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.
Cameron, Cameron, Cameron…
You Magnificent Douche…
this is stupid
uhh, james cameron is NOT being hypocritical, because he has no choice – if he could have shot titanic in 3d, he would have; but the technology didn't exist yet. titanic was made in 1997, so it's already set in stone in 2d. cameron criticizes shooting movies in 2d from the get go when your intention is for it to be in 3d in the future.
you fail.
total hypocrite.
Wake up everyone…3D has, does, and always will suck.

WTF? Dude, 3D movies have been made since the 1950's. It's only that they've become accepted by the mainstream now, whereas in the past they were dismissed as novelty films.

Could not agree more. My Ma told me she watched those kind of films around 50-60s and she ask why only at this time 3d films so hot
