Quote :
When Francis Ford Coppola's first 3-D film, "Twixt," premieres next month at the Toronto Film Festival, audiences will be provided with 3-D glasses, but they aren't supposed to wear them for the whole movie. The legendary director of "The Godfather" movies, mindful that the funny spectacles can be uncomfortable for some viewers, decreed that an image should flash on the screen telling the audience when to put them on and take them off.

Three-D technology is at a critical juncture in Hollywood, its mixed track record leaving few clues as to whether it will be a transformative leap like talkies or color, a limited platform like Imax or little more than a doomed gimmick like Smell-O-Vision or Sensurround.

This fall, however, three godfathers of American cinema—Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Mr. Coppola—are releasing their first 3-D films. If their movies fall short, skepticism about the format could continue to spike. Or 3-D could clear an important hurdle—respectability.

"You now have some of the greatest filmmakers in the world stepping into the format to tell their stories," says Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation chief executive and 3-D's most indefatigable evangelist..

The most closely watched 3-D film of the three may be Mr. Scorsese's "Hugo," due out Nov. 23, about a French film pioneer in the early 1900s. The director is known for gritty, critically acclaimed drama—not the format's usual turf.

Yet Mr. Scorsese says he's won over: "If at the time, in the early 1970s, when I made 'Mean Streets' or 'Taxi Driver,' or even 'Raging Bull' in 1980, if 3-D was the norm, I think those stories would have fit in perfectly in 3-D." ...

Jimmy and Georgey must be pumping these guys full of the Kool-Aid.

Can't believe this. Why would 3D make Taxi Driver a better film? What gain would there have been?

But more money would just be more, not better. The story of those early flicks doesn't need any gimmicks to work, just as it should be.

In a way I can almost see why he would say that. 3-D is a relatively new toy to the likes of Coppola and Scorcese. I guess it yields feeling of excitement from them that they haven't experienced in a long time. But they are misguided in their belief that the technology would have improved any of their earlier work.

I could understand this if he had always had the feeling "There's something missing, I couldn't make the film I wanted." But obviously he didn't, he was fairly at ease with his work; just as he should be. The other reason to crave for 3D would be if it had changed the entire landscape of his profession, as sound and colour once did. Evidently that's not the case. Of course, some films profit from 3D, in much the same way they profit from CGI. But if a movie isn't exactly up to scratch to begin with, then no third dimension is going to rescue the flick. I would have thought Scorsese was aware of that simple truth. Seemingly not.

I like 2-D visuals and 3-D scripts.

Really, 3-D puts me off.

In another news, classic paintings like the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper to be converted to 3-D. "It's gonna be F***IN' awesome!" exclaims Lourve curator Pierre LePoof.
