Slowly evolving from fad to Standard Blockbuster Procedure (the jury's still out on whether it'll slip back into "just a phase territory, but post-Avatar, that won't be for a while), 3D is going to Hogwarts. Yes, both chunks of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows will be converted to the format.
According to the Heat Vision Blog, early 3D conversion tests for the **Clash Of The Titans **remake have been such a roaring success that Warners executives have decided that the format is clearly The Way Ahead. Or, at the very least, The Way To Squeeze More Cash Out Of The Punters give audiences the unique experience of seeing Harry and co in 3D.
Warners was apparently closed-mouthed when asked to confirm, so until the official announcement this is technically a rumour. But that shoe is expected to drop before the week - and knowing the speed at which these things move in the Internet age, the day - is over.
Each film will cost $5 million to convert and the process will also shove the release date of Titans back a week to 2nd April. The Potter pics are still on course for 19th November of this year and 15th July 2011 respectively.
Who wants to bet one of the 3D glasses companies will market Potter framed goggles for watching Hallows?
