Along with Warner Bros. announcing plans to mine DC Comics for more feature film releases thanks to their financial success, they have also released information regarding which of their upcoming films will be released in headache inducing three dimensions.
The most anticipated films to be given the 3D treatments are Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I. Rumors had been swirling around the two films being given the in-your-face treatment, but while it seemed fairly likely that Harry Potter would be released with it, the relatively close release date of Clash on April 2 brought that film's 3D conversion into question. The film was not originally intended to be released in 3D, so it will have to undergo a post-production conversion, which is fairly more expensive than if had originally been intended to be that way from the beginning. There wasn't any word about whether The Deathly Hollows: Part II, the second and final part of Warners' adaptation of the book, but it's safe to say that, if the first film is, the second film logically will be, too.
Other forthcoming 3D releases are Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore - a wonderfully punny title for the sequel, if I do say so myself - and Guardians of Ga'Hoole, an adaptation of the Kathryn
Lasky series of fantasy books which is being directed by 300 and Watchmen director Zack Snyder, who has proven himself more than capable of adapting literature to cinema.
Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution for Warner Bros., also revealed that the studio was looking to return to its previous films for 3D re-releases. The studio has flirted with the technology in The Polar Express and scenes in Superman Returns and views RealD and IMAX technology as being the future of cinema.
