MUMBAI: James Cameron‘s Titanic, will be released in 3D in 2012. The year will also see a 3D re-release of Star Wars.

It is reported that Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment were planning to re-release "Titanic" in April 2012. The exercise could put it out in theatres around the same time George Lucas‘s Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace releases in 3D.

Though the studio in charge of converting Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet‘s tragic love story into 3D has not yet been chosen, the cost is estimated to cost anywhere between10 to 15 million dollars, it is understood.

Plans to convert 2D films to 3D have come under heavy criticism in Hollywood after the release of "Clash of the Titans" in 3D ended in the flopping of the film.
