses and they were pretty clear without them. something is wrong there. new movies being filmed in 3D is a different story but they still have that same problem with the screen being too small to make it feel real.

And adjust for inflating costs 1 of the top 10 is 3D;

Yes I get it there are people who like 3D (I do) and those who dont if you dont good for you. how about getting this thread back on track and not make it a war over 3D.
