Avatar did help us in making Titanic 3D: Jon Landau

Highlights

  • Hollywood Producer Jon Landau, who is all set to re-release Titanic in 3D next month, feels his three-dimensional experience of Avatar helped a lot in churning out the latest offering.
  • "Avatar did help us in some way. Your next project always relies on the experience of the previous one. You try and take what you learnt in the past," Jon told reporters here after the screening of the 3D version of Titanic.
  • "Avatar helped us in a way when to reduce 3D, where to emphasise, where to focus, at which moment," he said.
  • The Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet starrer would release in 3D in India on April 5 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
  • The producer also feels that filmmakers are shying away from making 3D movies.
  • "After Avatar it went all into pitfall as studios were showing interest into making a 3D film rather than filmmakers. Filmmakers did not embrace it," he said.
  • Talking about the format, Jon said, "3D does not make a bad movie good. It makes the storyline. The movie is more interesting to watch, it makes it more appealing for the audience to see. We want to give audience a better experience. Our intention is to expose audience to newer things."
  • The 3D version of Titanic was made at a budget of $18 million in 60 weeks, the producer informed.
