Very informative, thank you. In short, to me, all this effort is being driven by studio's trying to justify cinema ticket prices by offering big films shot for 3D. Even though the most profitable and successful films have always been 2D and in general movie watchers avoid 3D! In addition, perhaps Jackson would rather be known for pioneering work than making yet another good film. Given the choice in aesthetic for film has been driven by culture rather than technology for much of its 103 years, the parties concerned are all taking a big risk...
