Harry Potter Movie 7 Ditches 3D Formatting

     Warner Bros. has decided to release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, the seventh movie of its series, without its 3D format. It takes too long to create a 3D movie, thus ditching 3D would keep with the movie's schedule to be released to the public on  November 19th.

     This is a huge discouragement for 3D Harry Potter fans, but the 3D haters can be relieved. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book held a lot of fighting action between the wizards and witches, thus it is believed that 3D fight scenes in the movie would be interesting. The question is: Do fans really want the 3D formatting on Harry Potter movies to the point that they don't mind if their release dates are pushed back?

     The answer is simple: it is more important to follow through with schedules than to push back a release date. When a movie comes out without 3D format, it is not as discouraging as when a movie comes out a few months after the date that it was originally planned to be released. Pushing back a movie release date causes fans to become even more discouraged because they have been looking forward to this movie for a while now.Warner Bros. has made the right decision to discard the 3D and go with the schedule.
Luckily for 3D lovers, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is still planned to be released in 3D. Afterward, Warner Bros. may plan to create a 3D version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Here is the article for a more thorough description of the upcoming Harry Potter movie.

Matt Damon: Not Appearing in "The Bourne Legacy"

   Matt Damon will not be reappearing in the "The Bourne Legacy," the fourth movie in its series. Whenever actors switch out from their roles, especially in movies that are involved in a whole series, I tend to have to adjust to the new actors. Although the character is the same, actors portray characters in different ways. One actor may portray a character harsher than another actor does depending on how their views of the story and the character's situation are.
    It usually takes time for me to get used to new actors, such as the change of actors playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. The movie gets a bit strange because it is not the original actor acting as the character. There is a change in face and personality, causing me to have to sort of "adapt" to the situation. When the actor playing Malfoy was switched, I had to watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban about five more times before I grew adjust to having another actor play Malfoy.
   This is also the same with Dumbledore, especially because the voices changed from a timid, older sounding voice to a loud, mighty voice.
   When Matt Damon is switched, some Legacy fans may have to take a little time to accept the change and become used to having someone else play the main character for the rest of the series.
