Benedict Cumberbatch Talks More About Villain John Harrison and J.J. Abrams on Coverting Star Trek Into Darkness to 3D

TrekMovie.com posted new interviews with Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams,  and stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto to the Korean site Naver Movies, and here are few excerpts.

Cumberbatch: He [John Harrison] is an extraordinary terrorist of sorts. He uses himself as a warrior with weapons and close hand combat to just reap devastation and havoc wherever he goes and a trail of destruction follows him. What is interesting from an acting point of view — beyond doing the stunts and choreographed fight sequences….was also the psychological warfare that he acts out. He has an incredible ability to control people’s minds to his bidding and make them – well confuse the radar of their loyalties and prerogatives, so that was great fun. So it was a great mixture of intense acting scenes and action scenes.  

Abrams: First of all the studio required us to shoot in 3D. They said we have to do that for the economics of it. So I was really bummed because I am not a huge fan of 3D at all. So approaching this thing I went in very cynically. I knew I wanted to shoot the movie on film. I knew I wanted to shoot it anamorphically, which means we couldn’t shoot it in native 3D. But I wanted to make the version of the movie that was that was the version I wanted to make in 2D. And I thought that if we can augment it and make it even cooler in 3D, then great. Well luckily we are working with an amazing stereographer and 3D crew and we have been doing work converting the movie. There is this myth that if you do a movie that is not shot natively in 3D then it will not look as good, which is absolutely not true. The look of the movie – there are some tricks and techniques that have never been used before. And the look of this 3D is beyond what we have seen before, especially with what you can do with IMAX. The frame of the IMAX is so much bigger than the 35MM frame. The resolution is so high. In this movie all the exterior shots are done in IMAX, whether filmed or rendered if it is a CG shot. So the cool thing there you have this massive scale plus the 3D. It is really going to be a cool experience for the audience.

The studio required it be shot in 3D? For the economics of it? I would have told them to piss off and shot it how I wanted. Seriously, I've always considered 3D more of an art form that is reserved for horror (or that's how much of 3D was done years ago) and I really don't know if it's all that it's cracked up to be anyway. I wonder how sales of 3D tv's are doing? I don't want to see Trek in 3D at all.
