Rumor has it that AOTC and ROTS 3D are coming in 2014.

They would look awesome in 3D, I want it.

I have no interest in anymore 3D conversions. Asit is, I'm very selective about what I will watch in 3D

Same. I'll go see them in 3D for sure.

Has it been mentioned if Episode 7 will be shot in 3D?

Although unconfirmed all signs point to a post 3D conversion. It's being shot on film, not digital.

Oh, OK! Actually, I am kind of happy that it is being shot on film instead of digitally.

Star Wars: Episode VII Reportedly Casting a 40-Something Military Officer

While not 40 something, I have had the hope that Michael Fassbender would be cast in this movie. He'd make a great Imperial.

Nah. not gonna happen. He's gonna be too busy with X-men for a while I think.

With the exception of the returning cast, I think they all need to be relative unknowns anyways.

Or, Alternatively, they could Cast Tom Baker as a Sith.

You don't need digital to shoot 3D

I thought all the modern 3D cameras were Digital?

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

They aren't 3D cameras, it's a special rig that attaches two cameras together. Digital cameras have only been dominant for about the last 5 years or so.

I can only go on what the internet tells me about film/digital filming however that's why I said it's still unconfirmed. We don't know yet.

yeah, they are...

You don't need digital to shoot 3D

No you don't, but to shoot 3D on film in 2013/14 is terribly expensive and unwieldy. Most if not all of the latest 3D resurgence of movies have been either shot on film/hd and post converted or actually shot on a true HD3D camera system. There is a reason for this.

Not saying they couldn't do it with Star Wars, but its very unlikely. It would have to be a dual camera set up as you said.

They aren't 3D cameras, it's a special rig that attaches two cameras together. Digital cameras have only been dominant for about the last 5 years or so.

One of the main problems with shooting 3D Film is this. Film is an organic process, it weaves through the camera spools and isn't exact. It shifts slightly and sometimes significantly as it is exposed. Camera weave. When two cameras are recording the same information at the same time, for true 3D, camera weave which is not synced between the two can ruin the effect or need a huge amount of correction later. HD cameras match exactly, don't have double the film stock or processing costs (huge on movies) and are light weight. And 3D effects work better because the image is sharper and the depth of field greater. Film has greater drop off of focus within shots, especially with anamorphic lenses so again more troublesome.

The camera on the left is a 3D 4K camera I believe. On the right is the traditional double HD cam 3D link up, you mentioned.
There are proper 3D cameras now that don't require a link rig. HD, 4K and 3DIMAX. Not film though.

That pic is full of win, only counting Spielberg and Cameron. To be honest I'm not sure who the third guy is but I'm sure he must be good.

yeah, it's Katzenberg, who looks like a scary powerful producer. He certainly is one.
