A scene from the movie Lord Of the Rings

With so many films on the path of either 3D or Imax it is surely safe to say that The Hobbit will also be getting the treatment. For instance Avatar will be getting the full 3D treatment while Iron Man 2 will get the partial treatment for its next movie. The cinema going experience will be changing in the next couple of years. So the question was put to director Guillermo Del Toro about the possibility of the medium.

“IMAX is a fantastic medium. I am a shareholder. I love IMAX. I remember seeing ‘Polar Express,’ and then seeing ‘Polar Express’ in 3D and IMAX and having my life completely transformed,” he enthused, excitedly discussing the format’s immersive capabilities. “I think it would be a worthy discussion. But it hasn’t arrived.

“I think that we are experienced enough, I guess would be the term, to know that we should not daydream about [things like that] when we write the screenplay,” he said of whether or not he was even flirting with 3D or IMAX as possibilities. “Right now what we have is, you don’t have two filmmakers and two screenplay writers – you have four screenplay writers. We’ll be talking about 3D, on IMAX – but [not] right now.”

There are also talks about Peter Jackson maybe re releasing the Lord Of The Rings trilogies in 3D. This will surely be something to look out for.
