In The News: Brad (og Jeremy): Blade Runner 2099 Limited Series Is Coming To Amazon Prime Video Andor Early Buzz: Unlike Any Star Wars Story We've Seen Before — In A Great Way Peter (og Jeremy): Disney Officially Removes Patty Jenkins' Star Wars: Rogue Squadron From Its Release Schedule Brad (og Ernesto): Why Avatar Director James Cameron Believes 3D Is 'Not Over'"I would say that the 3D was generally embraced for a period of time. 'Avatar' won the best cinematography with a 3D digital camera. No digital camera had ever won the best cinematography Oscar before. Then two out of the three subsequent years, the same cameras were used by the cinematographers that won the Oscar. So you got 3 out of 4 years where the Academy embraced digital cinematography. And all 3 of those films were in 3D." "3D appears to most people to sort of be 'over.' But it's really not over. It's just been accepted. It's just now a part of your choices when you go to the theater to see a big blockbuster movie ... I liken it to color. When color films first came out, it was a big deal. People would go to see movies because they were in color. I think around the time of 'Avatar,' people used to go to see movies because they were in 3D ... I think it had an impact on how films were presented that's now just sort of accepted and part of the zeitgeist and how it's done."
