Every movie is becoming 3D. It’s just the way it is. Right?
Maybe not for long. Zack Snyder tells MTV that he’s reconsidering a 3D post-conversion for his next film, Sucker Punch.
“We’ve looked at a bunch of conversions, so whether or not we have the time to do it right — I’m not going to do it if we don’t have the time to really be meticulous with it,” he said. “It’s such an awesome piece of work and everyone’s worked so hard to make it awesome, so I don’t want to screw it up with bad 3-D.”
“There are very few vendors out there that are doing [conversions],” added Snyder’s wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder. “There are all these movies that want to be converted and we just haven’t felt like we’ve seen that proof yet. Visually, Zack’s done an amazing job. It’s such a spectacle in and of itself and it’s so fantastical that it doesn’t really need the 3-D.”
I was on the set of the film, and while I’m embargoed up the wazoo, I can tell you that Debbie isn’t just blowing smoke. I don’t know what Zack’s first original screenplay will turn out to be like, but from a visual standpoint, Sucker Punch is a whopper. This movie is going to have trailers that will be so diverse and weird and awesome you’re not sure what to make of it. There’s so much going on in Sucker Punch – from giant mechs to Clockwork Nazis to musical numbers – that I don’t think this movie needs 3D. And I suspect that the dimming effect of the process will only hurt it.
So here’s hoping that Snyder stands strong and doesn’t make Sucker Punch a 3D picture.

Perhaps there should be a new fan tactic:
We fans harrass and bug the theaters to offer a 3D version AND a 2D version of these movies. I lucked out and caught Clash of the Titans in 2D, but a few towns away, everyone HAD to watch it in 3D. I enjoyed it MUCH more than them, even though it had problems, because it was nicely shot. The whole time I was like "Whew, this WOULD have sucked in 3D, thanks you GOD!"
So bug and prod the theaters to offer both versions. I'm skipping The Last Airbender because of all the 3D complaints – they're going to start losing a lot of money as these complaints mount. And I'm not only talking angry internet critics and regular movie critics – my friends who could care less what critics say, all ANGRILY complain about the shity 3D and faded pictures….
Man! If ever something deserved the Charles Foster Kane gif. of late…
aren't all Snyder movies like that? good looking but nothing more..
Shame he's a shit director anyway.
This makes me wonder how involved Synder was in Legend of the Guardians- looking at the trailers, it's unmistakingly his film, but at the same time, between Watchmen and Sucker Punch, it must've been hard to squeeze in an animated film…
Looking foward to both though. This article makes Sucker Punch sound insane =)
" it's so fantastical that it doesn't really need the 3-D." and so say all of us.
Too bad no one gives a fuck what Zack Snyder does. Oh, and Watchmen was terrible.
Neat how Snyder's wife has the same surname as him.
In other words, check your style manual.
@#8: "…as HE." Isn't it?
Did you ever wonder way Holograms, look MUCH BETTER than 3D pictures?
Well… I did, and I found out WAY.
Holorama Tm coming soon to a theater near you!!!
IMDB has it listed as "Sucker Punch: An IMAX 3D Experience".. Snyder cares more about effects then storytelling, this will get post-converted into crap, guaranteed..
Well if IMDB says so…
Every comment in here bashcing him has been "well his stuff looks great but thats it". This is the first original movie that he has written that you or I will see. 300 was an adaptation and if you didn't like it its because you didn't like the comic either. So STFU and go in knowing that you have no fucking benchmark on this. You have no way to judge his abilities as a writer.
