I imagine he has no choice, that the studios stipulate he must use and promote 3D to get the funding. The studios want it, like you say, because they think it will encourage people to go to cinemas again.
If you saw Scorsese promoting his new flick recently on the Daily Show, he opined at length about the wonderful cinematographical benefits of 3D, and it didn't ring true at all. It definitely seemed like he was obliged, perhaps contractually, to say it.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoI saw Hugo in 3D and Martin Scorcese made it look _amazing_. I have never seen it look as good as he managed. I don't know how he comes across in interviews, but he is clearly a virtuoso with it in practice.

- bmuon 15y ago> I imagine he has no choice I think so as well. Back when Guillermo del Toro was going to direct it, he posted in The One Ring forums saying they didn't any interest in 3D at the moment, but "If after AVATAR the market may change and demands are put upon us, etc that is in the future". http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_threaded;post=212078;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;guest=9426799 http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi...
