Mad Max: Fury Road Will Be Shot In 3D
We’ve known for a while thatGeorge Miller’s upcomingMad MaxsequelMad Max: Fury Roadwould be released in 3D. But everything we’ve heard until now is that the film would be converted to 3D in post production. We now have a confirmation that the film will be shot in 3D using “revolutionary new technology” which is being developed by Miller himself based on technology originally developed by Dalsa Corporation.
The fact was confirmed by Australian movie magazineInside Film, who talked with a spokesperson has confirmed that Miller is “working on new 3D advancements to be used during the shoot.” No idea what this new advances in 3D may involve. The magazine quotes Miller as saying:
“We are doing 3D on Fury Road – we are shooting with real 3D cameras,” Dr Miller told INSIDEFILM. “Seven years ago we were going to shoot in 3D but the technology in cinemas wasn’t geared for it then but I always loved 3D or stereo.”
Inside film also lists the film’s budget as “$100 million-plus” claiming that the movie will take advantage of the Australian government’s 40% Producer Offset Rebate. The article doesn’t mention or confirmthe report from last weekthat Miller might be shootingFury Roadback to back with a follow-up, reportedly calledMad Max: Furiosa.
Also, yesterday it was confirmed that WETA is working on the conceptual design, Specialty Make-Up FX, Costume and Dummies for Fury Road. And there was also a report in The Australian claiming that the decision to make two films instead of one will result in pushing the shoot back to February. According to the report, cast, crew, agents and film service companies are awaiting official confirmation this week.
