Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to arrive in 3D
Warner Bros have confirmed that the two film adaptations covering JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book will be converted into the 3D format. The work involved in converting the two films is likely to cost in excess of $10m with Warner Bros also having to factor in the added cost of providing distributors with 3D glasses.
This news has been expected following the recent success of James Cameron’s 3D-blockbuster Avatar.
The previous two Harry Potter movies had included scenes in 3D but this would be the first time an entire Harry Potter movie was released in 3D.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I hits cinemas on November 19, 2010 with Part II expected on July 15, 2011.
Warner Bros also announced that the Clash of the Titans release date has been delayed until April 2, 2010 so that it too can be converted into 3D.

Special Feature: Understanding the author of Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll, the elusive author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, has been the subject of enduring fascination for the past hundred years. The destruction of many major documents about his personal life by his descendants has only magnified the mystery. Jenny Woolf's biography, published to coincide with the release of the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, lays waste to the myths and suspicions that have obscured Carroll's reputation by placing him firmly in the context of his own time.
