The highway to the danger zone will soon be in 3-D.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Tony Scott’s hit movie Top Gun is next in line for the 3-D conversion. A four-minute preview of the 3-D version was screened Monday at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam.
Legend3D is working on the conversion for the film and hopes to see it released into theaters.
“We think there is great potential for catalog titles in 3D, but studios have had trouble justifying the expense,” says CEO Rob Hummel, explaining that Legend 3D is funding and doing the conversion for Paramount.
“As I understand it, they are planning to release it in 3D in early 2012, though I known they want to get Tony Scott’s approval before they go forward,” he said, explaining that Legend 3D effectively has a revenue sharing deal with Paramount.
“I think Top Gun lends itself to 3D due to the aerial flight,” he said of the project. “You can have fun with 3D by bringing things off the screen if they are not attached to the edge of the screen.”
Don’t care about this one. I won’t spend money on anything Tom Cruise is in.
I feel the need. The need for greed!
