Author Topic: Bond 23 will be in 3D John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-12-2010 06:13 PM                     Link -------------------- The next instalment in the British spy movie franchise - which stars Daniel Craig as 007 - has been delayed because bosses reportedly want the movie to utilise new three-dimensional technology. An insider said: "The 23rd Bond movie has been put back a few months and that has given them the time to prepare to film it in 3D. Everyone involved in the project is really excited because it will take the franchise in a new direction." The as yet untitled project had already been delayed due to issues surrounding the impending sale of MGM Studios. Producer Michael G. Wilson previously said: "Our timeline's a little up in the air, so we have to be flexible. We just don't know enough about the situation to comment, but we know it's uncertain." Sam Mendes - who won an Oscar for his debut feature American Beauty - is also reportedly set to direct the film. Sara Keene, Mendes's publicist, confirmed he had met representatives of the Bond franchise to discuss the possibility of him helming the movie but is adamant nothing has been finalised. She said: "I can confirm that he has had a meeting, but Sam always has lots of projects on the table that he might direct next. Sam's method is to have a number of projects as possible next films and at some point confirm which film he's going to do."

Didn't he produce MOONRAKER? No Bond movie could be tackier than that. I don't care how many dimensions it's in. What's wrong with 3D? Didn't AVATAR just shatter all of those misconceptions?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-12-2010 11:34 PM                        What misconceptions?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 01-12-2010 11:43 PM                        quote: Joe Redifer What misconceptions?

All of those misconceptions that lead people to believe that 3D somehow inherently makes a movie worse.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-13-2010 02:07 AM                     Just that they gotta do something with the "multiplane" look on the screen being the results on live action 3D movies.. Even the opening sections of "AVATAR", that were in live action, looked so "layered" as if these sequences where shot using the multiplane animation process...only gimp that got me with "AVATAR" ..they really need to perfect this section of 3D photography so it would look more natural ...  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-13-2010 02:13 AM                        I just hope they pull the camera back from the action. I get annoyed by the tight camera work that is so popular in action movies right now. I have a hard time imagining how those same shots would look in 3D. I'm also nervous about the shaky cam techniques.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-13-2010 03:42 AM                        well it was just a matter of time, 3d the way of the the future ??? bond has tried to keep pace with technology cubby would have looked at all avenues to keep the bond $$$ rolling in. we need to ask the question is avatar doing so well because of 3d or because of the story or both , in my case the all want 3d not 2d so this could be a good move for the bond franchise.  |  IP: Logged Michael Barry Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 584 From: Sydney, NSW, Australia Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-13-2010 06:17 AM                     I hope they choose to shoot it in dual 35MM so that it matches the lush visual look that is the hallmark of all the Bond films. If they shoot on dual-video then when the movie is viewed in 2D it will have that slightly flat, video look that those cameras produce. That won't really be keeping the franchise in line visually.  |  IP: Logged Elise Brandt Expert Film Handler Posts: 160 From: Kuusankoski, FIN/ Kouvola, Finland Registered: Dec 2009 posted 01-13-2010 08:39 AM                     I don't know exactly what it is that makes my hackles rise thinking of Bond in 3D. I love 3D, I do... but... maybe it's the tight camerawork mentioned, I dread seeing that in 3D it's hard enough to watch as it is. It will take some skill, lots of it in fact, to get the feeling of seriously doing a film in 3D and not just adding the 3D as an afterthought. I can't explain it, sorry. Just feels... wrong.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-13-2010 10:04 AM                     Theoretically speaking, shouldn't this movie be devoid of the visual problems associated with QUANTUM OF SOLACE? Since CASINO ROYALE didn't look like that, it seems relatively safe to assume that this is something Marc Forster brought to the table. Now that he's gone and Mendes is here, maybe it'll look more like ROAD TO PERDITION than the last movie.  |  IP: Logged
