EXCLUSIVE-No 3D for Sucker Punch: Zack Snyder

Director Zack Snyder has confirmed that his next project Sucker Punch will not be released in 3D, unlike his first animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.

“It’s a definitive no. Maybe it’s Guardians‘ fault a little bit, because I’ve seen what really awesome 3D looks like.  We talked about it at first, but I’ve been kind of broken by Guardians to the point that i said ‘Guys, there’s no way that we can do something that’s remotely close to Guardians, let’s not every try’,” Snyder told Encore.

According to Snyder, Guardians allowed him to learn not only about shot development and action sequences, but also about 3D.

“It was something that the production wanted, and I thought ‘Awesome’.  The 3D landscape has evolved interestingly around us as we were working on this film. There’a gap in the marketplace for high-end, perfectly done 3D. That’s not to say that other peoplearen’t’ amazing at doing 3D, but it’s a difficult process. You have Avatar, and then it’s hard to come with another awesome 3D movie.
