James Cameron is set to give the 3D treatment to the film that made him “King Of The World,” “Titanic.”
Speaking with USA Today (via Dark Horizons) Cameron said, “We’re targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of Titanic), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship.” But wait, wasn’t Cameron the same guy who said he was not down with 2D to 3D conversion just last month? Well, he calls out “Clash Of The Titans” in particular (again) saying, “They’re converting “Clash of the Titans” in eight weeks. But I’m guessing six months to a year to do it right.”
Just a second James Cameron. Yours is going to be more legit than Louis Leterrier’s film because you’re going to be more obsessive compulsive about it and spend a year tinkering? Whatever James. “Titanic” was a 2D film, never meant to be shown in 3D, and no amount of technical wizardry is going to change that. A cash grab is a cash grab, no matter how you try to justify it.
Anyway, we’re not sure what his beef is with Warner Bros. or why he isn’t pointing the finger at other cheapo 3D jobs like “Alice In Wonderland,” which also recently ousted “Avatar” off screens, but we’re sure there’s a meatier story behind this.
