London, Apr 24 (ANI): James Cameron has said that adding 3D effects to ‘Clash Of The Titans’ was a “stupid” decision.

And disappointed with the visuals, the ‘Avatar’ director has called for movie bosses to put together a special organisation to regulate the quality of 3D films.

The director embraced the technique while making his hugely successful sci-fi epic Avatar, and since then he’s been championing 3D movies.

But now, he is convinced industry officials need to form a new organisation to publicise and protect 3D films, because poor quality effects will harm the new genre.

“What I’d love to do is put together some kind of a forum with the DGA (Directors Guild of America), let’s say, and maybe the ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) and we’d have to do it in Canada, too. I think some quality standards do need to be discussed. I think the studios and big distribution companies need to be included in that dialogue. Let’s not do stupid stuff that’s going to hurt this burgeoning marketplace,” the Daily Express quoted Cameron as saying.

And using the ‘Clash Of The Titans’ remake as an example, Cameron said that movie bosses behind the film delayed its release so they could add 3D effects at the last minute.

“They worked against themselves with that film. I’ve heard people say that they couldn’t watch (Clash of the Titans) in 3D and thought it looked better in 2D and they enjoyed the film more. I haven’t seen the film, so I don’t want to say too much, but I heard from enough sources that it was borderline unwatchable. And I have to say, I predicted that. When they said they were going to try to convert it to 3D in seven weeks, I said it’s not possible. You can’t do it. You can slap a 3D label on it and call it 3D, but there’s no possible way that it can be done up to a standard that anybody would consider high enough,” he added. (ANI)
