James Cameron is not planning to give up on 3D technology and still sees it as the future of cinema. The director of the Avatar series is once again openly defending both 3D films and high frame rate (HFR) cinema, claiming that this is the type of image that best corresponds to how the human eye perceives reality. Interestingly, Cameron also revealed that he is considering creating a new version of the cult classic Aliens in 3D technology.
Cameron considers 3D to be a "better format" and continues to develop this technology
In a new interview, Cameron explained that his fascination with 3D has been with him since childhood, and later technological advances finally allowed him to realise his own vision of spatial cinema. The director emphasises that 3D much better reflects the way humans naturally perceive the world, which is why he believes it should be the standard for modern entertainment. The creator of Avatar is also still developing High Frame Rate technology, which is a higher frame rate for images. In the latest films from the Avatar universe, he used 48 frames per second instead of the standard 24 fps, which was intended to improve the smoothness and comfort of watching in 3D. Cameron claims that HFR is not a separate format but a tool that allows for even greater immersion when watching spatial films.
“Aliens” may get a new 3D version after years
The most interesting piece of information from the interview, however, is the possibility of creating a 3D version of the 1986 film “Aliens.” Cameron admitted that current conversion tools are significantly better than they were a dozen years ago, allowing classic films to be adapted to 3D much more accurately and naturally today.
This is particularly interesting, as Cameron himself had previously heavily criticized poor 3D conversions done by Hollywood following the success of Avatar. The director believed at that time that the technology should primarily be used to refresh iconic productions rather than to quickly profit from poorly prepared spatial effects. It seems, however, that he now sees a real opportunity to create a modern version of “Aliens” that could once again hit cinemas and showcase the science fiction classic in a completely new form.
