Hollywood is jumping on the 3D bandwagon– thanks to Avatar’s immense success and nine Oscar nominations – with plans for a new 3D feature announced every day. Some are being shot in three dimensions, while others, such as Clash of the Titans and Alice in Wonderland, are getting the post production conversion. But it’s all 3D, all the time.
“Blame me for that,” James Cameron told MTV’s Josh Horowitz in an interview, before expressing his opinion that Hollywood is getting it all wrong.
After saying that the Grammy telecast, which had a 3D Michael Jackson tribute “did it wrong” because they used the old red and blue model, Cameron went on to explain, “There’s an evolution, and people are starting to not accept inferior forms, which is good. But it’s typical of Hollywood, getting it wrong. We do a film that’s natively authored in 3D – it’s shot in 3D. So they assume from the success of that, that they can just turn movies into 3D, in 8 weeks, throw a switch on 3D and that’s gonna work somehow.”
When it comes to Clash of the Titans, the release date for which was pushed back to allow time for the conversion process, Cameron says, “[Avatar star Sam Worthington is] starring in the film, so I wish them all the success in the world but that’s just not the way to do it. If you wanna make a movie in 3D, make the movie in 3D. It should be a filmmaker-driven process and not a studio-driven process.”
