Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 won't be in 3-D after all

Imagine that — a studio realizes that a movie will look poopy in 3-D, so they decide not to do it. Warner Bros. decided the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be 2-D only.

Said Warners in a statement:

Warner Bros Pictures has made the decision to release "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" in 2D, in both conventional and IMAX theaters, as we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. 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, and to that end, we are releasing our film day-and-date on November 19, 2010 as planned. We, in alignment with our filmmakers, believe this is the best course to take in order to ensure that our audiences enjoy the consummate "Harry Potter" experience.

We knew Harry Potter had amazing powers, but the ability to vanquish the trend towards last-minute, eye-bleeding 3-D conversions? That's incredible.

Prez said...

Thank all that is good and holy. I didn't want to pay an extra four dollars just to see Emma Watson's chest in perspective.

ModerneFusion said...

3D and 2D are essentially the same, the poppy-ness doesn't really make it better, it's only epic when it's 4D 8D

it's nice when a company doesn't rush things and instead chooses to put out a quality movie instead.

3D movies are awesomish. I seen toy story 3 in 3D, was excellent. But kinda distracting from the movie I think.

Something good to be said about harry potter? I call shenanigans.

Unknown said...

Oh my Rowling, there is some sort of Wizarding god. One movie won't be tarnished with 3-D that I actually want to see in theaters anyway.

kabello said...

ZeeZ said...

YES! I am sooo looking forward to see this movie, and I'm still sure that 3D is still in the experiment process, so I'm glad that harry is not going to be in 3D :D

The Messy Apron said...

I cant wait to watch it in all its 2-D glory!

That's pretty epic that it's going to be 3d

Bobo said...

Jimmy Volmer said...

Donkote said...

3d movies aren't all that great anyway

Victor M. said...

Thank God, 3D sucks.

Sebastian said...

3D only worked for the movie Avatar, really. If a movie isn't focussed on its 3D-effects, the effects add nothing at all.

-ITW- said...

3d stuff is definitely over rated.

Binary Soul said...

Thank GOD

What are you doing here. said...

Anything in 3D is good

ikatashi said...

thank god- 3d crap is getting out of hand

likethat? said...

haha, well whatever 3d doesnt make a movie better anyways, except for avatar....

Brunix said...

GOOD! all the 3d bs is getting really old.

Anonymous said...

I'm not a fan of 3d at all especially the post-conversion stuff. clash of the Titans suffered greatly because of this.

Tip Junkies said...

That's not too disappointing. I'm no fan of 3D.

killerkun said...

Thank god! I'm getting sick that every movie that comes out it has to be 3D (But seeing Emma Watson in 3D can't be that bad)

David Davidson said...

Maybe part 2 will be in 3D, who knows.

Abigale Consulting said...

Everything is being released in 3d now. Nice to see this is not going to be.

Lil Pee said...

Dang.. they're still making Harry Potter movies? I thought they finished it already.

momo said...

starMaster! said...

Rubix said...

i hope 3d is a fad that passes

rew123 said...

harold potter in 3d?! oh noes!

Kewt Jessie said...

2D > 3D

Unknown said...

I'm fine with this. 3D is a gimmick that needs to die fast, if you ask me.

Telia Tuli said...

3D Shmee-D

Totalitarian said...

Not really a fan of Harry Potter

Michele said...

Barnacle said...

Zygg said...

Harry Potter isn't the kind of movie that I would really want to see in 3D anyways, so whatever.

happybuffet said...
