Incredible. It's getting "phenomenal response in test screenings," so their response is to a) delay it a year, and b) ruin it for the sake of a stupid fad that's already played out now, and will probably be a joke by 2011.

I don't mind the 3D (as long as it is good, but you won't even have to watch it in 3D on the DVD), but delaying another year after it has already been delayed just really sucks. Good news about the test screenings though. This delay is really harsh though.

A sane person would argue,
"getting phenomental test screening results" = "don't screw with it" + "get it out in front of paying audiences."

I haven't actually seen anything in 3D yet (my cinema viewing has taken a serious hit due to rising ticket prices and lack of time - jeez, I used to go three times a week!) so I find it hard to comment. However, I can't see me enjoying film in general as much with the distraction of 3D. Based on previous releases like Final Destination 3D, which certainly just seems like a way to inject life into a dead franchise, it seems a shame that they feel the need to add more 'gimmick factor' to a Whedon project.

I don't like 3D. It hurts my eyes and the experience takes me out of the movie. I feel like i'm completely aware of whats going on at all time and I never gert to relax and enjoy the feature.

I am a fan of 3D movies, so this could be pretty cool, but I hate the delay I would rather not watch in 3D and have the movie come out a lot sooner. All I know is, this 3D they are adding better be worth the wait!

I wouldn't mind 3D, but I DO NOT feel like waiting another year for it. D:<
Is it for sure that they are waiting another year?

So the movie tested well in the screenings and now we have to wait an entire year just so they can convert it to 3D? Do we really need a 3D version? And why does it take a year to do that?
Personally I hate 3D and I can't for the life of me figure out why so many movies have been shoving it down everyone's throats. You know what's going happen...this movie will be converted and then released just in time for this ridiculous 3D fad to die. Even if I liked the idea, I don't know if I'd be any happier having to wait.

This 3D bullshit is really getting ridiculous. And I thought the SAW type movies were the bottom of the barrel when it came to horror. Now it's just getting cheesy. I'm really pissed that they are making this 3D.

Updated the OP with posters, release date, synopsis, and other pertinent information.
So sad we have to wait ANOTHER year for this movie. It feels like we've been waiting a whole year already. So going to be worth it though. I hear the previews are off the chart positive, which lead to the studios converting it to 3-D, which lead to the postponement.
Oh well. At least we have Joss' new project announcement in the coming months. A guy like that can't stay idle for long.

Thanks for updating, Rebecca! *sigh* It's going to be a long wait, but I'm happy that the studio is putting so much into this. I hope it's madly successful!

I'm usually kinda anti-3D, but I could be okay with seeing something Whedon in 3D. waiting sucks, though. I'd prefer it be released sooner.

I have never been bothered about 3D and thought it was over-hyped until I went to see Avatar at my local cinema in 3D and wow it blew me away! I mean, it is a great film anyway, but the effects of it in 3D was absolutely amazing. It has changed my view and I now could see myself getting quite excited about seeing things in 3D, especially something by Joss!!
