Guillermo del Toro Is Converting ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ to 3D Without AI
The days of every big Hollywood blockbuster being released in 3D are over and, frankly, good riddance. In almost every single case in the past, when you saw a new movie in 3D, it felt like a cash grab, didn’t add anything at all, and soured most of us on the experience as a whole. But there are filmmakers out there who still believe in the process and know how to use it to their advantage.
