Conversion Wish list: Which 2D movies would look great converted to 3D? - Page 55 - Blu-ray Forum

Dommage, it's not in 3D

I really wish we could get a 3D re release of The Exorcist but going by William Freidkin past comments on 3D I know that will never happening

William Friedkins views on 3D from 2010:

Wait. So you are okay with the film being in 3D? Or is that one aspect of the new media that will never happen?

William Friedkin: I don't like 3D. I don't believe there is any film that I have seen and loved that would have been improved by a scintilla in 3D. To me, it's just a gimmick. To me, the art of cinema is the same as the art of painting. The artist takes a 2D medium and gives you the illusion of depth. If you look at any of the great paintings, you have the illusion of depth. Which is part of the art. The same with the great movies. I don't believe that Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind, or any damn picture that you can name, would be better off in 3D. I think it's a gimmick. And it reminds me of what happened when Cinemascope came in . When everybody predicted that every picture ever made was going to be in Cinemascope. Because it's not that way. It was meant to get people out of the house. I find 3D distracting. I'm in the minority, I know.

It really disappointed me to gear Friedkin talk like this about 3D, I would definitely think he should be shown some 3D movies like Dial M Murder, Hugo that would more likely change his mind. There are a lot of old classic movies I've always wanted to see in 3D and I find it really sad that some of these old directors like Friedkin, Coppola & John Carpenter are so close minded.

I'd love for these movies to get 3D conversions

Freddy Vs Jason
Cloverfield
IT Chapters 1 & 2
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Terminator 1
Aliens 1 & 2
Candyman (1992)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

John Wick 4, Peter Jackson's King Kong, and Aliens are on the way, all in 3D.

Hows he doing these conversions?

How do we get one?

We'll have wait and see how the AI conversion of NIGHTMARE CASTLE turns out.

Yes, let's wait and see if conversions other than studio ones, are any good, based on Nightmare Castle.
