‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Will be Post-Converted To 3D

Posted on by

As the saying goes,”The best laid plans of mice and men have gone awry by the by.” Such seems to be the case with George Miller’s long in development Mad Max: Fury Road. If I remember correctly, Miller’s original intention was to film Fury Road with Mel Gibson returning as Max, but that obviously never happened.

Now, the cast is set with Tom Hardy taking over for Gibson and Charlize Theron, and her newly shaved head, in a supporting role.

Now that the cast and shooting schedule are locked, filming should be a breeze correct?

Not so fast. Miller created a new 3D camera system to shoot the extensive stunts and various action sequences, but that is not to be.

Mad Max: Fury Road will be post-converted to 3D.

Cinematographer John Seale said he will use the following cameras to shoot Fury Road:

• 4 ARRI ALEXA Plus cameras (for standard sound shooting)
• 3 ARRI ALEXA M cameras (for the interior of trucks)
• 6 Canon 5D cameras (for stunt situations)
• 7 Olympus P5 cameras (as pure “crash” cameras)

So, I guess we’re getting another post-converted 3D film. Maybe they should just stop the whole 3D thing? Grosses for the format are dropping and the fad seems to be dying out. Personally, I don’t see anything in 3D unless that’s all that’s available.

What do you think?

    Titanic was a fantastic conversion in its own right, but lets face it, conversions still aren’t as satisfying as filmed in 3D. At least when filmed in 3D is done properly. There have been some poorly filmed 3D moves.

    and how long did it take for them to do the convert?

    Post just means I go to see the 2D version or wait for the Bluray.

    the sooner the 3D fad dies out, the better.

    3 years, and at a cost of 18 million aparently. Plus, it was done by Jim Cameron the only A list director who truly knows how to use the 3D format in my opinion.

    Fads only last a season, Digital 3D has been apart of the cinema market for something like eight years now.

    Exactly..so, when they say post convert, I say shit.

    Exactly

    It hasnt been mainstream for that long.

    3D is considered a fad, since its popularity is on the downslide..

    the only reason it’s been around this long is that 3D sales increased over a period of time. by no means does it now or has it ever been more popular than 2D. recently the sales for 3D are not only leveling out as they have for a while, but they are dropping- along with studio support for meaningful investment in new technology. the payoff has never been worth the ticket price, even at its best, but that’s only my opinion. not to say that it won’t become popular again, but 6 or 7 good years in the entire history of cinema- and that’s only in terms of it’s relatively small portion of the overall market- can be safely rated as a fad. it’s too bad too, because the disappointed film industry will only raise prices on 2D (again) to recoup the losse they’ve seen over the last year and a half or so.
