It has always seemed obvious to me that if the situation with 3D should develope explosively we would see (technology allowing) 3D versions of the whole pentology in theatres soon enough - but not necessarily at the first release of the Hobbit. Consistency with the trilogy has always been made a key factor by you and PJ for this production and I am sure that this is fully trusted. Too many of those using this site and others seem to think that film making can involve absolute commitments too the process and the final results - even cast iron contracts cannot guarantee those absolutes - impossible in any creative project. You are steering a huge enterprise lasting 3 to 5 years into the future (with DVD and Blurays) and the future can never deliver absolute certainty, just true belief and intentions. I for one hope it gives you great confidence that most Tornadoes on this most demanding site believe enough in your personal integrity to defend it without a second thought. In practical terms, even if 3D should become a major priority, I would think that the widest audience would be found overall by also running 2D screenings - there would have to be 2D versions for DVD/Bluray surely? I know if no technology yet that could deliver any acceptable 3D on home systems? And it does have visual distortion issues for some. I guess us die hard trilogy fans just want to be able to watch the same world in the same way for 24 continuous hours (with pee breaks) as Ian McKellen said in his U tube BFI video, the moment you release Hobbit number 2! A future I hope to see.
