As far as i know it`s true,someone even posted pictures in the film forum of the full size mock-ups built for some scenes,but i can`t remember what they were listed under.

Hi Guys,
Its all true apparently.
There was some news item a day or so ago(don't quote me or I'll deny it)that he is currently testing a new camera system which may mean the whole movie could be filmed in 3D.
