Iron Man 2 Iron Man 2 Might be in IMAX 3D!

[Troy_Parker]

yeah..yeah...YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!

 

[Lauryn2000]

iron man and the dark knight are the ying and yang of superhero movies, both polar opposites and very sucessful...

I don't think superherofilms should be darker than the dark knight or lighter than iron man, they should all sit in the middle

Couldn't have said that better myself...

AICN Exclusive: IRON MAN 2 in 3D?!?! & IRON MAN 1 too?!?!?

Hey folks, Harry here with a story of geekgasmic fury bridled with awesome euphoria! One birdy tweeted a secret tweet that put me on the scent - and then I found other birdies to sing the same tune. So I can state that the following is absolutely true, though the final results have yet to be heard.

Right now, there is a 1 minute demo of IRON MAN 2 converted to high quality digital 3D. I'm told this one minute is totally like Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 WEEKS. HOT! Crazy Hot! Right now the Suits at Marvel & Paramount & now also Disney are considering this 1 minute.

At the same time that this is happening, they are fishing for bids with 3 different companies to see what the cost and time it would take to convert IRON MAN 2 to a complete 3D film. This same process is being done to Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND - but if this comes to pass. What will this mean for the rest of Marvel's slate leading to THE AVENGERS? Will THOR & CAPTAIN AMERICA also go through this process? Or will they be shot from the get go in 3D?

I hope so. I love 3D. The tests I've seen of this process are just jaw-dropping. 3D is an experience to experience in movie theaters - and when the high quality progressive frame 3D Blu-Rays hit that will finally put the nail in the coffin of those dreadful anaglyph relics of the 50s... You'll have a home entertainment experience to match.

Watching Iron Man, Whiplash, War Machine and Black Widow in 3D would be an unbelievable experience next summer - and my little birdy tells me there's a chance they'll actually pony up to convert IRON MAN for a reissue in advance of IRON MAN 2's summer release.

I have very solid sources on this. And remember, you heard it here first my friends! Are you ready for the armored avenger in 3D? I am.

I wonder if they're considering the 3-d move because of the Disney aquisition and/or the fact that 3-d really has helped two movies this year. Ice Age 3 performed exceptionally well because of the 3-d while Final Destination in 3-d showed that movies can still have an audience , even if they're shown in the dumping period.

Disney is a studio that is really pushing for the 3-d. Unlike other studio that are constantly considering whether or not to convert their movies in 3-d , Disney has gone ahead . Up was shown in 3-d and i think all future PIXAR movies will now be shown in 3-d. Tr2n .

Whatever the reason is , if they can manage to show the entire movie in 3-d as oppposed to just select scenes in IMAX 3-D , they'll stand to make an enormous amount of money .

 

[dark_b]

3D conversion?
its not really 3D. they are faking it.

reason for this? 3D is getting more popular and 3D tickets are more expensive. so what does this mean? it means that people will pay more money. a smart move. but to bad it wont be real stereo.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

^Haha, kind of like these fake IMAX theaters that are popping up? Studios are trying to find new ways to milk people out of their money. They believe the traditional release is not enough since people have exceptional home theaters now that some are just content with waiting for the DVD release of the film.

So now directors and studios are relying on IMAX and 3D and IMAX 3D. I like IMAX but I can do without 3D. Feels too gimmicky. Just make a damn good movie and I will be there.

 

[Sarg92]

Well it is too late to have Iron Man or Iron Man 2 in stereoscopic 3D because neither were shot in 3D so 3D conversion is the only way to go. But if it is successful then I hope that Marvel/Disney make all future films in 3D, meaning that they are shot in native 3D rather than a conversion.

 

[Brian2887]

3D is a fad. A gimmick. I'm really, really sick of every damn movie coming out in 3D..

 

[Troy_Parker]

Iron Man's HUD in 3D would, quite literally, make me splooge.







Everywhere.

So far, the only movie I've seen where the 3D really added to the experience was Coraline. I thought it was inventive that, rather than using the 3D to make things pop out at you, they used it to add depth to the world of the movie, making viewing the film a more immersive experience.

 

[Doctor Jones]

This is stupid. It's just something to add to get people watching. It's only a stupid gimmick that will last for so long. In years it will seem outdated again anyway. What matters is the film itself, and no doubt it's gonna make a **** load of money anyway, so why add a cheap gimmick?

I think it's a sound idea. 3D seems to equal big money right now. So why not get an extra cash boost with an added 3D gimmick in cinemas? It won't date the film, because the film wasn't filmed in 3D, it wasn't structured around 3D set-pieces. So by the time it comes out on DVD it will have cast the 3D element aside. It's just something extra to the cinema experience.

Favraue was invited by Cameron to watch avatar scenes in 3D. he told Marvel about 3D .

the problem is that when they started doing IM2 Ice Age 3 didnt brake every record . and then Avatar came to comic -con and avatar day. and now Marvel realized that it works and it makes more money.

only last month i found out that G-Force was a 3D converted movie .

 

[dark_b]

when will peopel realize that they are really trying with 3D and not make it like a gimmick. dont be ''cliche'' and always complain how 3D is always the same.it is not anymore. 3D works a lot better with digital.

if you dont like it i respect it............but dont talk like that if you dont have all the information.

 

[Immortalfire]

Too bad I can't see 3D

i agree with this. it takes waaaay to much time and money. when will they do this? this movie needs to be ready in may. the ILM shots need to be first ready . and then converting it o 3D?

 

[Figs]

Personally I'm getting tired of 3D. Every once in awhile for something dumb like My Bloody Valentine or that Journey to the Center of the Earth remake is ok but aside from Avatar which is pushing the technology of it into new areas. I don't want to have to wear 3D glasses while watching IM2 on Imax. If it does go 3D for the Imax, sadly I will just be seeing it on a normal screen.

 

[dark_b]

Figs

so they wouldnt realese a 2D Imax version? that would be wrong.

No, they wouldn't. They're not going to have a bunch of options like that for viewers. Where certain showtimes on Imax are in 3D and the rest are normal 2D. It's going to be all or nothing.

When the last two Harry Potter films were on Imax in 3D, there were no showings that were just regular viewings. If you wanted that you needed to go see it on a regular sized screen. Hence why they promote this stuff as "Imax 3D".

Dude , your way too negative.
Seriously. If the guys at Marvel and Disney agree with this , they'll find a way to finish everything in time. You don't come with an idea mid-production knowing fully well if something can be done in time or not.
If it worked out for SUperman Returns and Harry Potter and the Orer Of the Phoenix , it can work out for Iron Man.


Besides i think you guys didn't read the article of Retro very well.

They're going 3-d for all formats. Reg screens AND IMAX.

 

[Spider-Vader]

This sounds cool. I'm sort of sick of this 3-D crap, but a good adult film (Up was 3-D so I can't say all 3-D movies are bad) will make me like it.

 

[Crook]

No, they wouldn't. They're not going to have a bunch of options like that for viewers. Where certain showtimes on Imax are in 3D and the rest are normal 2D. It's going to be all or nothing.

Except not every IMAX has 3D screens implemented. So they will be "forced" to use standard 2D.

but they didnt do it for the whole movie.

negative? there will be some rushing. at ILM or at converting the 3D. there is no why to make both quality CGI and qualityt 3D for may realese.

 

[Figs]

I thought it was standard with all real Imax screens?

Up was like that too.

An IMAX release would be great, I don't necessarily need the 3D for this.
