Sony Pictures Animation will be jumping on the three-dimensional 3-D train in short order:
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" will be Sony Picture Animation's first stereoscopic 3-D digital release.
"Food falling from the sky lends itself so well to 3-D," said Bob Osher, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Digital Production division.
This picture has been in development for some little while now, going through cast changes and more cast changes. I know the story crew has been remolding it to the hearts desires of Sony execs, and that the people on it would like to see it get made.
Sometime.
Looks as though (now?) it will.

Wasn't Beowulf the first on the three-dimensional 3-D train?
Polar Express was released in 3D IMAX and for my money was the only way to see that movie...
(Let the "I see dead people" comments commence)

The first 3-D Stereoscopic movie from Sony Pictures Animation was their first film, "Open Season," in 2006. It was made in IMAX 3-D. Imageworks, which handles the digital production for Sony Pictures Animation and other clients, did "Polar Express" in IMAX, and digital 3-D editions of "Monster House" and "Beowulf." The writer at the Hollywood Reporter drew a distinction between the film based IMAX for "Open Season" and the digital delivery of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."
And the Steroscopic addition made all of these films have MUCH better stories...
ugh.
No jack@ss it did not make their stories better but it did make them more fun to watch.
You know its funny I worked for a studio where everything you thought of while you worked there belonged to them - and the artists bitched and whined about the stories that were being told, the lack of original ideas, and on and on and on that the studio was producing. As a result the studio changed its policy and made it possible for the artists to pitch their story ideas and retain ownership. Guess what? Very few pitched and more remarkably, none of the vocal whiners did.
Yes, I know story is KING! All hail STORY! Huzzah, but for all the sniping I see here on this blog about crappy stories I can bet that very few of those sniping have no frikkin clue how to write a good one.
"No jack@ss it did not make their stories better but it did make them more fun to watch. "
No it did not. It did not involve the audience any more. It did not make poor directorial (and "producorial(!)" choices more entertaining. It did not make the "art" look better.
It's just annoying. And will be gone in 4 years.
That's what they said 4 years ago.
If 3d isn't your taste, it isn't your taste.
Just don't go around telling people who like it that they shouldn't like it when in fact they do.
Who'm I gonna believe, you or my own eyes?
3D really helped Polar Express. It was hard to believe it was not designed for 3D.
Just another gimick to get higher ticket prices. I could care less for a visually stunning movie that stinks.
aka: Beowolf. that was one of the worst animated films I had seen in a long time.
Polar Exshit was boring and horrendous...
Monster House was boring, and horrendous...
Beolwulf was boring and horrendous
3d did not help these turds, so wake up and smell the coffe, with your 3d glasses if it helps....

I can always count of some angry posts over on the good ole TAG site. Isn't it all about jobs for you guilders? And don't these movies, although not to everyone's taste, create jobs?
Polar was a completely different movie in 3D. My kids loved it. I wasn't crazy about it, but I don't start cursing because of it. Just don't go see it.
polar stunk
monster house bit...except for the fat kid.
beowolf was the hands down worse.
Zemekis may have lost his way several films ago.
kids also loved the teletubbies,
That doesnt make the telis great!
And while it is true those three movies mentioned created jobs, these movies are, nonetheless, a big waste of valuable resources.
And, excuse me for being interested in what happens and what's current with the industry, which is the reason I go to see these movies.
