The phenomenal box-office performance of “Avatar” has shown that mainstream moviegoers appreciate 3D, This is why it’s not surprising that Warner Bros. is set to announce that two of their much-anticipated productions—”Clash of the Titans” and the two-part “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”—will have 3D versions.

Though Warner Bros. has not yet released an official statement regarding such move, it is already out in the open that “Clash of the Titans” has already been converted into 3D by an outside vendor. Initially scheduled for showing on March 26 this year, the film will be moved one week to April 2 to accommodate the process of 3D-fication.

The change reportedly only took an additional $10 million, half of which went to film conversion and the other half to distribution of 3-D glasses.

Fortunately the release dates of the last two Harry Potter films still stay the same. “Deathly Hallows: Part I” will be shown on November 19 this year, while the second part will be seen on July 15, 2011. It is expected that the two-part finale will have more parts using 3D techniques, a complete step-up from last year’s “The Half-Blood Prince” where only 25 minutes of footages got a more life-like appearance.

The upcoming “Clash of the Titans” is set to accomplish two things. Aside from wishing to achieve an “Avatar”-like box-office sales, it will also attempt to outdo Warner Bros’ previous Greco-Roman production, “300,” which raked in $211 million in the United States and $245 million worldwide in 2007.

It is not hard to assume that between “Harry Potter” and “Clash of the Titans,” it will be more challenging for the latter to seek for 3D moviegoers, given the wizard’s established franchise.

A remake of the 1981 film of the same name, “Clash of the Titans” is a retelling of the myth of Perseus, a god who grew up in the human world. Perseus is set to defeat Hades, the god of the underworld who plans of seizing power from the king of the gods Zeus to extend his dark reign all over earth. The film follows the hero’s adventures as he fights against demons, beasts, and other minions of the underworld.

Other films predicted to have a more life-like version that will succeed these two are future releases of MGM’s James Bond 007 films and Sony Entertainment’s “Spiderman 4.” (Jezriel M)
