James Cameron wants to post-convert more of his old movies into 3D

Speaking at the launch of "Titanic" on 3D Blu-ray, Cameron revealed that his love for 3D has not changed and would happily convert all his older movies into 3D — unfortunately it just doesn't make economic sense.

"I would post-convert all my legacy titles in 3D. Our team is well versed in this now, but it really is a term of economics," said Cameron. "It cost us $18 million to post-convert "Titanic," so it really only works if you are going to do a full on re-release in cinemas. Fortunately for "Titanic" it was a financially successful re-release, so it justified the expenditure."

"I don't think we could justify the expenditure for post-converting "The Abyss," for example, but we might just be able to justify it for "Terminator 2." "Fortunately we don't have to do it for 'Avatar.'"

"Titanic" is available now on Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray, and will be bundled with selected Panasonic home-entertainment systems.
