Coming Soon: New 3D Movies for 2011 (http://avatarblog.typepad.com/avatar-blog/2010/12/coming-soon-new-3d-movies-for-2011.html)

http://www.avatar-forums.com/images/imported/2010/12/119.jpg (http://avatarblog.typepad.com/avatar-blog/2010/06/avatar-sequel-coming-in-2014.html) Although 3D movie production was gaining steam when AVATAR was released, the science-fiction epic set an incredibly high bar for anyone who would follow into the 3D realm. And yet—Hollywood being Hollywood—there's no shortage of studios, directors and artists willing to bring their own "A" game and try.
Here's a roundup of what to look for, third dimension-wise, in the coming year. Sadly, the sequel to AVATAR won't be ready until 2014 (http://avatarblog.typepad.com/avatar-blog/2010/06/avatar-sequel-coming-in-2014.html).
Alien 3D
In the perennial game of can-you-top-this? he's been playing for decades with James Cameron, Ridley Scott (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000631/) is expected to film the next Alien movie in 3D, although as Fandango (http://www.fandango.com/l) puts it, the original Alien movies did a great job of scaring (http://www.fandango.com/movieblog/upcoming-3d-movies-green-lantern-alien-sequel-sucker-punch-591023.html) in regular old boring 2D. But Fox is footing the bill, so there's a better-than-good chance Scott will start with Cameron's technology and then take things even higher.
Sanctum 3D
Cameron himself revisits his love of diving and oceans in Sanctum (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881320/), scheduled for a February 4, 2011 release. A flash flood traps an underwater-caving expedition in a watery maze that they must explore to find an alternate exit. If AVATAR's 3D soared, Sanctum should inspire some sympathetic claustrophobia (start with the trailer (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1080400153/)), especially in 3D.
Green Hornet 3D
January 2011 will see the release of Green Hornet, which Collider (http://www.collider.com/) says will be converted to 3D on its way to theaters (http://www.collider.com/2010/04/22/green-hornet-release-date-now-january-11-2011-will-be-in-3d/). This trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMA-taGtfXs) makes it look like a fun blend of action and comedy, so here's hoping Seth Rogen, Jay Chou and Cameron Diaz take this legendary crimefighter successfully into the 21st century.
Horror 3D: Piranha 3D and Saw: The Final Chapter
If the January weather makes you want to stay home, though, you can pop a couple of new 3D horror releases into your 3D Blu-ray player: Piranha 3D (http://blog.boxofficespy.com/2010/11/piranha-3d-dvd-release-date-3d-blu-ray.html) (including the theatrical release plus behind-the-scenes featurettes and filmmaker commentary) and Saw: The Final Chapter (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=5582) (which features deleted scenes, music videos and a featurette called 52 Ways to Die).
Tintin 3D
All the way at the other end of 2011, slated for a December 28 theatrical release, isThe Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983193/), which takes the beloved Belgian comic-book character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin) into motion-captureland; he'll be played by Jamie Bell, with Daniel (James Bond) Craig and Andy (Gollum) Serkis also starring. No word yet on which lucky dog gets to play Snowy, but keeper-of-childhood-dreams Steven Spielberg directs in his first venture into 3D digital so you know the magic will be there—in fact, you can see some early production images right now (http://www.collider.com/2010/11/07/tintin-secret-of-the-unicorn-movie-images/).
