Martin Scorsese says even Precious should be in 3D | Movie News
If Martin Scorsese wasn't a genius filmmaker, this is about the time we'd usher him to an easy chair in the corner of the room saying, "Shhh grandpa, why don't you just sit, relax and watch 'Jeopardy'..." while running to the other room to get Shady Oaks rest home on the line. Turns out Scorsese says that even movies like PRECIOUS should be in 3D. Can I get an instant replay? Turns out Scorsese says that even movies like PRECIOUS should be in 3D.
OK Marty, you got yourself into this mess, dig yourself out. "We see in depth, for the most part. We go to the theater — it's in depth. Why couldn't a film like PRECIOUS be in 3-D? It should be." I see his point, to a certain degree, but I think as a society we're waaaay off from this line of thinking. 3D is still something audiences perceive as a gimmick reserved for specific kinds of movies. It's also something movie studios see as a gimmick that will bring them lots of extra money. I think the biggest part is that shooting in 3D is much more difficult than traditional filmmaking and, currently, near impossible for indie filmmakers.
So is Scorsese ready to put his money where his mouth is? To his credit he says he'd "love to do one" adding that, "It just seems natural that we'd be going in that direction...It's going to be something to look forward to."

Extra Tidbit: Rumors are that Scorsese is filming HUGO CABRET in 3D, which may explain his tubthumping.

And this latest 3D...
And this latest 3D resergence is a little more than a fad. Never in the past has a 3D film been the biggest grossing movie, never. It has been a fad in the past, it's moved on now. I can understand why some people don't like it or find it distracting. You think people unilaterally loved sound or colour the firs time they saw it, hell no. we accept it becuase we've always had it, we grew up on sound and colour, it's standard for us. When you introduce a new element it takes some time to get used to. Obviously audiences, for the most part, have no issue with 3D and in fact really like it.

The problem with 3D IMO is that when a director goes into that direction he/she forgets about the more important facts of a movie... STORY & CHARACTERS
This is why indie films will always be better.. because with less re$ource$, the people behind a movie put more...

This is why indie films will always be better.. because with less re$ource$, the people behind a movie put more effort (and more heart) into those areas.
To make my point.. watch "The Empire Strikes Back" in an old 20 inch B&W tv with mono-speakers and tell me if that stops it from being the SciFi classic that has always been...
Technology is good.. but only if it helps to improve an already good story.

And 3D is expensive now, but I wouldn't expect that to be the case in another 5-10 years.

But as far as every movie being in 3D, sorry Marty, but in the words of Jimmy Conway, "What's a matta' wit you?!?"
