Coming Soon reports that James Cameron is most definitely planning a release of his Oscar-winning Titanic in 3D. Here’s what Cameron had to say about the release date:
We’re targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of ‘Titanic’), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship.
Cameron was also asked about the possibility of an Avatar re-release in 3D this upcoming fall:
We’re not officially announcing it right now but I’m hoping for fall. The wildcard is that we might be re-releasing the movie this fall. It’s kind of gotten stomped out (in theaters) because of ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ The word we’re getting back from exhibitors is we probably left a couple of hundred million dollars on the table as a result. The question is the appetite still going to be there after the summer glut of movies. We’re going to assess that. We’re talking about maybe adding in additional footage and doing something creative.”
Avatar has recently passed the $2.6 billion mark in theaters worldwide, and looks poised to earn even more. To read the entire interview with James Cameron, head over to USA Today.
