Holding out for a 3D hero
If Hollywood wants to keep the 3D golden goose alive, it needs to hand the technology to film-makers with genuine innovation

Needless to say, It will likely alienate Coppola's detractors even more, but die-hard fans of Coppola or Portman's back should find plenty to love. »
