Producer: James Bond Films Won’t Be In 3-D 2

James Bond has been learning some new tricks — but 3-D isn’t one of them.

Producers of the spy franchise say they have no interest in a making a Bond film in 3-D. The upcoming Skyfall — starring Daniel Craig — is the first Bond film to be released since Avatar made 3-D common for blockbusters.

“3-D is fantastic for the right material, but we’re not sure Bond is the right way to go,” said producer Barbara Broccoli in a recent interview. “With our movies, there’s a lot of challenges to 3-D, particularly when you’ve got a lot of action and a lot of quick cutting.”

She added, “It has to be right for our story/ Unless you can do something as well as [Avatar], it’s probably not worth looking at.”

Wilson said there has been interest in converting some of the old Bond films into 3-D, which he called “more of a novelty.”
