Fox has revealed plans today to continue ramping up the number of 3D films that they release. This year, they are releasing two films in 3D: Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Avatar. Fox Filmed Entertainment chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos announced, at ShoWest today, that they plan on releasing three films in 3D in 2010.
What he didn’t mention are the names of those three films. In 2010, they have a few films that would make great potential 3D releases, that we know of. One of those is the remake of Fantastic Voyage, which is about a scientist with a potentially fatal health problem takes a risk on his only chance of survival: for five of his colleagues to be miniaturized in a ship and injected into his bloodstream.
The other film on the list of 2010 releases includes The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Does that mean we have the potential to see a Narnia film in 3D? Definitely!
What I hope, though, is that they do the 3D film without relying on the gimmicks that usually come with a 3D film. Although, with the new wave of 3D movies that have come out lately, those gimmicks seem to only happen in movies that were meant to be 3D from the start. 3D films are beginning to use 3D as an advantage, bringing people into the environment of the movie and immersing the viewer in the world presented, instead of intentionally throwing things toward the camera.
Another thing about 3D movies that a lot of people still don’t realize is that the technology is now advanced, and using the red and blue lenses is a thing of the past. They now use polarized lenses that make the 3D happen.
What do you think? Would you like to see Dawn Treader in 3D?
