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.
