Plans for DH1 3D Canceled

So according to a recent Mugglenet article, Deathly Hallows Part 1 is no longer going to be coming out in 2D and 3D apparently due to time limits and the movie not being able to reach desired quality in time for the November 19 release and they know they'd be murdered if they pushed it back any further. (;

However, DH Part 2 will be released in both 2D and 3D as planned.

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.

Producer David Heyman said, "For 10 years, we have worked alongside Alan Horn and the studio, whose priority has always been to preserve the integrity of Jo Rowling's books as we have adapted them to the screen, and this decision reflects that commitment."

Director David Yates continued, "This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first."

As scheduled, on July 15, 2011, we will deliver to conventional and IMAX theaters our final installment of the film franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2," in both 2D and 3D formats.

I for one wasn't even planning to see it in 3D as I think 3D is a bit of a waste actually. It's extra expensive and not even that 3D or different from the normal theater version.

And anyway, it's still going to be in I-MAX which is awesomer than 3D anyway. (;

It was definitley a good decision on WB's part to not release it in a crappy 3D form though. xD

I quite agree, 3D is more trouble than it's worth. (It's also ridiculous to put the 3D glasses over my glasses).

Good ol' 2D :D

Ohmygosh, I hate when I have to wear double the glasses. Not fun. xD

Wouldn't mind seeing it in I-MAX though! :D

Exactly how I feel. I don't think 3D is worth it. At all. It gives me a headache.

Just saw Legend of the Guardians in 3D. >< At least they made the most of it!

I think 3D is ok and it's a shame there not having it in it. I like 3D even though I have to wear double glasses. At least my heads small

Those glasses are really big though. ><

The second one will still be in 3D though for all the 3D lovers out there (Ellen )

It just makes my head hurt. >.<

And doesn't fit over my glasses. Hahaha

Us poor folks with glasses, we're the ones who suffer!

Hehehe, but my glasses aren't necessary so I'm fine without them. But it's still obnoxious. xD

Mine are absolutely necessary. *cries*

Mine are needed

When I was in primary school I often forgot my specs and my mum would walk up with them

I didn't get bad eyesight until about year nine.

My current frames are very snazzy, I have to say XD

Hahaha, I only need mine for reading music.

....which is actually most of the time anyway. >.<

I don't need mine... when I'm asleep

I can't see more than 30cm from my face ><

Awww, that's so sad.

Just to get back on topic...glasses with 3D glasses are a pain but either way I don't think I would have seen HP in 3D....not worth it in my opinion.

I got glasses when I was 6

I would have seen it in 3D I think. Despite my 3D reservations.

I might have seen it in 3D after watching it in 2D ten times just to see how they compare....xD

I would have done it the other way around :D

haha.
