The net was all abuzz when new came out a while back that George Lucas was planning on releasing all the Star Wars films in 3-D next year. However… perhaps George didn’t think about that fact that this could take a little bit of time.
The good folks over at Variety are reporting that things will probably get pushed back quite a bit. Here’s the scoop:
Producer Rick MacCallum is skeptical that they will be ready anytime soon.
“No, we don’t have any real plans,” “Star Wars” producer Rick McCallum says. “George had never seen the footage of the first six minutes of ‘Episode IV’ until a week before ShoWest.” He goes on to say that although Lucas wants it really badly, they “can’t implement it until the industry gets its act together and pushes digital cinema forward.”
I can’t wait to see this… even if it’s just for the sake of novelty.
