Have you ever wanted to see Scarlett Johansson's cleavage coming straight at you, so real you could touch it? Well you're in luck. Ain't It Cool is reporting that there is a very real possibility that IRON MAN 2 could be "upconverted" to 3D for a special release next year. They cite "very solid sources" who claim that a one-minute 3D test was produced and that it collectively knocked the socks off everyone who saw it. In fact it was so successful that Marvel and Paramount are now soliciting bids from three separate companies to examine the costs of converting the entire film to 3D. What's more, they're also looking into converting the original IRON MAN into 3D for a limited theatrical release some time before IRON MAN 2 hits theaters.

Before you get too excited know that there is also a very real chance this may not happen at all. Because it wasn't built into the original budget (as it was for, say, ALICE IN WONDERLAND), it could add a significant cost to an already significantly expensive movie. Granted IRON MAN 2 is going to make a shitload of cash but just because one-minute of footage was feasible (and looked awesome), doesn't mean it's prudent to adapt the entire movie. What it does mean though is that there is a high likelihood that IRON MAN 3 will be produced in 3D from the get-go, which could be a pretty awesome thing to behold.

Extra Tidbit: I had the pleasure of having Ms. Johansson's cleavage coming straight at me in an elevator in San Diego and I haven't been the same since.

I second X-Kid... where's the friggin' trailer for Iron Man 2? Why does the sequel seem hush-hush?

If Iron Man can possibly be more awesome, bring it on.

eh I'm with all of you.. if it works.. ok.. but I don't wanna waste my time if it does nothing for the movie.

And yes.. Scarlett Jo is probably gonna suck, even tho I want her to nail this role. She just doesn't do well when she has to play against character. (The Spirit... anyone??)

If it enhances the movie fine, if not, then leave out the 3D.

I was just gonna post something similar to X-KID. They didn't plan or shoot for 3D so they should just reserve that for IM3.

Having said that 3D boobs sound good, a prospect The Final Destination failed to capture.
"So that double-D broad that was gonna shoot the sex scene didn't show."
"Ah fuck. What now?"
"We found some A-cup chick off the street BUT she is...

"That'll have to do."

PS - Mike, you lucky bastard. :D

Well, I no longer want to watch the new 'Iron Man'. And feel ill. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- Ryan Reynolds, like Brad Pitt, consistently goes for women FAR below his potential.

IRON MAN 3D
I bet that one-minute 3D test was a shot of Scarlett, that would knock anybody's socks off!

I think they should save the whole 3D thing for a third IRON MAN this way they can actually plan the film to have really cool 3D shots and not just convert the sequel to 3D because it looks amazing.

All this news is good but where's the IRON MAN 2 trailer already!

I'm done with 3D.

It was fine for Monsters Vs. Aliens (which I saw in an IMAX theater), but it wasn't necessary for Up. Frankly, all it ends up doing is giving me a headache. If studios actually took the money they were going to waste on 3D and spent it on coming up with more original scripts and stories (instead of remaking every goddamn movie made) then I'd think the money was...

Until then, I'll stick to 2D thankyouverymuch.

3d has started to grow on me this last year and I think it adds depth to the movie, as long as, like pretony said, they don't do gay shit like pointing stuff at the cameras

*Sigh*
I don't care for 3D, it usually doesn't wow me. It is ESPECIALLY bad when they do things in the movie to show off the 3D...like somebody pointing a stick at the camera (although I don't think Jon Faverau would be stupid enough to do some cheap gimmick like that in Iron Man 2 (or 3). Ah well, either way I'll see the movie...
Did anybody know that a snunk is a robotic skunk?

Yes, but you forgot the part where it doesn't work at all because it doesn't have the same 3D projection technology the theater prints have, and even in 2D you still have to deal with them waving sticks and shit obnoxiously at the camera and looking retarded.

3D is kinda reserved for movies that may need an extra boost at the box office, or for movies for kids. ironman is neither of those.

this is seems like people are throwing a million ideas in the pot and see which ones fly and dont. which tells me that not much time was actually spent making the story and/or movie actually good. hopefully this is just a rumor.

So how will you watch it on home video then? Oh that's right - you wont be able to. You will be treated with cardboard glasses that don't work and the actors waving their googly hands at the screen and shouting 'BOOBIDY BOOBIDY BABBIDY!' every 10 seconds though. That'll be a treat. Thank god for 3D right?

Actually the cardboard 3D glasses work just fine. I own My Bloody Valentine 3D on DVD and it looks just as good as it did in theaters.
