First, I think he needs to hedge his bet that 3D is the savior. While he claims that 3D is popular because of box office receipts, fact is that most of the showings of a new film are in 3D. I also question how much those people who bought 3D-capable TVs are actually using it for watching 3D movies.
Aside from that tho, I did see Green Hornet and I thought the conversion work they did on that film was decent. Some of the 3D effects would have been done in post anyways (There was a scene with multiple shots showing them mobilizeing that was enhanced with 3D effects.)
I'm sure there are going to be guidelines as far as shooting with 3D in mind. From my understanding, that was a problem with Clash, that it really was a poor subject for a conversion. Dark and with quick edits that doesn't let the eye adjust.
That being said, Hornet was the first live-action film that I saw that has been in 3D. The bulk have been animated films, where doing things in 3D is going to be easy.
BTW, I know that the Ghost In The Shell: SAC movie "Solid State Society" is getting the 3D treatment and is getting released to theaters. (It wasn't released theatrically the first time around.)
