Did James Cameron Push Lucas To 3-D?

Posted By Mike on October 20, 2010

According to an interview the Avatar director did with the New York Times, James Cameron says he encouraged George Lucas to go ahead with the upcoming Star Wars 3-D conversions. Here are a couple of the quotes provided by Digital Spy:

"George has been talking about this for a long time and it's finally coming to fruition. I've been encouraging him to do that for years. He did hang back for a while. I think he was waiting for there to be a wide enough install base in movie theatres, and now we're looking at the roll-out of 3D television."

"I think he's timed it wisely to a point where he can do the theatrical re-release and then roll right into a 3D DVD re-release. You don't want to create a glut of your own product. He had only just, a couple of years ago, finished his whole epic cycle of six films."
