MS: As the director of \u201cJaws 3-D,\u201d was the original concept of the film to be presented in 3-D or was that developed later?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

JA: I was in Japan working on a film called \u201cThe Ninja\u201d for Zanuck\/Brown. Marvin Davis bought 20th Century Fox studios, it was a Fox movie, and ended up canceling most of the films that hadn\u2019t started shooting. So I came back to Hollywood and Verna Fields (the Oscar-winning film editor of \u201cJaws,\u201d later an executive at Universal) called me and said, \u201cyou know, they\u2019re doing \u201cJaws 3\u2033 and they\u2019re making a mess. They\u2019ve got a dumb script and Zanuck\/Brown don\u2019t want anything to do with it. I really think you should get involved. They\u2019ve got a TV producer who bought the rights doing it.\u201d So I went to see Alan Landsburg and he asked if I wanted to produce it. I said no, I\u2019d already done that. I directed 100 days of the 2nd unit on \u201cJaws 2\u2033 and I\u2019d be interested in directing it. He said he\u2019d think about it and asked if I\u2019d work with Richard Matheson, the writer, and see what develops. Richard and I were scouting theme parks because the film was written with a Sea World type theme park environment. And while we were at a park in Florida we saw an exhibit of underwater 3-D photography. And I just loved it, the depth of it. It really bothered me that we were doing a \u201c3.\u201d There weren\u2019t really a lot of \u201c3\u2019s\u201d out there, maybe \u201cRocky III,\u201d people weren\u2019t as gracious to sequels at that time, which has really changed in recent years. Then it just hit me\u2026JAWS\u20263\u2026D. That would take the onus off of the \u201c3.\u201d So I made a sketch of the shark coming at us and put \u201c3-D\u201d around it and he liked it and said to take the idea to Sid Sheinberg (the head of Universal at the time). Sid said \u201cthis is great, let me show it to Wasserman (Universal\/MCA big man Lew Wasserman). So now Universal was very interested in the project. So now I\u2019m going to direct it and I discover that there is no new 3-D equipment\u2026nothing since \u201cBwana Devil\u201d in the 1950s. So we had to make new cameras. So, no, it didn\u2019t start off as \u201cJaws 3-D.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Au sujet de l’utilisation de la 3D, d’autres sources affirment que le projet aurait surtout \u00e9t\u00e9 motiv\u00e9 par les bobines test du remake du Creature of the Black lagoon<\/strong> comme peut en t\u00e9moigner cette interview de John Landis<\/strong> datant de 2005.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0I almost did a remake of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. This is a terrible story. I was going to produce it, Jack was going to direct it, we were going to shoot it in 3-D, Rick Baker was going to design the Creature. We had a very good script written by Nigel Kneale. I thought it should be in 3-D, and I started experimenting with all of the different 3-D processes \u2013 and the good one really is the Polaroid one. So, we shot a test with a Playboy Plamate \u2013 I think her name was Gig Gangel \u2013 in Steven Spielberg\u2019s swimming pool. And it was incredible! Naked girl swimming in Spielberg\u2019s pool, and we had a monster hand [reaching for her]. So, we show the test to Sid Scheinberg, who\u2019s running Universal at the time, and Sid got all excited. He said, \u201cOh, this is fantastic, but we shouldn\u2019t do this with the Creature, we should do it with\u2026 JAWS 3-D!!!\u201d And that was the end of that; they made that piece of shit. And then they also used a different process! I sold him on the Polaroid because of how good it looked, but he used the cheaper, shitty [process].\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
