George Lucas recently announced that he’ll be converting all six Star Wars movies to 3D. <\/a> The technology exists to allow filmmakers to take any film photographed in 2D and convert it to the new 3D process currently being showcased in movies theaters.<\/p>\n

This opens the possibility for many other classic movies to be converted to 3D.<\/p>\n

Now, isn’t it obvious which classic film needs to be converted to this new 3D process?\u00a0 I’ve dreamed of this for the last 30 years.\u00a0 And now, technology can make it possible.\u00a0 My wish of the last 30 years will finally be realized and I’m hoping the owners of the film see the same possibility.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about The Wizard Of Oz<\/em>.\u00a0 (BTW, check out the\u00a0 The Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition)<\/a>\"\")<\/p>\n

Hey, Hollywood here’s how you implement this new technology and reap millions of dollars:<\/p>\n

COLORIZE the beginning and the end of the film<\/strong>.\u00a0 These are the sequences originally shot in Sepia tone.\u00a0 Then, when Dorothy steps into Oz, turn on the 3D!<\/strong> Movie goers will experience the film in an entirely new way!\u00a0 And this method still retains the the film’s traditional roots of\u00a0 B&W\/sepia when Dorothy was in the real world, and color when she stepped into Oz (okay, okay, yeah, I know, she landed in Muchkinland.\u00a0 Details, details).\u00a0 Point is, the 3D effect keeps Oz as being presented in it’s fantasy\/dream world state. Adding color to the “bookends” of the film just update it a bit for audiences who like color.<\/p>\n

Both technologies exist.\u00a0 The Wizard of Oz already went through a major upgrade and restoration. So a pristine Ultra high definition print\/digital file exists. It’s just a matter of taking two more steps.\u00a0 Colorizing and 3D.<\/p>\n

Get to it, Hollywood.\u00a0 If you do this conversion, you’ll pack theaters with movie goers of all ages and set box office records for a re-release of a motion picture.<\/p>\n
