Polarized, Not Stirred: DR. NO *PERHAPS* Going Into Three Dimensions! And An IMAX 3D Release??

**UPDATE - Feb 22:  Apparently this is all just a rumor and nothing has been substantiated. This is from a reliable person with knowledge of the franchise. Oh well, one can wish can't one?


This is very interesting news indeed! I love the earlier Bond films and yes, Sean Connery is my favorite Bond - by a wide margin. Apparently DR. NO, the first of the James Bond franchise movies, has been converted to 3D and is now available in Asia for purchase on Blu-ray 3D.

Here's what we know about the Asian release of the disc:
Number: B0418
Level: protected
Sound: British: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1ch
Subtitle: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, French, German, West, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean
Running time: 110 minutes
Picture: HD High Definition 1.78:1 (1920 X 1080)
Issued: INTRODUCTION good

No word on when the disc will be available in North America retail and online outlets.

That being said there is a possibility of an IMAX 3D theatrical release of the DR. NO conversion because of a posting on Moviefone listing DR. NO: IMAX 3D. Coincidence? I think not. Stay tuned for more info when we get it!

James Bond Franchise Going S3D!?!

Dorey. James Dorey here. :-) Well this makes my day if not my month so far! Nothing is confirmed yet and in fact the source of this rumor is a UK rag, but what the heck - this is James Bond!

According to The Sun (via IGN), Sam Mendes has been given a few extra months in pre-production to prep for shooting the next JAMES BOND thriller in stereoscopic 3D!

I tell you what... this is icing on the cake after what Cameron has done with AVATAR! We are now seeing trusted and proven franchises that are the epitome of industry go S3D and I could not be more elated. A recent comment on MarketSaw some time ago said that pretty soon it will only be news if a new movie is NOT in 3D. I agree!!

So what do you think of Daniel Craig once again suiting up as agent 003D... errr 007 to save the world?!
