Transformers director Michael Bay has gone on record in the past as saying that 3-D is a gimmick and wouldn’t work for his fast-paced, intense style of film-making. But, as you all know, his latest film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was in fact shot in 3-D. So what exactly did Paramount Pictures do to convince Bay to use the technology for the film? Apparently, they went to Avatar director and 3-D guru James Cameron for assistance.
On May 18th, The Hollywood Reporter and Paramount hosted an event moderated by THR‘s Jay A. Fernandez where both James Cameron and Michael Bay sat down for the first time to discuss 3-D and its use in the new Transformers film. As of yesterday, a full 16-minutes of the interview has made its way online for all to see, and you can check it out after the jump!
Michael Bay and James Cameron talk about 3-D in film:
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, directed by Michael Bay, stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hugo Weaving, Josh Duhamel, John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Leonard Nimoy, Frank Welker and Peter Cullen. It hits theaters nationwide June 29th!
