2009 horror remakes/sequels, many 3-D!
The 2009 slate sure is filling up fast. Hopefully at least some of these will be decent.
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (remake in 3-D)
PIRANHA (remake in 3-D)
FINAL DESTINATION 4 in 3-D
THE WOLF MAN
FRIDAY THE 13TH
And the scariest of all.....STEP UP 3-D!

I'm curious about Friday the 13th. Jason has always been my favorite slasher, but having PD behind the project makes me nervous. I really hope they don't fuck it up like everything else they've done.
The Wolf Man could be awesome. I wish Romanek was still attached, but I think Johnston can pull it off.
Final Destination sounds badass. All of these flicks have been lots of fun, and one in 3-D should be no exception.
I trust Aja, so far, so Pirahna could turn out pretty good.
I could definitely do without a MBV remake, 3-D or not.

The new 3-D or the old 3-d?

Prom Night and Terror Train are 2 other remakes that are coming out this year but I don't think either is in 3-D.
Curious to see the Terror Train remake. I think the original is pretty good.

All the 3-D movies will be shot with Digital HD cameras and presented in digitally projected, polarized 3-D. Expect flat 2-D versions to be available as well.
BTW, the 3-D movies going back to the 1950's used polarized, clear glasses. The never ending myth that the older films were shown theatrically in the inferior red/cyan anaglyph format just won't go away. True, a few of them were downconverted to anaglyph for re-issue (such as CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON) but none of them were originally presented that way, and the anaglyph versions are awful.
The only thing "new" about recent 3-D is the fact that it is being shot and projected digitally, and that that allows much better clarity and control over the presentation.
Only a tiny handful of 3-D movies have ever used the anaglyph system theatrically, and most of those were fairly recent, such as SPY KIDS, and all of them were only *presented* in anaglyph, and have been shown in polarized form as well on a limited basis.
