I want a HFR 3d version of LOtR... Can't Post

Re-released in theaters... Epic I would imagine, but is it possible?

3D is possible, yes [In reply to] Can't Post

Warner Bros. would have to pay for an expensive conversion of the 2D version to 3D. Whether they will do so is another question. The brief fad for converting older classics to 3D may be over as more new 3D films are made.

HFR is not possible. There's no way to take the 24 frames shot each second to make LOTR cannot be magically converted into 48 frames.

No, please!! [In reply to] Can't Post

The HFR was not good. It looked too much like an artificial world, like a video game. To me, it detracted from the vivid realness of Middle Earth established in LOTR.

HFR is just as possible as 3D... [In reply to] Can't Post

Frames can be interpolated, just as 3D can be conjured up from 2D.

But not sure [In reply to] Can't Post

If the bigatures or stunt action segments can stand up to that.

No thanks... [In reply to] Can't Post

...Not a fan of 3D, and HFR would only show up the age of the effects and colour grain of the film.

I hope Jackson dosen't do a Lucas and 'improve' the films for Home Video release...

Question [In reply to] Can't Post

I don't really know much about the technology involved, so there's something I'm curious about. PJ said in one interview that because of shooting in 3D they couldn't use the same techniques to create the size difference in the Hobbit as they'd done in LotR, because in LotR they often played with the perspective so that the character that was supposed to be bigger was closer to the camera, but that arrangement would have been exposed by 3D and it wouldn't have worked. Would the same issue exist when converting into 3D somerhing that was originally shot in 2D, or is it only an issue when actually shooting in 3D?

I'd certainly love it if it could be done (and was done, like the Titanic 3D re-release) because I'd love to be able to go and see those movies in the cinema again in any number of D. Maybe for the 20 year anniversary?

No [In reply to] Can't Post

Because when you convert a 2d image to 3D you have to choose which part in in which position in z-depth.
When shooting in 3D you can't choose anymore. It's given.

It's perfectly possible... [In reply to] Can't Post

There's a 3D conversion of some lotr scenes on youtube, you should search it out, it's worth a watch.

As for HFR, most TVs can interpolate frames with very little problems. A professional interpolation would likely be very convincing.
