Author Topic: HARRY POTTER 7.2 3D Trailers. David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-23-2011 01:23 AM                     Hi Everyone, Has anyone seen or run a 3D HP7.2 trailer, all I get get Downunder are 2D versions. I have 3D trailers for everything imaginable but HP7.2. Wouldn't WB want a 3D trailer playing with titles such as POC4 and KFP2 ? Are we heading for a repeat of last year ? Cheers, David.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-23-2011 08:14 AM                     7.2??  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-23-2011 09:21 AM                    Were there 3D trailers for 7.1? Hopefully they will ditch the 3D on 7.2 also. They blew it by not filming it in 3D so no sense in making it worse by faking it. I thought they figured that out when they dropped it with 7.1.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-23-2011 12:59 PM                     quote: Mark J.

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-23-2011 07:02 PM                     Certainly here they've always been referred to in the industry as 7.1 and 7.2. David, have Roadshow said anything to you about it?  |  IP: Logged Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 05-23-2011 10:30 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley I thought everyone in the movie business knew that HP7 was in two parts, so using 7.1 and 7.2 makes perfect sense and has been in use since before the first part even came out I agree.  |  IP: Logged David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-23-2011 11:16 PM                     Hi Everyone, Sorry, our local distributor Roadshow Films refers to Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows part 2 as HP7.2. Again sorry for the confusion. It just seems odd that you cannot get a 3D trailer yet, only 2D, and further more the 2D trailer says on the end...in 3D and also in selected 2D theaters. Why have a 2D trailer advertising a 3D film ? Cheers, David.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-24-2011 12:24 AM                        You can play a 2D trailer with any feature, but a 3D trailer is only good with a 3D feature.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-24-2011 01:17 AM                     quote: David Stone Why have a 2D trailer advertising a 3D film ?

While I agree with your hope that HP7b (how Warner refers to it internally) is not released in 3D, I do need to correct part of your statement. Warner did NOT drop 3D from HP7a because of quality issues. It was all about time. The decided on a 3D conversion way to late in production to be able to get it done in time, though everyone tried. I think that studio execs sometimes don't realize that just throwing more money at something doesn't mean it can happen. Studio Honcho: Here's another 20 zillion dollars. We want to make this 3D. FX Guy: You want to do a conversion? By when? Honcho: The release date is in 90 days. Guy: Can't do it. we need at least 120 days. Much of the work is linear and can't be paralleled. Honcho: But I just said I would give you another 20 zillion dollars.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-25-2011 09:33 PM                        There are two 3-D movies coming up that I would rather play in 2-D for different reasons: Cars 2 - because a lot of the patrons will be kids, who will not wear the glasses, leading the parents to think they wasted money (even though the kids will still be just as entertained with or without the glasses) Harry Potter 7b.2 or whatever - because it's such a dark film to start with, I feel like a lot of the detail will be lost with 3D.  |  IP: Logged
