Warner Bros was considering converting Lous Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans remake into a digital 3D release. Leterrier quickly debunked the rumor, claiming that they tried to converte the film to 3D but that the studio “just won’t have time” to meet the announced theatrical release.

Apperently Warner Bros ordered a few scenes from the film to be converted to 3D as a test and executives will screen that all the studios are hoping to jump on 3D bandwaggon in this record breaking post Avatar world.

The biggest problem that Clash of the Titans faces is that it was shot in 2D, while Avatar was initially helmed in 3D.

Clash of the Titans is remake of the 1981 mythical adventure film about the myth of Perseus. To win the right to marry his love (Andromeda) and fufill his destiny, Perseus must complete various quests and battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda.

The original film starred Laurence Olivier as the character of Zeus. The role in the new film is played by Liam Neeson, appearing opposite Sam Worthington as Perseus.

Should the conversion to 3D happen this will put Clash of the Titans up against another 3D film that comes out that weekend, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon.
