Overview
Top Gun, the iconic 1986 Tony Scott movie starring Tom Cruise, is to be re-released in 3D.
The conversion from 2D is being done by Legend 3D, whose CEO Rob Hummel introduced a four-minute preview at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam earlier today (Sep 12).
He told the audience: "We think there is great potential for catalog titles in 3D, but studios have had trouble justifying the expense.
"As I understand it, they are planning to release it in 3D in early 2012, though I known they want to get Tony Scott’s approval before they go forward. I think Top Gun lends itself to 3D due to the aerial flight. You can have fun with 3D by bringing things off the screen if they are not attached to the edge of the screen."
James Cameron's Titanic is another film getting converted to 3D, releasing in cinemas on April 6, 2012.
