When Matt Pitts, a writer on "Fringe" and a former assistant to J.J. Abrams, recently began shopping his first film script to movie studios, he knew he had a marketable idea on his hands. The title of his screenplay, after all, was "Spring Break Zombie Cruise" and its storyline followed, well, just that.
But the prospect of flesh-eating creatures stalking beautiful young bodies wasn't his script's main hook. The element to catch a studio mogul's eye? A plan to shoot the project in 3-D. "In my mind it just added that extra ounce of fun," Pitts says.
I just hope the novelty of 3D wears off soon and people stop paying extra to see a movie in 3D. Fuck 'em.People pay double a traditional ticket price to see non-IMAX movies blown up to IMAX proportions and not look much better at all and you think they will stop paying more for 3D? Not gonna happen.

Further proof that 3D sucks:See this is the one movie I am kind of ok with. It's being shot by Ridley Scott. A lot of his movies tend to be empty but they tend to be really pretty looking. He knows how to make a movie look really good, if there is anyone who can make 3D look good it's him even if the movie is pretty meh.
Alien prequel will be shot in 3D. (http://www.collider.com/2010/04/23/ridley-scott-confirms-alien-prequel-will-be-shot-in-3d/)
I want to see the first 3D Oscar bait film. What's Paul Haggis doing?Paul Haggis wrote your favorite movie of all time, Quantum of Solace.

Oh the future irony when Feder's first screenplay gets turned into a 3D movie

Whatever they are doing it has worked. The home video market has plummeted while theatrical films $$ have been skyrocketing these past few years.

This really isn't true. Growth in the home video market has declined, but that's because DVD has pretty much saturated the market and BD is still priced out of a lot of people's homes. Like I said, once the prices drop, that'll shift.Do you think Blu-Ray will take over the home video market or be just a in-between thing from DVD to digital downloads ala laser disk was for vhs to dvd?
Theatrical revenue is not sustainable. The ticket prices are going up faster than people's incomes.
It's precisely this kind of short term thinking that fuels this kind of stupidity. It will only hurt the industry.
here's a high concept for you
"my mommy is a zombie"
a boy's mother comes back as the living dead and the boy tries to have a normal relationship with it, but it all goes horribly wrong.
it's a metaphor for divorce and moral equivalency
and it's a kid's movie
So its kinda like Pet Sematary 2?

Dear My Friends,
Are you already bored with the movies about girls in school uniforms swinging their weapons around? What? Ninja? Geisha girls? No, no, that's all way too old fashioned. But the waiting is over as we present an incredibly Japanese style of movie. And look, if you're bored with watching recent mass‐produced erotica and those grotesque movies, we are offering a new challenge, something awesome! Yes, 3D!
Our new movie is about pretty girls with big tits and zombies and it's in 3D! It will be absolutely the best movie you have ever seen. No mistake. It's a violent, action movie full of taboos. It's up to you to watch it or not. Are you ready?
You'll be convulsed with laughter at this previously unthinkable storyline brought to you by TMC&CONCEPT FILM CO, LTD. It's based on the notorious comic book "Big Tits Dragon" which was banned from most stores. They said it would be impossible to put that story on the big screen but we did! And, as a special treat, our new movie "Big Tits Zombie" is in 3D (anaglyph method)! Yes, exactly as you imagine, big tits will pop up right in front of your face! Meanwhile, the hideous zombies will close in on and fight against the scantily‐dressed girls.
[STORY]
BIG TITS ZOMBIE in 3D!!!
Deadly DD‐Cups!!!
A bloody Armageddon has begun!
Rena Jodo (Sola Aoi) is a stripper who just got back from Mexico and she has been offered a gig at a hot spring resort. When she arrives, she finds a deserted country town. There's hardly anyone in the audience at the strip club and all the other strippers, including Ginko (Risa Kasumi), Maria (Mari Sakurai), Nene (Tamayo) and Dana (Io Aikawa) are all bored stiff. They don't know what to do with their time and they are on the verge of fighting each other.
When they decide to go down to the basement of the club to kill time, Maria finds a "Book of the Dead" near "the Well of the Spirit." But who could have imagined the horror and panic that find would bring? Maria's reading of the book out loud has somehow revived the dead and zombies start appearing all over the world attacking mankind. It's Hell in the real world!
Dana and Nene are bitten by the zombies and they turn into living dead who attack Rena and Ginko. The poor big‐bosomed babes have no choice but to fight against Maria who now rules the zombies and tries to establish a kingdom of zombies. Rena and Ginko have to challenge Maria and the hordes of zombies! And how does the Blue Demon Devil (Minoru Torihada) fit in?
Charming Sola Aoi who has a splendid figure (bust: 35 inches/ waist: 23 inches/ Hip: 33 inches) is the star of the film. Sola has a baby face and a dynamite body. Her unbalanced attractions made her a big star in the world of adult videos and recently she started appearing in films and TV dramas. She is not only popular in Japan but also in other Asian countries, especially Taiwan, where she is nicknamed "Baby Face Big Tits." Sola has been welcomed passionately every time she has visited Asian countries. In fact, so many fans and mass media rushed to the airport to see her that her arrival itself became headline news.
I give 3D another year or two before everyone stops caring.
I don't think it is going away any time soon. Look at IMAX, 90% of the movies shown in IMAX aren't filmed in IMAX at all. Yet they still push them in the format because it costs more, same will be with 3D.
When you get directors like fucking Martin Scorsese scrapping his period piece drama that was already cast and in pre-production just to jump at the chance to shoot some sci-fi blockbuster that he'd normally never do purely because he wants to use 3D cameras you know this tech is something that is going to stick around.
He has been ranting for the past year how much he wants to do 3D, so that is probably the key factor. For someone who can do any movie he wants more so than most working directors I really doubt the higher pay check on Hugo Cabaret over Silence was the main reason. He isn't that type of director who does director-for-hire stuff for the $$$.I don't think it is going away any time soon. Look at IMAX, 90% of the movies shown in IMAX aren't filmed in IMAX at all.

Or you think: Marty took the cash.
