Just how effect would 3D transfer of a 2D movie look? I can't believe it would look as good as movie shot in 3D, would it?

From what I can gather, there are 2 or 3 different companies that are busy using this new 'conversion' process on 2D movies, and that the results have been generally excellent and right up there with the latest actual 'dedicated 3D' filming.

This 'conversion' technique isn't just being used on past 2D movies, as it seems that some upcoming planned 3D features are still going to be filmed in 2D first, before being 'converted'.

Seemingly, this process can give a great deal of control as far as being able to pull various elements out into the layers of depth required.

Personally, if this means that STAR WARS (albeit not necessarily the versions I'd prefer) can be seen on the big screen again, I'm all for that. Hopefully, the company that does the 'conversions' will do a good job of them eventually.

Here's a list of some of the many 3D-related projects that are seemingly in development at the moment - http://marketsaw.blogspot.com/2007/04/list-of-upcoming-3d-movies.html
