Will "The Great Gatsby" Be Given the 3-D Treatment?

...according to director, Baz Luhrmann, it's a definite possibility.

While it has yet to be confirmed, an article posted by the Epoch Times has stated that Baz is a strong supporter of 3-D technology and feels that this technology can do "The Great Gatsby" much justice.

However, many fans who are excited about the new adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel are distraught and have taken to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction.

One user, @joshuajezioro, stated, "there's no need for films that aren't special-effects heavy to be in 3D. What does 3D lend to The Great Gatsby? Nothing." This quote sums up my feelings perfectly. Do we really need to see "The Great Gatsby" in 3-D? I read Fitzgerald's book at least three times and I saw the original movie just as many times. I'm a huge fan of both the book and the original movie, but there's nothing in either one that I feel can be enhanced in 3-D. Yes, "Avatar" was made great by 3-D technology, but for every Avatar there are three of the other Avatars, aka, "Avatar the Last Airbender", a movie that proved that 3-D technology isn't right for EVERY movie.

And what about Dicaprio's last movie, "Inception"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that movie was one of the highest grossing movies of the year, and I believe it was not done in 3-D. A 3-D adaption of "Inception" would have made sense based on the plot and some of the special effects, but it really didn't need it to succeed after all. "The Great Gatsby" doesn't need 3-D. Period.
