Will they release a Blu-ray 3D version?


With the new technology of 3D TV's and 3D Blu-ray, this film would look great! On the PlayStation Store they have released the Mad Magician with Vincent Price which looks stunning and Two Three Stooges 3D shorts also looking excellent. I hope they come out with this film along with others like Creature from the black lagoon, Creature Walks Amoung us, Dial M for Murder and the Wax Museum all in 3D Blu-ray. Anyone out there have any info on this?

I don't have any info, but I would buy these in a second (even though at present, I don't yet have 3D Bluray capabilities)

However, I don't believe "The Creature Walks Among Us" was filmed in 3D. "Revenge of the Creature" was.

I do have anylglyph 3D versions of "Creature From the Black Lagoon" and "It came From Outer Space" and although the films aren't the best recordings, the 3D often looks great. Obvious care was taken to ensure the 3D was used to great advantage without an overuse of the "in your face" stuff used in many films.

In this film the fireplace scene looks absolutely fantastic in 3D. So do the scenes where John Putnum goes into the crater. Another cool looking scene is the where Frank is on the telephone pole and George assists John on the ladder. And, from what I could tell, the stereo sound was original too.

According to All Movie Guide no 3D prints of this film are known to exist, however, the DVD I wave is obviously from a genuine 3D print. Even if the original it came from isn't perfect, It would still look a lot better in Bluray 3D then the tinted blue-red glasses I use now. I feel pretty sure that a decent 3D version of this movie and the two Creature movies could be produced on Bluray. I'm hoping that with recent surge in 3D popularity, the increasing availability of home 3D systems and the continuous popularity of these wonderful early science fiction films, we may soon see these on official 3D Bluray release.

Keep your Fingers Crossed!

Update:

Well, I now have 3D capabilities. Have Creature From the Black Lagoon, Dial "M" for Murder amd many newer 3D bluerays. overall very pleased. House of Wax is on pre-order and am waiting for more to be released. No news on It Came From Outer Space yet, but I feel it will get released as 3D seems like it will be sticking around.

Fingers still crossed!!
