FRINGE in 3D! At least if co-creator J.J. Abrams has anything to say about it. Turns out, the auteur is on “Team TV Addict’ when it comes to the technology that Hollywood executives can’t seem to get enough of. “The thing that drives me crazy about 3-D is that when you put on the glasses, everything seems dim,” said Abrams during Entertainment Weekly’s Visionaries panel. “I’m not totally on board yet.” Can we get an “Amen Brotha!”
