Talk of Breaking Dawn as a 2D & 3D film...interview with Wyck Godfrey




The below report courtesy of Twilight Examiner via Facebook:

Circling back onto the conversation about whether The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn should be 3-D, a new interview FearNET's Jen Yamato had with Wyck Godfrey (producer of Twilight, Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and, of course, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) brings forth some of the behind-the-scenes conversations being waged about the idea.



In the interview, Yamato asked Godfrey whether the employment of 3-D technology was still being considered by the Twilight filmmakers.


"We have considered it, and everything's being discussed, but I know that part of a way to differentiate the two movies would be to have one be in 2D, and when she becomes a vampire we move into 3D. But we haven't really gotten far enough to decide what we're going to do. I'm of two minds of it, frankly, and I think everyone is; I don't want to chase the format if it's not organic and appropriate. If we think it is, we will," he told her.
During the extensive conversations we've had on this site about the concept of a 3-D Breaking Dawn, most fans have agreed that Bella's experience as a vampire may work well in 3-D but that the earlier sequences absolutely should not be. That said, do Godfrey's statements here encourage you? If you're agreeable to this position, you may also be interested in what Godfrey told her about the filmmakers' plans for the earlier portions of Breaking Dawn - particularly the birthing scene.


"I think the one thing that we've done that we've really done in all the films is keep them very subjective and keep them from Bella's point of view. So the conversations we've had with Bill, is that we'll try to do something similar here; you're with Bella's perspective and her point of view of what's taking place in the rush around her, as she's in intense pain. Not so focused, objectively, on her body and his body and that. So I think it'll be something like that, in terms of trying to make the audience experience and feel the confusion, almost, of what's happening to her," he explained.


Do you have any thoughts on this?
