In a report over at Hollywood in Hi Def the site mention that Christopher Nolan's latest movie, Inception, is being considered for a 3D conversion as part of the recent announcement that HBO are launching a 3D TV channel next year. As IGN point out: "The cable net is part of the same larger corporation as Warner Bros, and the 3D Inception would make for a big splashy debut for the new channel."
As previous reports have shown, Chris Nolan is not a big fan of the 3D formate despite having shot parts of both
The Dark Knight and
Inception in IMAX, and he apparently even stopped Warner Bros. from converting the latter to 3D before it's release back in July. Despite all this, the site points out one very interesting piece of information:
"Prevailing opinions at Warner are that Nolan will not enjoy the luxury of taking a pass on 3D for the new Batman movie, which will surely be set up for 3D from the beginning."
With his past few movies being such huge critical and financial successes, would WB/DC really risk upsetting the guy who has publicly declared his dislike for the format in the past? However, in a year with films like
The Avengers and
Spider-Man also being released in 3D, will they be forced to do the same with
Batman 3?
Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
Batman 3 is set to be released on July 20, 2012!
