Ridley Scott Working on Alien Prequels
In the process of promoting his upcoming film Robin Hood, Ridley Scott has revealed a few details on his plans for the prequel to Alien which he is currently working towards beginning production on. To pretty much no one's surprise the movie will be in 3D. It will be filmed with 3D cameras however and not converted in the post-production process. That is encouraging, as being shot in 3D is vastly preferable to being converted in the post-production process. The movie can also be made with 3...

The highest grossing movie of all-time has now also captured the title of fasting selling Blu-ray in history.

The Green Hornet Will Release in 3D
Just last week news leaked out citing a level of displeasure from Sony towards The Green Hornet. The movie has already been shot and apparently the studio is not happy with the overall tone as well as Seth Rogen in the lead role. Today Sony tweeted that the movie will be released in 3D. Some are already seeing this announcement in the same light as Clash of the Titans, which converted (poorly) but made a ton of money off the higher ticket sales.
