Top Gun to Hit Theaters in 3D Next Year

According to THR, Legend 3D CEO Rob Hummel announced the re-release of the 1986 classic Top Gun in 3D, to premiere in theaters some time in 2012. Hummel was speaking at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam where he revealed a four-minute preview of the film, specifically the “Danger Zone” flight sequence.

He spoke in general about the potential for releasing classics in 3D, but noted that studios have had trouble justifying the expense in the past. Depending on the success of this and the 3D Titanic re-release we highlighted here, we may very well see a whole run of 3D-converted blockbuster classics hitting theaters in the next few years.

In the meantime, get excited for that shirtless volleyball scene to be all up in your face!
