Wow, color us surprised. Warner Bros. has canceled plans to release the first entry in the two-part “Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows” in 3D. It will still hit theaters as planned on November 19th, but now people won’t need to wear the dorky glasses and pay extra money for the privilege.
In a statement, the studio said “we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window,” adding “despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey.” So is this just a fancy way of saying the conversion looked fucking terrible and they don’t want to make the same mistake they did with “Clash Of The Titans”? Yeah, we think so.
David Yates says, “This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first.” No word yet if the Warner Bros. are still aiming to convert part two, which will hit theaters on July 15, 2011. If they do, they have plenty of time to get it right or even better, not do it at all.
