I love this little quote from Marc Webb, about the use of 3D in the movie:
"You notice, when a subject violates the edge of the screen, it corrupts the illusion. You notice that it's not really real. So we designed it so it would exist within the barriers of the screen and it’s not crossing out of the screen. That helps with that notion that it can come out at you. That's another one of those layers. The other thing is in the movie, you sit on it longer. That's the other part of letting that feel that it is coming into your space"
SOUNDS SO GREAT! He even talks about the help he got from James Cameron on the project. Nice! Remember those seeds from the holy spirits in Avatar? Seeing that on the big screen in 3D was so amazing and beautiful! It was like they really floated right in front of you! But as Webb mentions, the 3D illusion is a bit broken when it abruptly stops when getting to the edges of the screen. Webb gets that, and says here that that is exactly what they're avoiding with the 3D in ASM! He talks about those kind of 3D effects and that they will stay on screen longer, so the audience can really dwell in those moments. Combine all that with the use of all new 3D cameras and them pushing the 3D effect to new heights all at ones! OH YES! This is one freaken movie I'm actually looking forwards to seeing in 3D!!
