I would've seen it in 2D anyway since that's how he shot it.

I guess he doesn't have pull like Nolan.

Ya he hasn't made them over 3 billion dollars like Nolan has

The 3D announcement only bothers me that studios are annoying. It does nothing to temper my excitement or expectations for the film and I'll be saving a few dollars on that upcharge since I'll see it in 2D either way.

Why So Blu?

Looks like del Toro is getting some serious backing and support from the studio, therefore, he's changed his mind about converting the film to 3-D.


“What happened was, in the weeks and months following Comic-Con, what I asked from the studio was to agree to four points that I wanted to do. The more the ILM shots arrived, the more I realized that there were only a few shots that would miniaturize.

I asked the studio, number one, that we would not hyper-stereo-lize the thing. That we would not force 3D on the beauty shots. That we would keep the giant dimensions. They agreed. Number two, they agreed to something very unusual. Normally a conversion takes a few weeks. I asked to start it immediately so we could take the full 40 weeks to do the conversion. As an example, Titanic took about 50 weeks to convert.

The final thing that I asked that they agreed to, which was amazing, was that I asked them to give me an extra budget, which is considerable, to actually have ILM composite the shots that are CG native 3D. We're not giving elements. ILM is giving the composite in 3D from the get-go. That's a huge, huge element. Now I'm going to be involved in supervising it. What can I tell you? I changed my mind. I'm not running for office. I can do a Romney.”

I'm down with that since del Toro is still in control. Whatever it takes.

Supermallet

I'll still be seeing it in 2D.

Ditto, but it is nice to hear they're taking ample time to try doing it right.

Wait, is this thing going to be in IMAX? If so, then those screenings will almost certainly be 3D only.

Why So Blu?

Yep, 40 weeks. That's almost another year of work!

Solid Snake

Changes my tune. I'll most likely watch it in 2D but...if I hear good shit about it? Sure I'll go queer.

Solid Snake

3D, I mean.

RocShemp

If done well, I'd watch it in 3D.

Dude, it's just a movie. Any kind of life changing decision deserves a better reason than that.

Jules Winfield

I didn't know I had to go queer to see a movie in 3-D. I've seen plenty of 3-D movies and have stayed perfectly straight.

RichC2

If WB gets their wish, the 2D version will be the queer release.

RocShemp

I dunno. You tend to flap your wrists quite a bit.

Jules Winfield

I do not flap my wrists!*Jules puts his hands on his hips.*

Dr. DVD

I'm normally against 3D conversion, but if they are taking the time to do it right and create new FX specifically for it, then I might give it a shot.

Nice!

Cool poster.

Damn that's good.

What part of Screw 3D did Del Toro not understand?

2D for me and once again, Screw 3D.

Solid Snake

The part where the studio made him do it. Duh. He didn't film it in 3D. It's being converted to 3D now. With that conversion comes the rather healthy timetable that the studio has allowed for it. Also..fixing the effects to fit in 3D.

In other words? A proper conversion. They're giving him good control of it so far. If it was forced on him and he had no input? I'd be pissed cuz that fucks it all up. But..they're letting him on that team too. Yes. He didn't want 3D but...they're letting him work on the 3D. And he seems pretty happy w/ that.

I've yet to see a conversion that was good. I never saw Titanic...I hear that was pretty damn good. Soooooo that's the only 3D conversion I've read that's pretty damn good. Otherwise...all 3D conversion is shit...again..from what I've read.

islandclaws

The conversion for The Avengers was solid, unnecessary as it was.

If this gets good marks, maybe I'll see the 3D. I do trust GDT to do it right.

Solid Snake

The think that gets me trusting of it is that they're actually allowing them the time to do it. I hope it works out.
