Warner Bros. has scuttled plans to release the new "Harry Potter" in 3D.
In a statement released Friday, the studio said that when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" arrives in theaters on Nov. 19, it will be in 2D, playing both conventional theaters and IMAX, but that "we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release 날짜 window."
The statement continued: "Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint 팬 who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey."
Director David Yates adds: "This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first."
Recent 2D-to-3D conversion have been controversial, with many 팬 and critics complaining about the look of the studio's "Clash of the Titans," which underwent a similar conversion and was released earlier this year.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" is still scheduled to be released in 2D and 3D on July 15th, 2011.
