Alien prequel to be shot in 3D, new trilogy being prepared?

March 8, 2010 by Will Pease

The success of James Cameron’s Avatar has prompted other directors and movie studios to follow the bandwagon. A slew of new 3D movie projects are being announced almost daily and one of these new movie projects could be the planned Alien prequel being made by Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox.

Shadow Locked, a sci-fi site from the UK, was able to interview Roger Christian, the art director who worked on Star Wars and Alien. Christian is in a good position to talk about the prequel because he has met with Scott about the movie and there’s talk that he could possibly work on it again with Scott. He did confirm that it is going to be shot in 3D. He also shared Scott has a clear vision of where he wants the movie to go and hinted that with the whole concept “had legs to go on”, there is a possibility that a new trilogy may be in the offing.

I’m certainly looking forward to this. I think Scott’s Alien is one of the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. And I even think that it blows Cameron’s Aliens out of the water.

Gaspar Noe’s Enter The Void in glorious 3D?

January 21, 2010 by Jacob

gaspar-noe-1I’ve mentioned to my friends a few weeks ago that the success of James Cameron’s Avatar would only mean that filmmakers will now consider the 3D format their newest toy and will attempt to find ways to use it. I even believe that, as far as big studios are concerned, it will replace traditional film.

But if there’s one auteur who I would consider as one of the least likely to use 3D, it would be Gaspar Noe. The guy’s ouevre is not something that you would even imagine on 3D. But apparently, I am wrong. There is now talk that Gaspar Noe is working on a “joyful porn melodrama”, and this is going to be shot in 3D. A porn movie in 3D? Now that is outside the box thinking. I can’t even begin to imagine how Noe is going to fully exploit the technology and how 3D will help propel his story. Are penises coming right at you from the screen and copious amounts of bodily fluids splashing about and making you feel that it’s going to bathe you in a sticky mess going to make for good cinema? I’m not really sure. But, one thing I know for sure though, this is going to be an event movie like no other. I bet the guardians of morality are already painting their signs as we speak.

Talk about flogging a dead horse.

George Lucas is reportedly planning to transfer all six Star Wars movies into 3D.

This news was revealed by DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, who said that Lucas has the technical resources to actually make it happen. We all know that he also has the financial resources to actually do it if he does make up his mind.

We’ll keep you posted on this news as it develops in the future.
