What is the future of 3D films? Avatar made the water 3D, then blew everything out of it. Tron: Legacy, whilst being undeniably rubbish, made $44 million in its opening weekend in the US alone, and the list of franchises to have secured box office success continues to grow. So is the future of 3D films secure, or is this a pretty 3D flash in an otherwise 2D pan?

Why would you do that, Baz? Why?

James Cameron? Andrew Adamson? The circus? 3D that people will both love and complain about in equal measure?

Warner Bros. domestic distribution president Dan Fellman reports plans to re-release the complete Harry Potter franchise following Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 3D.

It seems that stupidity pays off in the long run. Smash a baseball bat into your crotch on camera for long enough – and hey presto – you’ll have your very own 3D movie a couple of years down the line. Jackass 3D is testament to that, but thankfully it’s funny as hell too.

The strange tale of a boy trapped on a boat with a Bengali tiger, a hyena, a zebra and an orangutan took the world by storm when it was published back in 2001. And – as with basically any book that causes a flurry of excitement – it was perhaps inevitable that the story would make the leap onto the big screen. Director Ang Lee has today confirmed that he’s cast unknown actor and Delhi highschooler Suraj Sharma as lead character Pi.

The heat is on to be the best gosh darn villain the world has ever seen. And when your competition is out nicking the Egyptian pyramids and other great wonders of the world, you know you’ve got to up your game. So Gru sorts himself out with the ultimate secret weapon in his grand master scheme; three orphan girls. And before you get the wrong idea, he doesn’t put them through an intensive training course and turn them into child soldiers, rather, he uses the power of cookie selling to get the ball a-rolling.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be screened in glorious 2D. Thank God for that.

In 2012 the Star Wars saga will return to our screens – this time in eye-assaulting 3D! Three dimensional Jar Jar? Meesa no likey!

Despicable Me is a kids film that may not have been made by Pixar but it could have been: The story of a supervillain struggling to control an army of minions and three orphaned girls will provide real heart and sardonic wit along with the zany animation slapstick.
