Das Horrorgenre scheint sich eine wahre Renaissance durch stereoskopisches 3D-Kino zu erhoffen. In den nächsten Jahren befinden mit „The Hole„, The Gate„, Cabin in the Woods„, Humpty Dumpty“, „Piranha 3-D“, „Frankenweenie“ oder „Resident Evil : Afterlife“ bereits einige Filme auf dem Spielplan. Nun kommt die Tortureporn-Reihe „SAW“ mit der Ankündigung für die Fortsetzung der Franchise mit Teil 7 und 8- noch bevor Teil 6 demnächst zu Halloween in den Kinos anläuft.

Der siebte Teil wird in stereoskopischem 3D in den Kinos zu sehen sein. Und nicht etwa nachher transferiert, sondern bereits für den stereoskopischen Einsatz geplant und nativ gedreht. Collider.com hat ein Interview mit dem SAW VI-Produzenten Mark Burg und dem Co-Autoren Marcus Dunstan geführt.  Hier die Passagen rund um die Stereskopie:

Collider: Any plans to go 3-D, in the future?

Burg: For Saw 7. It’s 3-D. Absolutely.

Collider: Will that still stay within the same budget?

Burg: No. 3-D costs more money. It’s a longer prep, a longer shoot, a longer post, more expensive cameras. It costs more to shoot and it costs more to market ’cause you have to buy the glasses. It’s an extra $2 million in marketing, just because you have to buy the glasses. But, it’s worth it. I think Saw itself, just the way the films are shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie.

We saw a test that somebody did, that was a minute of Saw, that they just transferred from 2-D to 3-D, and it looked great. So, we were like, “All right, screw it. Let’s do it!” But, we’re not going to transfer it. We’re actually shooting it in 3-D. A lot of people just do the 2-D to 3-D transfer, but we want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth. We’re going to design traps to come at you. The pendulum trap that opened the last Saw movie would have been great in 3-D.

Collider: Have you determined what way the 3-D will be used? Will it be more about the depth of the film, or will you use it similarly to My Bloody Valentine 3-D?

Burg: We’re planning a lot of the movie to be through the victim’s eyes, seeing stuff as it’s coming towards them, in their point-of-view. But, I think the audience wants a couple My Bloody Valentine type moments, where the gun comes into the audience. […] We’re definitely making Saw 7. We’re starting in January, and it’s going to be in 3-D.
