One of the biggest trends in Hollywood these days is to go 3D, and it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest new franchises in Hollywood, that of Iron Man, is looking into adding depth (HA!) to their next flick.

Over at Ain’t It Cool News, they have the exclusive tidbit that Paramount & Marvel Studios are currently looking into converting Iron Man 2 into a 3D feature. Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland is currently being put together by taking 2D footage and enhancing it for 3D, so apparently this is now quite possible.  Furthermore, the rumor states, if the process is cheap/fast enough, they’ll look into re-releasing Iron Man 1 the same way, shortly before Iron Man 2 to get fans hyped.

Honestly, after partaking in the Avatar footage last month, I do see why so much of Hollywood is excited to go 3D. It DOES add a theater-only benefit to films.

However, and this is a big however (hence, italics), Avatar was natively shot in 3D. So was Coraline.  Those films made 3D feel important. Up was not, and the process felt unnecessary.  And I have an odd feeling so too would the next Shellhead adventure.

Either way, we’ll see what happens, and knowing me…yeah, I’d shell out the extra 3 bucks to see the movie in 3D.
