Total Film News: Pacific Rim will be released in 3D

Pacific Rim will be released in 3D Sep 13th 2012, 07:28 When it comes to charging a few more dollars per seat vs. respecting the wishes of the director, it seems as though there can only be one winner, as Warner has announced that Pacific Rim will be released in 3D. The film will receive the three-dimensional treatment in post production, but director Guillermo Del Toro has long been of the opinion that the film isn't well suited to the technology. "I didn’t want to make the movie 3D," says Del Toro, "because when you have things that big, the thing that happens naturally is you’re looking at two buildings at 300 feet. If you move, the buildings don’t go like this (moves his hands closer together), there’s no parallax."  "They’re so big that you barely notice anything no matter how fast you’re moving, so to force the 3D effect on robots and monsters that are supposed to be that height, you’re making them miniaturised, you’re making them human-scale. I knew that the 3D effect sounded like a great idea, but it was gonna be counter." However, Warner will be keen to rake in as much financial return as they can from the project, and with China currently only releasing American films if they are in 3D or IMAX, and a lot of the film's action taking place in Asia, the decision was probably a no-brainer. Still, Western audiences will get the option to choose between 2D and 3D, and it sounds to us as though 2D is the format to go for. Pacific Rim opens in the UK on 12 July 2013.
