Right, and that's my point. Cameron understood how to use 3D to enhance, and incorporated it from the get-go, while others will probably range from tacking it on after the fact, or overusing and throwing crap "out" of the screen at the audience all the time.

It was the lack of that tech--along with the motion capture tech and the ability to do realistic CGI--that delayed the movie by over a decade. He helped create new 3D technology with the WETA team, and spent a lot of time during production making sure the 3D glasses wouldn't hurt people's eyes. I think the irony is that, though he conceived of "Avatar" as a 3D film, to his mind that meant not making the 3D be too intrusive. He uses it to enhance the experience, and in a lot of ways I found it more powerful for just that reason. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 1, 2010 11:38:09 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010 I don't think that there has been any movies that have specifically been written for 3d format. Even Avatar just has a few shots that had extra "twinkles" in it in some parts and some wide shots. We probably won't see a true 3d movie until another year or two from now. If at all. I think the director of "The Science of Sleep" may be close to writing that way.

Even when they are, the overall effect may be iffy, but if they are converted in the middle of the process they're most certainly not going to be worth the extra dough... ----- Original Message ----- From: "brent wodehouse" < brent_wodeho...@thefence.us > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 1, 2010 2:59:54 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010 http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/movies+scheduled+come+2010/2971901/story.html 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010 By Brendan Kelly, The Gazette April 30, 2010 Shrek Forever After: May 21 Toy Story 3: June 18 The Last Airbender: July 2 Despicable Me: July 9 Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore: July 30 Step Up 3D: Aug. 6 Friday the 13th Part 2: Aug. 13 Piranha 3D: Aug. 27 Resident Evil: Afterlife: Sept. 10 Legends of the Guardians: Owls of Ga’hoole: Sept. 24 Alpha and Omega: Oct. 1 Jackass 3D: Oct. 15 Saw VII: Oct. 22 Megamind: Nov. 5 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1): Nov. 19 Tangled: Nov. 24 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Dec. 10 Tron Legacy: Dec. 17 Yogi Bear: Dec. 17 Gulliver’s Travels: Dec. 22 © Copyright (c) The Montreal Gazette -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
