Check out this interview from Forbes magazine regarding the direction of 3-D movies. Sounds like this WILL be the future of movies.

"You have an animated movie coming out this fall, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, in 3-D. Do you see that as the future of the industry?

Pascal: For sure. You're not going to see a lot of animated movies that aren't in 3-D any more. I think Jeffrey Katzenberg preached that and he was right.

Lynton: I didn't understand what he was talking about until I saw [DreamWorks Animation's ( DWA - news - people )] Monsters vs. Aliens. It's a very immersive experience. It's like seeing perspective for the first time. I think it is something different and terrific and a new group of directors will have to figure out how to do it.

What about for live action movies?

Pascal: I think James Cameron's new movie [Avatar] could change the world. I think everyone is in anticipation thinking it's going to be like Star Wars. It's going to change the way you consume entertainment. I don't know that it will ever be the way you see dramas, but I can't say anymore that it won't be.

Are you considering doing any live action movies in 3-D? What about Spider-Man 4?

Pascal: Could be.

Lynton: People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D and that's a very big deal. It's never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see Spider-Man than a romantic comedy."

I saw Monsters Vs Aliens in IMAX 3-D, and let me tell ya it rocked. I can't wait to see Transformers ROTF, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince after that. The 3-D format is amazing and I cant wait to see a live action movie in the new format, its like watching it in real life.

COOL!!! I still think it should have the SINISTER SIX in it!!! An it should be set a good few years after SPIDEY 3! Also the villains could've been around for a while, meaning don't have to worry too much on their origins lol, just flash backs! 3D though, i just thought, wont this make SPIDEY 4 more kid friendly???? That could be bad??? Especially for any LIZARD appearance??? An why wont it be 3D on DVD @ TYKO450 @ ????

Man I hate 3d movies, instead of trying to make a good movie all they do is worry about having the action come out of the screen, a cheep trick. I would rather have just a plain old good movie. Remember those guys, good movies?

yeah im not into gimmick movies, unless its something like Monsters vs Aliens. Could you imagine if this catches on?

"Chris nolan brings you the darkest tale of the caped crusader yet. We go deep into the mind of the maniac that is The Batman, and reveal the terrifying secrets of his most murderous villains. : GOTHAM KNIGHTS...now in 3d!"

@ Yohon Kalic. I love 3D movies. But I agree. No cheap tricks. I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth on DVD and it was NOTHING like it was in theaters. Still a good movie, but a whole different experience.

I think that it should be like Monsters vs. Aliens. There was only one cheap trick that I can recall and it was at the very beginning. Other than that. It went on just like a normal movie. And THAT'S what makes a good 3D movie. Not playing on the fact it's 3D, but just a normal movie.

@SGA

also, hopefully, this 3D trend will stay. Not like in the 50s and w/ Spy Kids 3D. Where it's a fad for a while, then everyone forgets about it.

Since they've revolutionized the process, this could be a whole new movie experience and could change the industry forever.

Now they gotta find a way to do what they do in theaters for home versions....

@SGA

Even if I had a 3d TV I don't think i would want my movies to be done in 3d, because the only real 3d parts are the lame things that come out of the screen. Now if they can come out with like some star trek holodeck stuff that would be great lol.

i agree cheap tricks they tried this in the late 80's when they outfitted king kong with 3d and put it on Tv, and what was that mess with the superbowl commericals i got the 3d glasses and didnt notice anything spectacular, just stick with IMAX, i think someone is stockpiled with too many 3d glasses and stock and is trying to create a buzz to move em...and read between the lines fellas did anyone catch this part ?

"People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D and that's a very big deal. It's never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see Spider-Man than a romantic comedy"

sounds like a money move to me, not a lets enhance movie goers experience.

Everyone should research the new Avatar movie that James Cameron is coming out with this year. He has been working on it since 1995. He had to wait so he could develop 3D technology both camera-wise and projector-wise. He is one of the people who has pushed this big time.
His vision is that soon, all movies will be in 3D. Just like switching to color in the 30's and 40's.
I think this is cool, because then they won't be gimmicky. It will just be how you see the movie in the theater. Everything from comedies to action to drama will just be filmed that way.
Disney re-released Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D a couple years ago and it was awesome. I really enjoyed it because it was not created for 3D, so no spears sticking out at you. It just gave a depth to the film and made it that much cooler.
I really hope that movies do move in this direction.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH was crap!!! It was made for the 3D not the 3D made for the film!!! The story was dire! Damn, i want my money back, got it for 8.99 in a sale lol with glasses! : ( heh heh : D ... Like i said @ PUMCHAVAS28 @ SPIDEY 4 could make SPIDEY 3 a masterpiece if they go too kid friendly! Heck, SPIDER-HAM could appear in it! Heh.

Seeing Kristin Dunst chest in 3-D would be cool, just not her face.

i hate 3d :( i hope they release a spiderman 4 in 3d but i hope they keep the normal version too...because i wouldnt mind seeing it in 3d but no normal version? no way because its too shifty because then all the action movies would be solely in 3d and all the others would be normal

I have never seen a 3D movie that actually looked 3D! Your just sat there with these stupid specs on thinking "why did I do this?". It doesn't pop out at you, it costs more and it's a total waste of time.

3-D is a cool concept and it definitely enhances the experience of certain film genre's. However, I think our comic movies aren't one of those genre's. I find in 3-D movies, they spend too much time trying to needlessly add scenes for more 3-D effect. Studio's already have enough trouble cramming so many years of comic history into 2 hours, I don't want to lose more substance in exchange for the 3-D.

@Howlett04: I felt the same as you buddy, until I saw, "My Bloody Valentine" in 3-D earlier this year. It was one of the best theatrical experiences I ever had. You don't get the old paper glasses with the red and blue lenses, instead, they are Dolby digital's with clear lenses. And bro, there was stuff coming out of the screen at me that I literally felt as though I could reach out 2 feet in front of my face to grab shit. I swear at times, I thought I was having acid flashbacks. Try one out when you get a chance, you won't be disappointed.

Howlett, seriously check out Monsters Vs Aliens, the new stuff works well. That being said, I do NOT see the future of movies being 3D. It's great for animated and as the occasional treat, but I certainly wouldn't want all my movies in 3D. Frankly, it still causes a little eye-strain and is annoying at times. I can also see it triggering seizures. Until you can project truly three dimensional movies where you don't have to wear special glasses, keep it as an occasional thing, please.

i recently got journey to the centre of the earth on blu ray to try it out. Story not so great but some really cool parts enhanced with 3D. Def recommend if you have a big tv an some smoke, though may go cross-eyed.

With all these recent 3D movies coming out i'd really love it if they remade starchaser legend of orin in live action. Would have to tweek a few things to stop lucus suing, but it has potential to be awesome, Bruce Campbell for Dagg
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 4/23/2009, 2:05 PM
THE ONLY 3D THAT WORKED FOR ME WAS CAPTAIN EO, IT WAS CLEANER THAN EVERY OTHER 3D MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN..WHY..I DUNNO..PLUS THE GLASSES WERENT THE STANDARD RED AND BLUE CRAP GLASSES. IF THEY DO IT IN 3D, THEY BETTER DO IT RIGHT.

Why not have it be a film movie and add in little affects like they did for The Dark Knight IMAX?
Evil1991
Evil1991 - 4/23/2009, 3:00 PM
Im not sure what to think of this. The dvd prbably wouln't be as good cause it will look black and white kind of because you can't really see anything beond anagliphs on your tv. Though I wouldn't mind seeing it 3d in theaters

The sad thing about grif's statement is it's 100% accurate.

My prediction is mostly 3-D with a 98% chance of sucking balls

"Danger Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!"

A full 3-D film is just a gimic used when the studio KNOWS the movie's gonna BLOW! Honestly, can anyone name ONE film in a compelte 3-D format that was DECENT? Betcha' can't...
