Japanese Key Art and the Dream of 3D


Just got an email from The Foywonder. I guess that the Asylum has ditched the idea of the 3D Transmorphers 2. That is a lump of coal in my Christmas stocking. Not only did the title have an awesome ring to it, but my heart raced with the thoughts of Z Bots reaching out of the screen and right at the audience. Oh well. Here's hoping that Transmorphers 3...D will be a reality.

On the Foywonder's blog you can see a selection of Asylum films and Sci-fi channel originals, Japanese style. American DVD marketing people just don't get it. Our entire entertainment culture is moving towards this international model. These DVD covers are not just appealing to Asian markets, but to everyone who grew up on MTV and graphic novels.

If only an American company were to make films that were marketed like this....hmmmm.

I spoke to Latt a couple of weeks ago and at that time The Asylum was still going ahead with the 3D on TRANSMORPHERS, I even recommended my DP from NOTLD 3D.

It looks like they may be going ahead with a 3D production on (get this) MEGA SHARK VS GIANT SQUID.
