I remember years ago. The Weekly World News' columnist, Ed Anger, was thrilled with movie colorization. But he not only wanted all the old black & white movies colorized---he wanted them in 3D!
I don't think you could make old, 2D movies into 3D back when that column was written. But you can now. Some company wants to use its software to make Star Wars and other sci fi movies into 3D.
It doesn't interest me a bit.
But one thing I wouldn't mind seeing---and they could do this and get the serious high-brows on their side and avoid the unpleasantness that occurred years ago over colorization---is Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder in 3D as originally intended.
The movie's not terribly impressive in 2D, a minor work by Hitchcock, but people have been saying for years that it was one of his greater works in 3D. There's no telling if that's true. I don't think it's been shown in 3D since it was released in 1954. But now there's hope that we can find out.
