3-D Cinema: A New Dimension

March 24, 2009 Brian Yuzna, the managing director with Jakarta-based Komodo Films, has produced all the screen adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft's popular horror series, and now he's hoping to breathe new life into the medium with a slate of low-budget horror and science fiction films made with stereoscopic 3-D technology. Yuzna is one of an increasing number of filmmakers in Asia who, despite a significant bump in production costs and a troubled global economy, is embracing 3-D technology. Komodo has three stereoscopic films set to be shot during the next 18 months: "Amphibious," about a giant sea scorpion, to be directed by Yuzna, will start shooting in April; the sci-fi pic "Necronauts," based on a novel by Terry Bisson, and "Cold Blooded," a film about man-eating komodo dragons threatening stranded vacationers on an island.
