At the Producers Guild of America's annual Produced By conference in LA, X-Men: First Class producer Lauren Shuler Donner was a part of a panel where the discussion turned to 3D. Not going into a huge amount of detail, she did explain the reasons why the critically acclaimed latest installment of the mutant franchise wasn't converted into the format. (although the rushed production surely played a part?)

"We chose not to do 3D. I believe the movie itself tells you whether it should be 3D. And I believe there's a little too much 3D right now. I think, especially in this economy, parents don't always want to spend that extra money."


Starring James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr, Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkholme, Lucas Till as Alex Summers/Havok, Caleb Landry Jones as Sean Cassidy/Banshee, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, Oliver Platt as the Man in Black, Jason Flemyng as Azazel and Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggart, X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.

I don't for a second believe that's her actual opinion. lol. They just didn't have enough time to do it in 3D. That's the real reason.

Thats one thing Marvel needs to stop doing. Xmen wasn't a movie saturated in special effects and CGI unlike the majority of their other movies. This was about a story, not flash, bam, boom and hot dammit did it work well.

THE HONEST TRUTH IS THAT 3D IS GOOD FOR MOVIES THAT ARE MADE FOR 3D. AVATAR WAS MADE FOR 3D, EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWED JUST WAS JOINING THE BANDWAGON. NOBODY WANTS TO SHELL OUT MORE FOR A CONVERTED ONE BECAUSE CONVERTED MOVIES WITH 3D JUST DONT LOOK AS GOOD.... THEY'RE NOT MEANT FOR IT AND SIMPLY ARE CONVERTED TO GET MORE MONEY FROM YOU THAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

@NextHero08 and if Marvel were to do that, then people would complain about how Marvel won't spend the money to put enough special fx and CGI in all their films.

@GUNSMITH- I agree with you dude. I don't get why Thor and Cap are going to be in 3D. 3D was a waste on Thor, all my friends agreed. Cap has even less use for it since he doesn't have any actual super-powers unlike Thor. Cap would have as little use for 3D as Batman does technically.

Green Lantern is the only actual CBM I could see that was specifically MADE for 3D.

News flash, the series always was filled with special effects; c'mon, their mutants, of course there will be alot of cgi and special effect put into it.

And besides, if Marvel stops utilizing in special effects; than whats the point of them in making movies about their heroes? Their stories are good, but they need all that cgi to bring their characters to life.

IT'S A RECESSION, SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED, DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR RICH OR POOR,ITS NOT EVEN THE POINT..EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE A DOLLAR. NOT EVERYONE CAN BE SO CAREFREE WITH THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY, YOU GIVE US 3D, IT BETTER BE WORTH IT..MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRULY WATCHING IT IN 3D, I SEE PEOPLE SNEAK BURGER KING IN..HELL I BRING IS SODA BOUGHT FROM THE STORE BECAUSE THEY DON'T CHARGE YOU AS MUCH.

@Number21
They give you new glasses, each time, because you're supposed to return them to the theater after you're done using them. You're basically stealing 3D glasses. :D

Bartman87 - 6/4/2011, 8:10 PM
So when the movie theater folk say to return them I don't have? I don't think so you rent them from the theater you don't buy them, but anyway 3D is overrated unless it is filmed that way

So... I think what she meant to say was 'We werent sure if this movie was going to make enough of a profit to justify a 3-D conversion so we made it to 2-D. If it does well, we can always convert it to 3-D later and release it as a new product'...

GOOD I'M GLAD THEY DIDN'T DO 3D. 3D IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY EVER. USE THAT MONEY TO ACTUALLY MAKE SURE IT'S A GOOD MOVIE IN THE FIRST PLACE. 3D DOESN'T MAKE MOVIES GOOD IT JUST MAKES THEM HARDER TO WATCH.

Thank god there was no 3D. i didn't even like the 3D in Avatar. it was just to boost sales it didn't help the movie at all. honest the only movies i like in 3D are the ones like Up and other animated movies. movies with good stories dont need the silly tricks. X men 1st class greet movie.
