Seems that Nolan won’t be able to hold out on 3D any longer if WB has anything to say about it.
It appears that with the onset of 3D, WB is looking to double back on Inception, which dodged the 3D bullet and will be insisting that Batman 3 be filmed in 3D as well.
Warner Bros.’ 3D plans for Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Inception, as well as his planned sequel to The Dark Knight.
Inception is being considered for a 3D conversion, in part because of HBO’s plan to launch a new 3D on-demand channel early next year.
I know the small percentage of 3D nay sayers are very vocal so they sound like a big crowd, but this 3D thing is not a fad, or a fallback gimmick.
But 3D is a new technology this time around, and like the onset of ANY special effect used in film, this doesn’t appear to be a fad.
Yeah, you can stomp your feet around and get sent to bed without your supper screaming that you are going to boycott movies forever if they go 3D. Go enjoy your VHS.
An entire movie network is being launched to provide 3D TV owners with the option of watching movies in 3D, and while not every movie NEEDS to be in 3D, it seems that many effects heavy films are going that way. If this were a passing fad like the old red/blue 3D phase, they wouldn’t be investing this much money in upgrading cinemas, creating home theater technology, and now TV channels being offered in 3D for movies and sporting events.
The big question is, with Nolan writing his own ticket – will he tolerate it and adapt to the new technology, or resist and risk his studio relationships?
He isn’t God. He is just a man who has made some awesome movies.
