Right, which is why I kinda wish they'd take the time to get it right and do it completely from scratch, instead of using this conversion stuff. It seems though, from this article, that the director has access to true 3D cameras, but simply finds the process too cumbersome and complex?

I wish I understood why the conversion is better. The Cap movie director says shooting in 3D was horrible, hence the conversion route. But isn't it better to do it completely in 3D from the start, the way Cameron did? This half-a$$ system is more irritating than the nigh-irrational move to 3D itself. And dude, one thing from the article: David Tennant as a possible Bruce Banner? That would be freaking awesome, almost as much as Jackie Earle Haley in the role! I just don't see Nathan Filian--way too big and macho. ----- Original Message ----- From: "brent wodehouse" < brent_wodeho...@thefence.us > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 11:42:01 PM Subject: [scifinoir2] It's official: 'Thor' and 'Captain America' will be 3-D films Hero Complex For your inner fanboy It's official: 'Thor' and 'Captain America' will be 3-D films July 14, 2010 EXCLUSIVE FIRST-LOOK PHOTO: THE GODS OF"THOR" http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/07/thor-3d-captain-america-3d-comiccon-marvel-studios.html -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
