Of fer christ's sake, TITANIC to get 3-D makeover

[charlie and algernon]

Jack and Rose's "Titanic" love will indeed go on... and on... and on thanks to a newly announced 3D makeover. The MTV Movies Blog caught up with "Titanic" director James Cameron at Comic-Con where he revealed his plans to "dimensionalize" the 1997 blockbuster.

Working on the upcoming 3D flick "Avatar" is what inspired James Cameron to give his watery epic the multi-dimensional makeover. According to Cinematical, the process will take one year to 14 months to complete, meaning the revamped film could likely hit the big screen sometime in 2011, probably around the much-coveted holiday season.

News that Rose (Kate Winslet), Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and their "Titanic" shipmates will rise again in 3D got us thinking about which scenes we're stoked to see in eye-popping detail.

why the hell?? Why are 3-D movies making a comeback?

1. Next up - THE FLINTSTONES in 3D on I-MAX!

You laugh? Just wait.

2. 3D is generally not reproduced on home theater systems

so I imagine the movie houses are quite fond of the 3D movies.

4. especially the new 3D movies

for movies like Up and G-Force, I'm seeing a set of times for the regular version and a set of times for the 3-D versions. Twice the amount of theaters and double the amount of bodies, so double the profit.

3. I've never met anyone that actually will admit to liking that movie.

[gmoney]

5. I liked about 30 seconds of it...

Kate looked great being sketched...

6. Is it going to get an acting make-over? nt

[InternalDialogue]

7. No, even the newest 3D technology has yet to give Leonardo DiCaprio any depth. nt

17. Just wait until...

...George Lucas follows this up by announcing Star Wars Episodes 1-3 in 3-D. :eyes:

[GaYellowDawg]

21. ZING! Good one.

:spray: :spray: :spray:

[Taverner]

8. It was a bad movie to begin with!

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. John Holmes films in 3D?

"You'll put your eye out, kid!"

[MilesColtrane]

10. "News that..."Titanic"...will rise again in 3D got us thinking about which scenes we're stoked to...

...see in eye-popping detail."

My vote: Kate Winslet's baby feeders.

[regnaD kciN]

15. I can just hear it now...

In the theater: "Ohmigod! DUCK!!!" :evilgrin:

11. Polishing a turd just leaves you with a shiny turd.

Titanic sucked to begin with (except for the naked Kate Winslet). Why don't film makers start remaking GOOD stuff, or better yet, think of some *original* ideas?

[rcrush]

12. The only reason anyone is going to see this

Kate Winslets boobs in 3D. You all were thinking it.

[arbusto_baboso]

13. And even then I'd wait for it to get to the bargain theater.

I'm not paying full price eve for Winslet boobs, even in 3-D.

[regnaD kciN]

14. Why bother with 3-D when you've still got a 1-D script...?

:shrug:

[charlie and algernon]

19. i guess James Cameron spent the billion he earned the first time around

and needs more video game and pizza money.

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Worth it to see the amazing Kate Winslet's even more amazing breasts in 3D

Otherwise, though, there really is no reason to turn that piece of shit into a 3D movie. Or even to ever mention it again.

[TheMightyFavog]

18. Most. Overrated. Movie. Ever.

Yeah, the special effects were bleeding edge eleven years ago, but that still didn't justify the number of Oscars that shitburger of a film won.

[Bucky]

20. I went to see a play last week. All the characters on stage were in 3D. It was so life like.

Almost as good as going to the movies.
