So the masses don't have much longer to wait now, it seems...
Since my initial post here about this way back in 2009, certain 3D movies have gone on to give me and mine a great time at the movies, albeit a pricey one at times! If only the 'powers-that-be' hadn't ended up charging an extra 'premium' for this latest 3D revival in the first place... However, I'm fully aware that there's plenty out there that *still* wouldn't like the effect even if they'd been been charged the same rate as seeing a 2D movie.
Anyway, the idea of being able to see a 3D version of the 'Original Trilogy' on the big screen one day, was something that would have amazed me when I was younger, and although the attraction has waned since then due to too many alterations for the worse...and a general debasement of the franchise with disappointing follow-ups overall...the notion of seeing some of my favourite (as-yet-unspoiled, apart from the colour) movie scenes in this format, remains strong...
...so much so, that I'll be braving the more dire moments of the 'official' version of 'The Phantom Menace' once again, come February next year...just to satisfy my curiosity of how well the 'conversions' of the overall 'saga' are going to look when 'dimensionalized'...
Personally, I haven't yet decided if it was hilarious or just sadly typical that the recent trailer to hit the net happened to be so strangely-coloured...and happened to end with a nerve-grinding 'NOOOOOOOOOOOO!'... But even George himself might balk at putting out *this* particular 'colour-grading' theatrically! ;)
Anyway, I'll be interested to hear if anyone actually sees this attached with anything onscreen at some point, to hear how it looked in actual 3D. In the meantime until a better-coloured version appears, here's a working embed of the gloriously YELLOW trailer (hit the 'full screen' icon on the video for maximum impact) - http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=32319
