In this interview after Spy Kids-3D's release, Robert Rodriguez discussed 3D and where it's appropriate.
Why did you choose to make this latest Spy Kids film in 3D?
I thought why not? They re-released "House of Wax" on 3D
when I was a kid, and it was just a whole different experience seeing
the movie. I remember hearing the audience scream because things seemed
to be coming out of the screen and I wanted to give that to kids who'd
never gotten that experience before. There really hadn't been a family
movie made which everyone could go see that utilised this technology.
There have been some dodgy efforts in 3D before though. It requires the right story to really make it work doesn't it?
I thought if you took the idea of 3D and made it part of
the story, you could do something different. Instead of throwing things
at the audience occasionally, you could use it to pull the audience into
the screen. We go to the cinema to be transported into the movie, but
usually you're left sitting there looking at the screen as a spectator.
Here, when the character puts on his glasses, the audience puts on their
glasses too and they're in that world with them. That's as close to a
virtual reality experience as you can get.
