Midway Goes 3-D

Warner Bros.has picked up Bruce C. McKenna's pitch for a 3-D film about the Battle of Midway reports Deadline.

The four-day battle took place six months after the December 1941 Attack on Pearl Harbor and is widely regarded as the most important naval battle in the Pacific during World War 2

During which the United States Navy decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia attack against Midway Atoll, sinking four of their aircraft carriers and inflicting damage from which the Japanese never recovered.

McKenna is expected to turn in a script in eight weeks for a film that will likely cost around $200 million, a slightly cheaper price than the cable mini-series "The Pacific" where McKenna served as co-executive producer and head writer

The battle has been portrayed on the big screen twice before - 1942's John Ford-directed "The Battle of Midway"and 1976's "Midway" starring legends Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda directed by Jack Smight

I have no problem with someone (re)making the film--But Jeebus!! DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN 3-D FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!
