3D WATCH: Priest, Transformers in 3D?

February 5th, 2010 by Marc Leave a reply »

The newest movies on the list of those switching to 3D after the success of Avatar are Priest and the Transformers series.

Originally set to be released on August 20th, Priest has been delayed for five months until January 14th, 2011. It’s expected that the movie will be undergoing 3D conversion during that time.

Michael Bay was adamant last year when talking about Transformers 3 that it would not be in 3D, and that he saw it as being a gimmick. It seems that many have changed, as Variety is now reporting that he’s in talks with Paramount and Industrial Light and Magic for the movie to be made in 3D. They say the biggest stumbling block in making the change is the extra time that will be required for visual effects, considering the release date has already been set for July 1, 2011.
