Hollywood's voyage to the Third Dimension is continuing apace with announced plans to re-release newly 3-D-ized versions of 2001, Star Wars, and The Passion of the Christ, but the first 3-D musical -- an all-star remake of The Sound of Music -- is proving to be more difficult than anticipated.

Hugh Jackman (the Captain), Beyonce (Maria) and Liza Minelli (the Baroness) remain attached to the project but over at Indiewire, Anne Thompson is reporting that Steven Spielberg is out, citing political differences with producer Scott Rudin over Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed Malibu wind farm, with Penny Marshall or Jonathan Demme waiting in the wings to direct.
