As a part of their 3D week, MTV spoke to Harry Potter producer David Heyman, since it was announced that the final installments will be utilising the technology for the release of Deathly Hallows.

Quote:

MTV: When did you make the decision to do the two parts of "Deathly Hallows" in 3-D?

David Heyman: I think that it emerged organically. Clearly, the success of 3-D movies has had an impact on the economy and making of films. We saw an opportunity and grabbed it. Also, "Harry Potter" itself has so many exciting possibilities for 3-D, both in things coming at you and also just in making that world seem even more epic than it already is. "Harry Potter" is already an epic film, but having that added dimension will make it even more epic, and that seemed like an opportunity that was too hard to pass up. Though we didn't shoot it in 3-D, the quality of post-3-D has improved remarkably in the last year or two, so we felt very comfortable with that process.

Quote:

MTV: Do you know how long the conversion process will actually take once you start doing it?

Heyman: What they generally talk about is 12 to 16 weeks, but we're going to begin the process very, very soon.

Quote:

MTV: Is there one scene in particular that you think is going to be especially great in 3-D?

Heyman: I am obviously looking forward to some of the battle sequences in the second part. I am also looking forward to seeing the dragon flying up. I think there's a lot that will be great in 3-D, but to me, where it's really most exciting is just making that world seem much deeper, richer and what that extra dimension gives you.

Quote:

MTV: Now that you're going to do "Deathly Hallows" in 3-D, have you given any thought to re-releasing some of the other "Potter" films in 3-D?

Heyman: Those discussions haven't yet happened, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. You know what? I actually shouldn't say that. Who knows? It would be great. You can never tell. I hope so.

I agree completely. Yates isn't that good at keeping the story of Potter interesting enough to watch onscreen. I get bored watching the film at certain parts, even when watching it for the first time, because he doesn't seem to understand how to link the story and the audience together. I've only seen HBP twice and that was enough for me whereas with the first four I can watch a million times and still love every moment. I think he's a medicore director at best. That's just my opinion, of course. I'm sure there are others that like him.

As far as 3D, I'm not exactly going crazy over it. I mean 2D is pretty clear in terms of visuals too today. However, it sounds intersting enough so I may see what the fuss is all about.

Please tell me that some movie theaters will give u the opinion of seeing it in 2D. I mean I saw Alice and Wonderlandin 2D and I didn't think you'd need 2 see it in 3D. Hmmm Maybe that was because the screens at one of the theaters where I live was in XD

I saw Avatar in 3D and regular. I can't say the the 3D was significantly more realistic or anything. Especially, not considering it was twice the cost of a regular ticket. So I might pass on the 3D unless the ratings for the 3D are out the roof or my seriously addicted film buff friends tell me it's the only way to go.

All 3D films come with a 2D alternative.
