In a recent interview with SCI-FI Wire, Brendan Fraser said that he has seen a segment of Star Wars being remastered in 3D:"I've actually seen 15 minutes of Darth Vader entering and capturing [Princess] Leia," Fraser said. "The best part was that some of the extras are running around, and they wore helmets and stuff, and because it's in 3-D you see so much detail that you can see one of the extras was wearing, like, a construction worker's helmet that someone took a blowtorch to so that it melted to look different. It was yellow on the inside and spray-painted on the outside. So it'll have real charm going backwards to see that stuff."I am very curious about the process they are using for this 2D to 3D conversion. I am sure George Lucas is ensuring that it is done right and I am positive it will be. Can't wait to see the final results!
He also mentioned a little bit about the 3D technology used to create "Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D":
"Yeah, we saw [the 3-D effects] as we were shooting it, because it was all in real time," Fraser said during interviews for his upcoming film The Air I Breathe. He added: "The technology is now ... in [a] place where you can watch this and be satisfied by the images that you see and not feel like you're just being taken on a gratuitous roller-coaster ride."This is definitely the Cameron/Pace technology that I know and love. Its got James Cameron written all over it - the ability to see real-time takes and bring up backgrounds and raw CGI to see where the actors should be performing all drastically speeds up the process and reduces cost. There is no question the 3D technology was in place and used for Journey 3D. Now, is it a good movie? I reserve judgement...
