UPDATE: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Confirmed To Be Released In 48FPS?

@Loki
8mm? HAH. You're kidding right?

This would be so amazing!!! Loved it in the Hobbit

@Gusto I wish they made Ender's Game a 3-film saga. lololol

Eventually all movies will be going to this. Makes sense. TV's are all HD now, why not movies?

Also, what the hell are those little blue and orange things that keep popping up in the "People couldn't believe it when..." ad area. First there was one ad with it, now they're multiplying.

I thought perhaps they'd got the message re:48fps films - when cinema-goers were leaving feeling giddy and nauseous. I guess not.

@Boyle360

It was either 8mm or Viewmaster. I saw them using these on the set



See? And the director seemed to know what he was doing

This should be pretty awesome!

I really dont know the difference...can anyone post comparison vids?

@ManofReal yeah I know. Man Of Steal is a shit movie, you don't say

If anyone has an iphone 5s and uses the slow-mo feature on the camera, when the video is playing in real time, thats kinda what the 48fps looks like. You cant really describe it

@Pheezmatic

Doubling the fps makes the movement more fluid, and in theory closer to reality. The big complaint is that it looks almost like video, or a soap opera.

As far as I know, they haven't released Hobbit on home video with 48 fps, so the only way to compare is in the theater. I haven't been paying attention to the bluray releases though, as I'm waiting for the trilogy set.

48fps is badass.

I'm... going to have to go ahead and call bullsh** on this one.

Because:
1) In order to shoot in "HFR", you have to completely over-exaggerate and over-saturate all the colors in your sets, costumes, etc otherwise they wash out. If you watched any of the Hobbit BTS videos, the actors faces were almost bright red. We've seen on the set photos from Days of Future Past, and they're all set up like a normal filmshoot.

2) Because in order to shoot in "HFR", you have to have such an insane amount of detail in everything or else it looks cheap or fake - The Hobbit could do it because they spent a small fortune having every costume remade, all the wigs were made from real hair, etc. It added a lot onto the budget and was generally considered a complete and total pain in the a** to work with by everyone but Peter Jackson and the studios who were trying to cram 48fps down our throats. With the budget Days has, the timeframe they have to shoot in, and the stuff we've already seen from their shoot? There's no way it's HFR.


HOWEVER - they might be shooting some scenes in super slow mo (they've already reported that all of the Quicksilver speed shots are being filmed at a much higher frame rate (likely to make it feel like the world around Quicksilver has slowed down while he remains at "normal speed" to the audience. AICN probably took a bunch of loose reports of them using high-speed cameras during the shoot and leapt to the conclusion that the film was being shot for 48fps release.


And, on a final note, 48fps is a terrible format. The loss of interframe motion blur diminishes the essential persistance of motion that film relies on and the result comes out looking "odd" or like video. It's a low tech solution to piracy and ticket sales, and that's why the studios are pushing for it, just like they did with 3D.

@Batmaniac Haha! Agreed! The awesomeness is definite!

Is the version that's shown on HBO now in 48fps format?

Hey, cool. Guess I'll just read the plot summary on Wikipedia, cause 48fps is shit.

NOO! I hated the Hobbit in that format! It looked like a video, not a movie
