In a recent interview with producer Jon Landau has confirmed that James Cameron is currently busy working on the second and third parts of the story of Pandora, but also preparing to make a fourth series of the saga. In an interview with MTV director noticed that really has concrete plans for the film "Avatar 4", which will be a prequel.
The director said that as long, of course, did not undertake the project scenario, but he is already determined what key will form the plot of the movie. As planned by Cameron's fourth action of "Avatar" will center around the early expeditions to Pandora, in which something goes wrong in the relationship between humans and Na'vi natives. Go back and enter a few new characters that will develop in the future - these are the intentions of Cameron. However, the basic outline of the plot will still be completed in the third picture. To avoid comparisons with the "Star Wars", the director focuses on the fact that the shape of the trilogy selected them because, in his view, is the most appropriate structure for such stories.
As for the future of the two films, James Cameron is still busy on scripts for them and works on the text at the same time as one of the great storyline. Among other things, the director team works hard to simplify and shorten the process of creating a visual form of the planet.
Fox studio assign the output of "Avatar 2" in December 2014, while the third series of the franchise will be sent to cinemas in December 2015.
Recall that in May Cameron, being at a film festival in Beijing, said that is no longer interested in the new movie and going to deal only with "Avatar." "It may seem to someone limitation, but the fact is that, as part of" Avatar, "I can say whatever I want and need to say about the state of the world and that, as I think we should do with it," - said the director. Despite this statement, Cameron still going to take up the production of "Battle Angel" - a sci-fi adaptation of the manga, one of the director's favorite stories. But work on the project can be started only after those ubiquitous pieces of "Avatar." According to producer Jon Landau, regularly working with Cameron, all the cases with "Avatar" will take five years or so before 2017 "Angel" can not wait.

James Cameron has always said that for him, the most difficult part of filmmaking - writing the script for the film, while on compulsory retirement. This is what doing now director - writing scripts for a sequel to "Avatar."
Most of his time over the past 7 months, Cameron has dedicated projects not related to the "Avatar": dives in the Mariana Trench, which is recorded in stereoscopic format, involved the conversion of "Titanic" in 3D; organized a joint venture in China related to the design and development new systems for stereoscopic shooting. Now the director is ready to imprison himself in the "top-secret writer's cave" to the end of the year to finish the script for the second and third parts of "Avatar."
"This is quite a difficult task, because involves writing of two scenarios, and both must be completed in one and the same time."
Cameron plans to shoot both sequels simultaneously, with a view to rolling out in the second part of "Avatar 2" in 2015. In the sequel, will be discussed on the previously unexplored habitats of the planet Pandora, new creatures and the main characters. When filming will use technology developed by Cameron and his team, for the first part of the film.
"I'm writing a script in the form of two separate stories that are fully included in the narrative arc of the first film. I do not want to repeat the mistake of the" Matrix 2 ", which ended unclear how and what. It had to have an end. Was to remain a sense of completion, with a hint of history its sequel - it's a fine line. "
Writing the script, Cameron recalls the difficulties he faced, taking the first film. He and his team have spent years testing new camera, software and perfecting technology to capture images. On the set of "Avatar" hung a sign saying, "This is - Avatar. Nothing works the first time." As you work, the team led the magazine, by the end of filming turned into a thick Talmud, which records all of the technical problems and solutions in case you happen to shoot sequel to "Avatar."
"At that time it was hastily heaviest directory. We always knew that it was not very reliable, but we saved it for the sequel. First film almost killed us, and now we're going to try and tempt fate twice."
According to Cameron, he plans to begin pre-production stage for the second and third parts of the film in January 2013.

Visitors of Comic-Con have liked fragments of "The Hobbit" even without 3D, and the infamous demonstration of the speed at 48 frames per second. Since Peter Jackson decided before the fans come out to the suffering and provide 12 minutes of the long-awaited first part of future Novels. However, there is a chance that the "Hobbit" could become a trilogy.
The decision of Jackson is clear: all the memorable demonstration of the trailer, "The Hobbit" at the convention CinemaCon, where the video in 3D, and 48 fps was honored with a very cool reception. Of course, the fans - more than a loyal audience, but it should be used sparingly, and to whom, if not the director of "Lord of the Rings", know this.
Peter Jackson took the stage, holding the phone at arm's length. Shot the set especially for those who did not get to Comic-Con. Jackson introduced the co-writer Philippe Boyens and his wife Fran Walsh. Then the lights went out and started cuttings form the film.
The longest stage was in the beginning of the movie. Gandalf, Bilbo and the dwarves are at Bag End and argue about how to get back the treasure from the dragon Smaug. A lot of funny moments, and most of all laughter caused Bilbo reluctant to go along with the dwarves on a journey. This was followed by shots of Rivendell, Saruman (Christopher Lee), replaced by Gandalf galloping on a horse with a sword at the ready - he is clearly running somewhere. Galadriel and Gandalf talking about how Saruman will fight against evil. The trolls, giants, goblins, Legolas. Bilbo and Gollum ask each other riddles, there Smigol (a split personality in the performance of Andy Serkis is always great!) and is torn between a desire to play and eat Bilbo alive. Bilbo finds the ring and follows it to Gandalf. "I found something in the goblin tunnels," - he says the magician, but when he asks what it is, the hobbit hiding the ring in his pocket, saying: "Courage." Gandalf approves: "Good. We will need it".
Jackson called to the scene the actors. Andy Cerkis, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage and Sir Ian McKellen came out from behind the scenes by the roar of the crowd, and when the surprise came Elijah Wood, the hall joy knew no bounds. More about the "Hobbit" became known to some curious facts.
Composer Howard Shore for the next six to eight weeks start recording music with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Jackson has not removed his cameo appearance, but once back in New Zealand will do it.
Philippa Boyens explained the presence of Galadriel in the movie: "It was the most powerful in the creation of Middle-earth in the days of "The Hobbit", so we decided to include it in the film."
Tauriel played by Evangeline Lilly, was invented specifically for the film to enhance a woman's presence.
Freeman joked that he did not complain about hairy legs of hobbits, since around was full of colleagues in the makeup of the Dwarfs.
Does Jackson want to make a film on the "Silmarillion"? "I am unlikely to live more than a hundred years!" - Joked the director, but then seriously added that the rights to the book are in Tolkien's relatives who are not enthusiastic about the film adaptations of his authorship.
Peter Jackson also said that rumors about the transformation of "The Hobbit" in the trilogy, though premature, but not unfounded.
"We have the right to use the 125 pages of additional notes of Tolkien in which he expanded the world of "The Hobbit". We talked with Fran with the studio about what we could not shoot. It may be possible to persuade them to a few weeks next year. But what form will these surveys, it is too early to say. In this story there are other parties that we would like to tell you. "
"The Hobbit: an unexpected journey," will be released in cinemas in December 20, 2012.
Warner Bros. is going to work on “Justice League”
(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
After the huge success of "Avengers" this decision of rival studio Warner Bros. was only a matter of time. "Justice League" may be also appear on the big screen - the film has found a new writer. Before the company was trying to approach conceived in 2008, but the project was shelved. Now, however, is clearly the priorities have changed, and the movie is in company’s plans.
Justice League - a team of superheroes publisher DC Comics, which includes Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, and other characters. For the first time this team has appeared in comics in 1960. Since then, the League has created many cartoons and even a TV movie (who was the pilot episode of the series of planned).
In 2007, the studio Warner Bros. wanted to adapt the story to the big screen. Project has been connected to the creator of "Mad Max" and the animated film "Happy Feet" George Miller. Among the actors in the "League" had to participate, Adam Brody (Flash), rapper Common (Green Lantern), Armie Hammer (Batman) and Megan Gale (Wonder Woman).
However, the text of the tape is constantly corresponded, in addition, layered writers' strike and the lack of evidence on tax incentives (surveys were to be held in Australia), and eventually all of the above led to froze the project.
Since then, the League somehow was forgotten. But during this time Marvel launched a massive attack on the audience, producing two tapes per year and securing the line of its monumental paintings, "Avengers", which became one of the highest-grossing film in history.
While it is unknown whether the development of an entirely new picture, or in the case involving old developments. The script for the "League" will write, Will Bill, he is responsible for the text of the strip by Ruben Fleischer "Hunters in the gangsters', also developed on the Warner Bros. In addition, the writer is working on a remake of "Logan's Getaway" and reboot "Lethal Weapon."
The latest fruit of collaboration Warner and DC Comics is a film about "Green Lantern", unfortunately, have not justified the hopes of commercial and cool adopted by the critics. But among the future joint projects of publishers and studios is the new film by Christopher Nolan's Batman and the "Man of Steel," Zack Snyder.

A month before the start of the second "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" studio Paramount has taken an ingenious solution: output action with Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson postponed for nine months before the end of March 2013. The reason - the company's desire to convert the picture in 3D, thereby increasing the box-office potential of the project.
In conversation with the publication of one of the bosses Deadline Studios announced that Paramount is planning to carry out good work on the translation of actions in three-dimensional format. "We have seen how 3D can improve the international box office - cites his companion media. - Jim Cameron "Titanic", and see how well the film itself has shown. "
The film industry, to put it mildly, surprised the company, especially because the sequel to the promotion of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" has already been spent significant sums: an expensive promotional film spun during the American Super Bowl, also launched a street campaign action games, and TV have been launched spots.
Trying to explain their decision, Paramount points to the previous experience of the transfer of their releases, which led to success. So it was, for example, the "Shutter island" by Martin Scorsese - a tape later revealed significant box office results. A new date for the start of the second "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" - March 29, 2013-th - to protect the studio, citing the high sales figures, "Hunger Games" and stating that the spring could be a good time for blockbuster.
But above all, Paramount presses not on the specific numbers, and the potential for a three-dimensional format, stating that the construction of 3D-cinema in Russia and China makes the market more attractive. Studio is already discussing with its partners in the project - MGM and companies Skydance - new costs over the next nine months.
Christopher Nolan about IMAX

Christopher Nolan shoots his movies one camera and doesn’t believe in 3D. Excerpts from an interview resource DGA read below.
- When did you realize that the direction - your destination?
"To be honest, I've always made films, and never stopped doing it, starting with experiments on puppet animation, which are conducted with the help of the Super 8 camera of my father. In my understanding, all of this - a continuum, a set of closely related events in film and I never changed this hobby. I usually wandered around with a camera, but not graduated from high school on this profile. I studied English literature in college and was intended for academic excellence, while continuing to make films. I took my first feature film "Following" with the help of friends and sponsoring it from my own pocket. We were all busy at work all week, so going on the weekends throughout the year, taking 15 minutes of raw material every Saturday for two or three takes of each scene, with the result, about 5 minutes, ready for the film material. Then, in 1998 we went to a film festival in San Francisco (San Francisco Film Festival) and the studio Zeitgeist Films invited to speak to our distributor, that really helped me in the future to do the project "Memento" . I was hired as director, in my truck lay millions of dollars, and at my disposal were hundreds of people. "
- You are a longtime fan of detective novels, which are often used flashbacks. Hence the love of your non-linear narrative?
"Well, I was influenced a couple of things. When I was 16, I read a novel by Graham Swift's" The Water ", which co-existed in an incredible way and different times of the parallel measurements, and it was absolutely coherent and comprehensible. About the same while I watched on television music video of Alan Parker's "The Wall", which used similar methods of playing with imagination, memories, dreams, dreams are superimposed on the other. All of this firmly lodged in my head, along with detectives James Ellroy, Jim Thompson, as well as the films in the style of noir, such as stunned me, "Out of the Past" by Jacques Turner. Then, it is unclear how, in my hands was a script to unreleased still rolling, "Pulp Fiction" and I was absolutely fascinated by what Tarantino has done. "
- For your early movies you yourself have written script, filmed, mounted, even doing decorations. The only thing you did - you did not play. How do you work with actors? What have you learned from them in the early stages of their work?
"I try to provide them with everything necessary in the process of filming. Perhaps this is not what they think, and, indeed, is that they get something contrary to their desires, but I really try to be different and adapted to each actor. I'm trying to build them the conditions under which they would feel comfortable trying to help them show their talent to the maximum extent. "
"My uncle, John Nolan - an actor, he starred in several of my films. When I started working on the "Following", he studied acting, so I asked him what I need to know. He gave me a couple of books of Stanislavsky, one of which was "An Actor work on himself," and said they would give me ideas about the basics of acting. "
- How scary was the leap from "Insomnia" with a budget of $ 45 million to "Batman Begins," with a budget three times bigger?
"I do not know whether anyone else experiences similar to my mind, but the difference between filming "Following" with a group of friends, who stars in their own clothes and eating sandwiches, cooked by my mother, and 4 million of somebody's money given to me to "Memento" with hundreds of people, and there is the biggest jump I ever did, bit like the way you learn to swim at depth: no matter how much beneath you to the bottom - 2 feet or 10, or you'll drown, or not. "
"The difference between "Insomnia" and "Batman Begins" was mostly in the large-scale scenes. And "Batman” was my first film in which there were so many visual effects. Otherwise, for me the process of shooting remains the same: you stand and stare to the place where will the next scene. Everything else disappears. "
- Why do you prefer to shoot a camera?
"I use multiple cameras, when shoot tricks, for dramatic action, I take a camera. Working with one camera means that I have seen every frame while shooting a scene, because my attention is not distributed across multiple machines. So, I see everything when shooting live, look through the evening dailies. If you shoot multiple cameras, you have accumulated a lot of footage and you have at the end of the day to start from scratch. "
- Did you shoot all of your big-budget films with IMAX cameras?
"We have not filmed on IMAX "Inception” because it tried to convey more realistic dreams, and not the wonderful nature, so we used a handheld camera and filmed it spontaneously. As for the "Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight 2: The Legend Continues", just in these cases, the large size of the IMAX frame is the best conveys the drama of the situation. Thus, the choice of camera depends on what movie you want to shoot. But in any case, as a director, is trusted by a large budget, I feel a responsibility to the audience to shoot, using the technology of the highest quality that will help and make a film the way I want it to be turned. "
- While many of your fellow directors, working on the set, dressed in casual clothes, you prefer light or dark suit jacket with pants. Why do you "wear it"?
"I went to public school where we wore uniforms, and I used to use all the pockets in my jacket. (Laughs) I'm just in this user-friendly. I do not like to think, what would I wear this, so every day I wear the same thing . In short, I dress like going to work in the office. It's easier. "
James Cameron: “The ocean has always interested me more than anything else”

James Cameron on Twitter village spoke about his immersion into the Mariana Trench.
"I made a lot of diving. Sense of isolation, awareness of how tiny you are in this huge, black, possession of an unknown place of you."
"Whenever you make another dive, hoping that you'll see something new. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift, sometimes - not."
"We're going to get samples of the next dive."
"History is always close to people. We all want the giant sea monsters, we can not exclude this possibility, but I bet - they are not there."
"Sphere cools, does not receive light. Walls are covered with condensation. You are in a world without the sun and heat."
"I'm doing yoga and a lot of running around to get ready physically and mentally, knowing how everything will be hard."
"The space for the pilot is very small, stuffed with electronics. I felt like a real astronaut. There was no room to move."
"Description of the construction of submersible expedition itself will certainly find its place in my future films."
"A lot of people who saw "Avatar", caught the connection to the oceans. All I could see under the water, feeds my imagination."
"Reaching the bottom, you become a real witness. I stopped and absorbed the feeling."
"I took part in designing submersible design. I know every part of it. When the hatch battened down, I believe that it will stand the pressure."
"I hope I can do two things at once in parallel: research and Avatar 2 and 3."
"You go down to bottom, following the plan of aggressive play. This does not mean that the technique will always work correctly."
"You should be able to maintain the correct attitude. This is not "one-off" deal, which will be decided by one immersion and immediate answers to all questions."
"The bottom of the submersible was devoid of any marked outlines. I thought that this way we adapt for the environment, but I do not think we notice it."
"It's limitless limit, to realize that we need time. It was pale and lifeless, isolated."
"I expected to find life, and I found that it is incredibly small. I have not seen large jellyfish, sea anemones."
"The ocean has given me a choice: you either make your dream come true, or walk down the red carpet London premiere of "Titanic".
"Most people know me as a filmmaker, but the ocean, and research has always interested me more than anything else."
Why we willl not see the film on Halo game?
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
In Wired magazine published a long article, which has analyzed reasons that prevented adaptation of the game Halo, which was planning to shoot Neil Blomkamp under the control of producer Peter Jackson. The main problem lies in the fact that Microsoft does not understand the principles of Hollywood.
Text of Wired is an excerpt from the book by Jamie Russell "Generation XBOX: How video games took over Hollywood." Because the text is very large, will highlight the main points.
Microsoft aggressively pushing Halo to the big screen. The company could realize that the game is an ideal material for blockbuster. High-octane action game based on the mythology of a decent, full of special effects and has a huge fun team - is not a dream for Hollywood? The first two parts separated by Halo world with a circulation of 13 million copies, earning a total of over 600 million over four years.
Legal details of the transaction engaged in agency CAA. Pitching has been unprecedented. With the knowledge of all the majors (Universal, Fox, New Line, DreamWorks), June 6, 2005 CAA sent a courier to the offices, uniformed Master Chifa, a soldier of the future of the game. Each arrived at the studio and delivered by Alex Garland script, which was given to the reading of 24 hours. For each scenario, accompanied by the paper on which was written, how much Microsoft wants for filming, someone must take the director and was put the necessary condition, required to immediately start the film in production.
All the studios, except for one, tried to bargain. Only the script came from Fox with a "Yes." As a result, the studio has agreed to merge with Universal - co-financing has helped to overcome the costly picture. Fox took over international distribution, while Universal has got to bed. Signed agreement is unparalleled to this day. Studios managed to negotiate a purchase option for $ 5 million and 10% of the final fees.
What is not taken into account in Microsoft, so it is that Hollywood will not dance to their tune. According to Russell, in order to reduce the reluctance of Microsoft terms of the contract, they will have to kill the movie. In particular, the company is required to retain the approval of the director and cast, plus 60 tickets for the little things first class for the staff of Microsoft and their guests at the premiere.
Microsoft saw only the director Peter Jackson. However, he failed to press: the director took only for producing, offering, as directed by his protege - the author of "Area number 9," Neil Blomkamp. Of course, this decision led to Jackson's enthusiasm for Microsoft. At that time, Blomkamp has on his account only the short film "Surviving in Yoburge", which spawned the famous film about aliens. But since Halo is launched in the design, the company had to accept the candidacy of the Nile. In addition, the studios were happy to get the cheapest producer - Jackson.
The process has moved. Jackson's company Weta Workshop has worked on the creation of dummy weapons, vehicles and developed the armor for the heroes. The resulting test short films form the basis of advertising the game Halo 3: Landfall. Get close to the film so close and failed.
Blomkamp himself recalls with horror these days. Collision with majors turned to the young director's nightmare. "Instinct told me that if you stir up a hornets' nest, nothing good will come, and here from the very beginning it was..." The studio did not like the direction in which Blomkamp moved. "The fact that I was playing Halo and playing video games - the director says. - I represent a generation for whom this film was made, and there are people who are much older! My version of Halo would be unrealistic to cool! It was much fresher than bushing boring fighters like "Throw Cobra" who are so fond of sculpting in Hollywood. "
As a result, Blomkamp vowed that never again will work with the studio Fox - went so far as it conflicts with its head Tim Rothman. "They are beginning to treat me like shit", - the Nile. Not surprisingly, his second full-length studio project is afoot to Sony.
On the other hand, Blomkamp pressured guys from Microsoft with his "creative control". After paying for the Garland script, written at the request, Microsoft is not going to deviate from the written one iota. Universal miraculously managed to recruit three of the writers, who polished the text, but those cost a pretty penny - in the preparatory development of the film have invested $ 12 million.
Because of the constant delays associated with the creative process and the lack of money, work went slowly. In October 2006, it was time to pay the filmmakers and Microsoft. The costs were so high that Universal demanded to reduce the fee of producers. Jackson refused, took Blomkamp and in November of 2007 went to do "District number 9". There were no money for further development. A screen adaptation of Halo covered copper basin. The end of the film.
Video Games - a sore spot in Hollywood. On the one hand, Mr. Anderson is issuing this year, another "Resident Evil", the fall comes the second "Silent Hill", in front is rebut of "Lara Croft", but the mass of the projects on the game is in limbo. Why do video games do not come to Hollywood? The unequivocal answer is still no.
Who are they, cinema titans?

In the world there are not many people, almost every word or action which is perceived as a direct order, and sets in motion a huge mass of people and capital. No, we are not talking about the presidents of nuclear powers, since their impact on the reality of much more modest and where short-lived. In the high-tech industry such person was Steve Jobs, in the entertainment industry - James Cameron and Peter Jackson. The first has already moved the film industry back on track stereoscopy, the second is preparing to modify one of its core standards. The only question is whether it can keep up with the ardent revolutionaries.
Anticipating the inevitable protests from detractors of duty, just clarify: yes, nothing revolutionary, as in stereoscopy, as in shooting with a high frame rate. Similar experiments with varying degrees of success were at the dawn of cinema. However, only now they are able to withdraw beyond the fun rides and give them the status of locomotives across the industry.
Suffice it to recall that director of the same "Avatar" was transferred several times. Basically, not because James Cameron wanted more time to bring the project to the mind, but as a global box office because of the unavailability of the new rules of the game. Now, however, the presence of stereoscopic movies of all stripes on the screen is absolutely commonplace, and only a fantastic blockbusters without 3D-version and look at all anachronistic.
Something similar should happen with the standard frame rate. He finally established itself with the advent of sound film, since the rate of 16 frames per second, used in silent film, could not provide adequate quality of the optical sound track. Since then, numerous attempts to overcome the 24-HR barrier, but the world standard remained unmoved.
And now for the first time the situation may change. Is precisely because the initiators of change were James Cameron and Peter Jackson. And if the first one in this case so far only as a theorist, the second is almost biblical mission, which is to test the readiness of industry to this "new covenant".
Already, many projection systems company Barco, Christie, Sony and NEC are able to show movies with such frequency after minor modifications and software updates, but after the first part of "The Hobbit" this additional option has the potential to become the main one. Hence, the frequency standard is about a hundred children will very soon become the lot of reactionaries and artists, as his time in black and white photography.
Well, then we expect the continuation of "Avatar", the creators of which may go even further. For good reason James Cameron once said that the experiment not only with new ways to create a stereo effect, but with a frequency of 60 frames per second and above.
So, if in December 2012 End of the World did not come, we will witness the beginning of a new revolution, the origins of which were only two people with their ideas, phenomenal capacity for work and a desire not to create new movies, but new worlds.
“The Hobbit” trailer on CinemaCon

Theater owners congregate in Las Vegas for a convention CinemaCon, ambiguously estimated 10 minutes of the film Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", submitted after the opening words of the director. Despite the increased clarity, filmed and shown at 48 frames per second, and many are unhappy.
The presentation touched on various Warner studio projects, including "Dark Shadows" by Tim Burton, "The Great Gatsby" Baz Luhrmann and "The Dark Knight: The Legend Continues" by Christopher Nolan.
Timur Bekmambetov received an award as best foreign film director working in Hollywood. The award was presented by Tim Burton, the producer of the upcoming movie Timur "President Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
"Timur Bekmambetov - one of the few directors who can make the Russian film understandable and attractive to the world" - said the managing director of CinemaCon Mitch Neuhauser.
Coming on the scene, Tim Burton joked that he could not imagine who of directors may be better to make a film about an American president, rather than Russian. Accepting the award, Bekmambetov said a few words about a new project: "This is a very unusual film. Not a sequel nor prequel. It's a different story about the great man who changed the world in the nineteenth century. "
But back to Peter Jackson. For years, filmmakers have made films at 24 frames per second, but when James Cameron said that the continuation of "Avatar" will shoot at 48 frames per second, the film industry has a serious cause for reflection. The first initiative supported by Cameron Jackson, began to work on the "Hobbit" at double speed.
Since the director is in New Zealand, he wrote an appeal to the visitors of CinemaCon, which read: "The new rate gives the illusion of real life, the movements are smoothed out and lost strobe effect." Indeed, 10 minutes, is shown after Jackson appeared. The first frame in which the camera flies over the rock, struck viewers clarity - even documentaries about nature, can not be removed with such quality.
However, when it came to the emergence of actors in costumes, the effect is somewhat blurry. Every movement of the characters were so clear that many of the audience began to complain of a lack of cinematic seen. "It looks like a TV movie - said one of the projectionist blog LA Times. - Too reliable, too clearly. In contrast, something is wrong - or dark or too bright. "
One of Los Angeles reacted to what he saw Booker with great enthusiasm, but said: "The question is whether audiences are ready to watch such realistic films. I expected a small difference, but it was great! Will this affect the narrative? I do not know. But judging by the ten minutes I will not. "
The realism of "The Hobbit" recalled one owner of a small chain of movie theaters effects blu-ray: «When I first saw the movie on blu-ray, we noticed that the heat is gone perception. The whole movie seemed to me material about the shooting, shot at a normal video camera. " Among other comparisons, and called soap operas, which are captured on video.
Jackson has another eight months before release, and it is likely to respond to words such as visitors CinemaCon. But now a new technology begins to cause skepticism, both in time and promoted by James Cameron 3D.
