In an interview with The Telegraph Michael Lewis, the founder and chief executive of RealD, which makes the 3D projection system used in most cinemas, as well as 3d cameras, says Christopher Nolan will change his feelings about not wanting to shoot 3d very soon. Here’s what Lewis said:
I think it’s just a matter of time. There are very few major directors not working with it now. Michael Bay said he’d never do 3D and then made the latest Transformers movie. Stephen Spielberg said he’s never work in 3D or even digital, but then did [in Tintin]. So I hope to get him [Nolan] at some point too!
Nolan has refused to shoot any of the Batman films in 3d even though studios would have loved the extra bump in tickets. Nolan prefers and thinks IMAX is instead the direction we should be going aka higher definition film instead of 3D glasses.
