/Film: Iron Man 2 in 3D? Favreau Wants to Shoot Scenes in IMAX!

  • Dan · 1 year ago
    I would like to see Iron Man 2 in IMAX, but not 3-D. I don't think it'll add enough of pizazz to the movie to justify a 3-D showing.

    And, in my opinion, every time I hear that a movie is going to be shown in 3-D, I always think that it cheapens the movie a little bit. It automatically gets filed away in my mind as "too cartoony" or as trying to hard to be too gimmicky.

    i hate 3D. it gives me a headache. every time. whichever process they use. dont like it. bad idea.

    No 3-D... but IMAX...
    After TDK, it should be a given.

    Hopefully in the near future an entire full leangth feature will be shot entirely on IMAX.
    Batman 3 perhaps?

    i feel the same as the above comments, in that every time i hear 3D i think gimmick.

    i wasn't the biggest fan of ironman to begin with, so i'd like to see fav focus on a risky script, rather than scramble to see what tricks and gimmicks he can pull out, to top the first film. in fact, this announcement pre-emptively makes me roll my eyes.

    i've only seen an i-max camera operated once, and like nolan said, the noise factor makes intimate/dialogue driven scenes very difficult. so until technology fixes that problem, i'm not sure if a full film is in our near future, but man-o-man was the i-max remarkable in TDK.

    No 3-D, no IMAX... Just smell-o-vision.

    No 3-D but IMAX would be cool. When I think of a movie in 3-D it makes me think of a cheap horror flick, headaches, and not knowing what the heck is going on in the movie.

    IMAX - YES!!!!
    3D - NO!
  • Melvin · 1 year ago
    Don't like 3-D! And I would love to see some IMAX scenes or filming the whole movie with IMAX cameras... I loved the scenes in TDK!!

    This will be great, the more blockbusters using IMAX, the more economically viable it will become and maybe there will follow some breakthroughs in the technology to increase length and shorten load times.

    I've never seen any movie and thought having it in 3D would improve it, always feels forced and distracting. Hope Favreau is trying to bite off too much and it feels gimmicky and doesn't add to the film.
  • Indiefilm · 1 year ago
    IMAX all the way.

    3-D died in the 1980s with movies like Friday the 13th Part 3 and Jaws 3-D.

    Marvel tries too hard.....
  • Ryan Parker · 1 year ago
    why not shoot some scenes in IMAX 3d, that would give the audience a choice to see it in 3d or not, and also give an even BIGGER imax experience.
  • Cody · 1 year ago
    I prefer IMAX, no 3-D.
  • JP Dyno · 1 year ago
    Imax would be great.
    I still think 3d is a gimmick. Ill never pay to go see a movie where i have to put another pair of glasses over the top of my glasses.
  • sean coates · 1 year ago
    3D is too Disneyland, and as JP said "gimmicky" keep it Imax just like the Dark Knight did.
  • mkpmedia · 1 year ago
    I love 3D but a lot of people don't - maybe you can choose a 3D or non 3D show?

    They'll figure it out, THEY'RE the studio...
  • Christopher Marc · 1 year ago
    IMAX cameras are going to be used more often after the success of TDK....but IMAX theaters in general are becoming more popular I could see the theaters becoming more local...3D on the other hand seems like a fad, I could be wrong Avatar could change my thinking on this...but these 3D movies have been limited to concert and kid flicks, I've heard Beouwolf was excellent in 3D but I thought that movie would have worked better as live-action so I couldn't enjoy it ...watching the mouths and facial expressions not matching the voice overs was a distraction...if a 300 million budget Cameron film can't change the industry nothing will....
  • Jojo · 1 year ago
    fuck u guys. 3D rocks. James Cameron will prove it with AVATAR.
  • Logan · 1 year ago
    I am all for some of the scenes to be shot in IMAX. But I agree with most here, 3-D is not the way to go. It's childish and degrades the movie in my opinion. I refused to see Spy Kids when I was younger and I refused to see Journey to the Center of the Earth(also b/c Brandon Fraser sucks). If they have the SD version as well as 3D, then fine. But I think advancing IMAX technology for easier workflow in the field so that more films can adapt it is a higher priority. Not some stupid 3D glasses and a Disney movie I can get out of a cereal box.
  • optimusprime · 1 year ago
    IMAX is better, but I still like 3D.
  • Holy Shit! (Matt) · 1 year ago
    I'm not against IMAX. But to have to travel another 2 1/2 hrs to see a movie that's must see is painful.
  • Whiskey · 1 year ago
    3D is good for animated films, with live action it just feels cheap.
    But I can see some IMAX flyng scenes shot, stuff to establish the scope of what Stark is going into. I think actual fast paced action might be a bit much for people to take without getting sick.
  • South Texas Terror · 1 year ago
    IMAX makes everything better. 3D and Imax would be crazy but if Im gonna pay extra for the ticket I want better 3D glasses. I hate those flat plastic ones
  • Joe · 1 year ago
    I would love to see Iron Man 2 in IMAX.

    3-D, not so much.
  • Paige · 1 year ago
    i really don't think an iron man two will be good at all, but i didn't really like the first one all that much either.
    and i hate 3D, those glasses are so annoying.
  • Superman · 1 year ago
    Yay let's see cliche villains and mediocre performances EVEN BIGGER!!!
  • Goobity · 1 year ago
    The quotes say what Favreau would 'love to' do. Not what will ultimately be done. There's not even a script yet, folks. These are speculations.
  • Sockin · 1 year ago
    Please please please no 3D.
  • Brandon · 1 year ago
    I had no problems with beowulf in 3D, but I really don't care for it.

    IMAX - YES, it's beautiful.
  • Iron Matt · 1 year ago
    @Superman

    Zing!

    Ha! Good one Iron Matt. Zing!

    Why would anyone used IMAX? Nolan and Favreau are fools that are going to end up costing their studios costly $$$ and time. They can shoot the same scenes with high resolution digital cameras and blow it up to a screen one hundred times the size of IMAX, why waste money that could be spent on better ADR or post production or something on modifying cameras?
  • Kip Mooney · 1 year ago
    3-D no, IMAX hells yeah!

    "They can shoot the same scenes with high resolution digital cameras and blow it up to a screen one hundred times the size of IMAX, why waste money that could be spent on better ADR or post production or something on modifying cameras?"

    You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

    Hear hear Captain Awesome!
  • Fir3Wolf · 1 year ago
    3-D would be interesting but I think they should just focus on filming parts using the IMAX cameras instead since like TDK it will look amazing and would cause me to see it twice if I don't catch it in IMAX the first time around.
  • Joe · 1 year ago
    IMAX definitely, 3D maybe. I think maybe if some bits had a little light 3D to make things "pop," that might be a good way to go, and to maybe only offer 3D to select theaters, or only IMAX theaters, or to have both showing and be able to choose which one you want to see.
  • Iron Matt · 1 year ago
    Captain Awesome, you just made my day.
  • 790 · 1 year ago
    IMAX and 3D are both gimmicks.
    Can't believe Fav's thinks Iron Man needs this crap!
    I guess I was right about fav's. He got lucky with Iron Man,,,, now see Fav's for the real chump he is.

    3D,,,, piss off Jojo,,, Avatar allready sucks IMO,,,
  • jj gonzo · 1 year ago
    I think IMAX is the way to go!!!!!!!!!!
