J.J. Abrams on Converting 'Star Trek 2' to 3D: 'I Didn't Want to Do It'
Hello! This is my first actual post here, so I'm a bit unsure how to go through with this.
[...] Abrams said that he actually "didn't want" to convert the film but the result of 3D test for the first movie has eventually convinced him to do the conversion.
"I did not fight for the 3D. It was something that the studio wanted to do, and I didn't want to do it," he shared. "And then, when I saw the first movie converted in sections, I thought that it actually looked really cool."
"So, I was okay with their doing it, as long as I could shoot the movie the way I wanted to, in anamorphic film, and then let them convert it," the 45-year-old filmmaker went on explaining. "So, those who want to see it in 3D, which looked pretty cool, can do it, and those that want to see it in 2D can do that too."

Seems like everyone wins, 3-D lovers and us 2-D lovers can see the much anticipated, sexy sequel either way.
