"3-D conversion" - so what does that mean? Does anyone know?
How much phtography has been done? Are they going to reshoot completely? What?

Let's try this again - see what happens; apparently my earlier commenbt didn't post.
"3-D conversion"? Huh? Does anyone know what they mean by that?
How much photography has been done ? Must have been a fair amount, since the original planned release is just three months away.
So, ae they going to reshoot? Or are they going to do something to existing film?
Does anyone out there know?

From what I hear, there's a company that does 3-D conversions of digitally-shot films. No more photography required, but a lot of processing.

A freind who has connections in the movie/FX business did some inquiries - he says a friend at ILM says that it doesn't do a very good job ... but that Lucas is interested.
(This is the same acquaintance who was telling me just a few days ago - on the basis of his friend at ILM - that it was flatly impossible to convert a film shot flat to 3-D. Clarke's First Law, huh?)
