I have pretty high hopes for Green Hornet despite some of the horror stories and the roller coaster speculation. But then the bad rumours about the studio not being impresed turned out to be a rumour and then it was debunked while the studio decided to make it 3d in post.
“I have a lot of ideas. I’m not supposed to talk about that because people have a lot of opinions, but I’m the one who knows what it really means. It’s a tool that I’m really excited to embrace and I have tons of ideas. There’s one thing that has never been done and I can’t wait to do. That can only be done in 3D. I’m really excited to know that the studio is going for it. It shows, really, that they believe in the film. If they wanted to dump us, they wouldn’t have done this.”
I agree that applying a costly treatment to a movie in post does show a fair amount of confidence. Otherwise phrases like “why would we put another dime against that shitstorm?” might have come up. Just sayin.
What my concern is about his statement is the “never been done” angle. What exactly is it that can only be dont in 3D that he put in the movie that has never been done, that will be effectively applied when the movie is being converted to 3d in post.
The movie is DONE, and then they are going to apply the 3D. So what’s so unique and magical with this that wont work unless it is 3d? And why would you put something in the movie that will only “work” with 3d when the movie wasn’t made with the intent of 3d.
My head hurts.
