How much films could they make from it; 5 ? 10 ? ;)
Of course in 3D !
I am curious when we will hear the 3D restored version of The Lord of The Rings ? :) Did anyone ?
Unfortunately not (at least me!).
Did anyone see some examples for 2D movies transferred into 3D in postwork? I can't imagine that the result is really as convincing as the real thing.
nope...

No, but I have seen an example of a 3D, rotund man transferred into the body of another... http://www.jc-news.com/gfx/PETER-JACKSON-BEFORE-AND-AFTER-AINDREAS-DOT-COM.png

It depends i think how much they are willing to spend=work on it.
But in theory it can not be the same as directly filming in 3D. If you ask me of course.
...
Giving the work there is maybe a point where it doesn't matter so much anymore for most of the viewers .
But i don't know where this point is , or how to define it . Anyone ?

I haven't seen any but they can't be very good by definition because every real shot remains 2D. Only the CGI can be re-rendered as 3D material and therefore have a 3D effect. Besides, there are some rules to make 3D really work for the viewer. Take Clash of Titans for example. Merely the CGI is 3D and even that wasn't planned during production so the viewer gains almost nothing from it.

Unless your sight is perfect you won't manage to match the two images. A couple of weeks ago, in a mall near were I live, they were showing a 3D TV screen. I donned those silly glasses and... it was even worse than looking directly at the screen. If this 3D stuff becomes widespread, I will stop going to the movies.

nope...that's not how they do it...
the CG isn't re-rendered as stereoscopic...the whole final film is processed to create the two different images...it's a hack and an expensive one.
Well, I stand corrected then. :)
Just had a short glance how they do it since I couldn't imagine how that is possible, but it makes sense. Obviously they virtually rebuild every scene to get depth information, mask important objects that shall become three-dimensional and generate an off-set image. Is that the standard way or just one way to do it?
Video: How IMAX Wizards Convert Harry Potter to 3-D

Nothing we don't know , but the first video i saw about this method on a blockbuster .
Bad news!
" Guillermo del Toro drops out of directing 'The Hobbit' "
http://news-briefs.ew.com/2010/05/30/guillermo-del-toro-drops-hobbit/
Sigh.... :'(
that could be a "political" thing also. Torro is no fan of 3D, but studios are. So perhaps he was "convinced" to leave. But thats just paranoid speculation ;-)
I'm not sure I want to see the influence of Hellboy 2 on The Hobbit... of course Pan's Labyrinth was quite a bit better...
- Oshyan
I thought this could have been very interesting. I really like the visual style from del Torro, I liked Pan´s Labyrinth and also Hellboy a lot. And storywise I also liked both, one nice popcorn flic and one with more "impact".
Ok, I'll take it and sacrifice 3 years in stinky New Zealand :) Talk about a dream job. Still think Jackson should just get to it.

The last news hints for such a possibility . I didn't post them because nothing is certain for now.
I think most of you know this already .
