Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World trailer

June 9th 2010 06:53


Here's the official trailer for the new comic book vision from Edgar Wright. Will it be the most visually creative representation of a comic book put on screen? What do you think?

Well, actually this is from the comic... but what a crazy pic!

On the tide of Avatar

April 12th 2010 06:55


2010 looks like to be the year of 3D... conversion. After Avatar showed that a 3D motion picture can become a huge blockbuster (top grossing movie of all time), something happened that was, well, predictable. Studios jumped on the bandwagon, to churn out as many 3D movies as possible.

Unfortunately they seem to prefer the easy way, or the less expensive way, to be precise: 3D conversion, instead of native 3D. What this means is that a movie is converted to stereoscopic 3D in post production, and what the problem is: many of these conversion "victims" were not intended to BE in 3D. As a proper and fluid 3D experience needs planning (longer takes, different editing, less "Greengrassy" camera movement, plus planning for the stereospace, so that it won't cross your eyes too wildly), these adhoc conversions can become rather irritating to watch, so would one think. But think again.

Two large titles: Alice in Wonderland, and Clash of the Titans. The first was intended to be in 3D, but was still shot in 2D by Tim Burton. The second wasn't even considered to be in 3D, just after Avatar's success. The result is a mess, as perhaps 80 percent of the critics expressed. While Titans, has it's own standalone 2D faults, the 3D adds a whole another level of bismal. With Alice, it's evident that Burton left the 3D-thingy to the post production team, resulting in a awfully ghosting, and often blurry IMAX experience. You know, the best way to see it in 3D. Not this time.

So is the tide of Avatar an Epic wave or just a ripple? Well somewhat surprisingly it seems to be building up. The audience loves both movies, and pays the cash. Does this mean that they're blind to the difference between Avatar's 3D and Titans' for example? It's too early to tell. 3D is on the rise again, and perhaps more popular than ever. Maybe the larger audience needs to develop a kind of finesse to appreciate quality 3D.

Let's just hope that low quality 3D conversion won't pollute the scenery with Snappers, unless studios want an unsatisfied crowd leaving the beach before the real Epics arrive.

Clash of the Titans desperate to be in 3D?

February 15th 2010 07:49
Let's make it clear that it's IN 3D, aight?


I'm not saying it's a bad thing, since I love stereoscopic 3D, obviously, but some recent 3D conversion announcements seem to try to ride the tide of Avatar's success, that has much to do with 3D.

As you've probably already heard, Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans remake will get the 3D treatment this spring. Now will it be good? How much directorial influence will Leterrier have on the stereoscopy of the movie? Don't forget that all 3D is done in post by a conversion company, it was not planned like Avatar was from the scratch.

What's your opinion on the 3D-post-conversion-bandwagon? Is it a good thing, merely a transient phenomenon, or will it even overtake the native 3D planning and shooting of movies?

The image that already has a cult status among Avatar fans.


An awesome new featurette is up on Rottentomatoes.com about the Human technology used in Avatar, with lot's of new footage. If you want to remain unspoiled by the shear visual orgy, then don't click! Other than that, storywise it's not too spoiler heavy, so just gaze with eyes wide open

It's been quite a few days, but the Avatar trailer is finally here. So what do you think? Has it met your expectations, or perhaps raised them even higher? Is it a bit of letdown? Were you at the Avatar day

Sherlock Holmes trailer 2

July 16th 2009 06:28
Robert Downey Jr. as a fresh interpretation of Holmes


A slightly modified version of the Sherlock Holmes trailer is up, so if you haven't heard about this project it might be a pleasant surprise for you. Hopefully Guy Ritchie will return to his origins after some border-abismal results
