Bond producers say no to going 3-D

NEW YORK (AP) - Celebrating his 50th birthday, James Bond has been learning some new tricks - but 3-D isn't one of them.

Producers of the spy franchise say they have no interest in a making a Bond film in 3-D.

The upcoming Skyfall is the first Bond film to be released since James Cameron's Avatar made 3-D a common and often lucrative practice for blockbusters.

"3-D is fantastic for the right material, but we're not sure Bond is the right way to go," said Skyfall producer Barbara Broccoli in a recent interview.
