Oh yes, 3-D versions of Lord of the Rings & the Matrix at the 3-D IMAX, I would spend some money to see that Plus if I know Peter Jackson, he would add some special scenes to the Lord of the Rings......

Hollywood is preparing to re-release some past hits, including Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, in 3-D following the record-breaking success of Avatar.

Studio executives are drawing up schedules of popular films that will be “retro-fitted” with 3-D technology after the science fiction blockbuster, directed by James Cameron, last week became the second highest grossing movie of all time.

A 3-D version of Avatar has driven ticket sales to more than $1.14 billion (£700m) in just three weeks; only Titanic, Cameron’s 1997 epic, has made more money at the box office.

Rival studios had been waiting to see if Avatar took the 3-D experience — albeit using special glasses — beyond the popularity of animated tales such Monsters vs Aliens.

Probably spectacular I am sure; good sign if Peter Jackson is involved. I can't really watch 3D or Imax etc for too long though.. maybe an hour; makes my eyes feel tired.

Hell yes! I hope they do the LOTR in succession like they did on some days after Return of the King came out. I spent nearly 14 in the theater and it was friggen awesome!
