\"oealve\"<\/a>Comme vous vous en doutiez, je n’ai pas eu la chance d’assister \u00e0 la projection du DCP de Jaws 3D<\/strong> en compagnie de trois des principaux responsables: Joe Alves<\/strong>, Carl Gottlieb<\/strong> et Rupert Hitzig<\/strong>. D\u00e9j\u00e0, le vol Metz-Hollywood<\/em> co\u00fbte un oeil! Et puis, quand il s’agit d’avion, je rentre en mode Barracuda from the A-Team<\/em>! Seule solution pour vous tenir au courant de l’actualit\u00e9 Jaws 3D<\/strong>: piller les articles parus sur internet \u00e0 gauche, \u00e0 droite (en particulier celui du journaliste Ben Kenber<\/strong>)! C’est peut-\u00eatre pas tr\u00e8s glorieux mais c’est toujours mieux qu’un coup de pied aux fesses! Alors, est-ce que nos trois intervenants se sont montr\u00e9s bavards? Une chose est s\u00fbre, la question de la tr\u00e8s mauvaise r\u00e9ception critique de ce troisi\u00e8me volet il y a 30 ans n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 abord\u00e9e pendant ce Q&A. Mauvais point.<\/p>\n

\"gottlieblich\"<\/a>Impossible de parler de ce Jaws 3D<\/strong> sans faire r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au National Lampoon’s JAWS 3 PEOPLE O <\/strong>et Jaws’81<\/strong>… Et c’est Joe Alves<\/strong> qui s’y colle avec un discours parfaitement rod\u00e9: \u00ab\u00a0They really didn’t want to make Jaws<\/strong> and we fought to get that made. They tried to stop it four times. Jaws 2<\/strong>, after they fired the first director, they closed it down and Verna Fields<\/strong> and I had to convince Ned Tanen<\/strong> (then President of Universal Studios) that we should go ahead and make it. And then here comes the third one, and they think so much of their biggest movie that they title it Jaws 3, People 0<\/strong> which means they are making fun of their most successful film.\u00a0Fields<\/strong>, who later became Vice President of Universal Studios, contacted me and told me that, since Brown<\/strong> and Zanuck<\/strong> left, the rights to Jaws<\/strong> were sold to Alan Landsburg<\/strong>, a television producer best known for the show That’s Incredible<\/strong> and that he was making a mess of everything. Fields<\/strong> asked me to talk with Landsburg<\/strong> which I did, and Landsburg<\/strong> offered me the chance to produce the sequel. But having worked 100 days as a Second Unit Director on Jaws 2<\/strong> I was far more interested in directing it. But the conversation became very interesting when Landsburg<\/strong> told me of what his plans were for this sequel.<\/em>
\n \u00ab\u00a0I said you have to think about making a big shark,\u00a0\u00bb I told Landsburg<\/strong>. \u00ab\u00a0And he said, ‘oh no, no, no, no, no. I just want to use real sharks from what I have from That’s Incredible <\/strong>and mechanical people. So that’s how great the thinking was when this production started.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

\"rupert\"<\/a>\u00ab\u00a0Then, I went to visit various aquatic parks for research and I came across an underwater exhibit that was in 3D (the movie <\/em>SeaDreams<\/strong>). I thought it was great and loved the depth of the technology that was being used. After exiting the exhibit, I started to think about the possibilities of filming <\/em>Jaws 3\u00ab\u00a0in 3D.<\/em><\/strong>
\n With <\/em>Jaws 3-D<\/strong> you accomplish two things. You take the onus off the third because there were very few thirds back then… I think Rocky III<\/strong> was the only one at the time (et <\/em>Halloween III<\/strong>?). And then you introduce a fresh look at it (the franchise). I went home and did a shark drawing in 3D and I took it to Landsburg<\/strong> and to Sid Sheinberg<\/strong>, and he looked at it and said, ‘can I have this?’ I said ‘Sid, you’re President. You can have whatever you want! I just got to show it to Lew Wasserman<\/strong> first. I got the directing job and that’s how it started.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

\"rujoe\"<\/a>Pour les questions de sc\u00e9nario, c’est bien \u00e9videmment Carl Gottlieb<\/strong> qui s’y est coll\u00e9. Revenant dans un premier temps sur le script probl\u00e9matique de Richard Matheson<\/strong>, le sympathique Carl<\/strong> (appel\u00e9 en renfort) s’est surtout attard\u00e9 sur le tournage en Floride: \u00ab\u00a0When Joe<\/strong> and Rupert<\/strong> came on, they all agreed on me. I had done the other two under difficult circumstances, and they said ‘can you do it again?’ So off I went to Florida and looked at Sea world, surveyed the situation and thought ‘yes I can do the script.'\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>
\n Once everything was ready to go, the cast and crew proceeded to Orlando, Florida to film Jaws 3-D<\/strong>… The only food down there was \u00ab\u00a0deep fried, refried or just fried! Making the movie proved to be challenging not only because they were filming in 3D, but also due to the fact that the filmmakers were dealing with water and a big shar<\/em>k\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"pane\"<\/a>Impossible donc de parler du film sans rappeler les difficult\u00e9s inh\u00e9rentes \u00e0 la troisi\u00e8me dimension… Joe Alves<\/strong> pr\u00e9cise: \u00ab\u00a0We worked with one film and not two cameras. You take and split 35 mm film one way that you have a proportion that is really difficult to compose. A shark is very difficult to get out into the audience because it has a dorsal fin. If you cut the dorsal fin off, you could float it right into the audience. You could take a snake through it, but as soon as something hits that frame it jumps back. So the shark could come out as far as the dorsal fin and that was it.<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb Des soucis techniques d\u00e9j\u00e0 mentionn\u00e9s par Joe<\/strong> dans la presse de l’\u00e9poque (fangoria, Starlog<\/em>)…<\/p>\n

\"signethe\"<\/a>Il est toujours question de technique quand le jusqu’\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent tr\u00e8s discret Rupert Hitzig<\/strong> prend enfin la parole: \u00ab\u00a0This film was so different because we were so awed by the concept of 3D, but you only see in 3D those frames that work. You don’t see the ones that don’t work. Now there is a point of convergence, and the two lenses of the camera have to be put into convergence. So if I’m focusing on you and you’re in vertical in the back, then I’m focused on you but you’re gonna be two images in the back. Joe<\/strong> had to watch out that there were no verticals in the back because they were going to be too strong. So we go to the motel room in Orlando and we would be watching the movie and going ‘that shot is beautiful’ and ‘oh no!’ Our eyes would go cross eyed or walleyed and we ducked to the floor. Nobody was looking at the performances. So after the third week, I put a sign in the motel room that said \u00ab\u00a0just when you thought it was safe to open your eyes – Jaws 3-D!<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jawsoled\"<\/a>Pas particuli\u00e8rement fan de 3D, Carl Gottlieb<\/strong> se confie:\u00a0\u00bbI haven’t seen it\u00a0 in 30 years and I’m looking forward to it. Every 3D movie is an experience, and sometimes I like to see them twice: once in 3D to have the stuff whizzing by, and a second time flat so that I can enjoy the story and the performances and everything else without the distractions of shooting for effects<\/em>.\u00a0\u00bb Notre ami Rupert Hitzig<\/strong> pr\u00e9f\u00e8re, quant \u00e0 lui, anticiper la possible d\u00e9ception du public en faisant preuve d’un peu de mauvaise foi quand m\u00eame (rien sur la politique de Landsburg<\/strong> sur l’ Electronic compositing<\/em> par exemple): \u00ab\u00a0Remember that its 30 years ago. We didn’t have CGI, we didn’t have video editing and everything was cut on film which was a problem with 3D. I remember in the very beginning, Sid Sheinberg<\/strong> said ‘if you can get the shark to come through the screen and land in the audience’s lap, we’ll all be rich. So try and get that shark (which was so huge) through that little screen. Instead of CGI, we had to composite on videotape and then go back to 3D which was almost an impossible technical stunt. It’s not an apology, it’s just a realization of what you’re going to see.<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"jjoealvessign\"<\/a>Alves<\/strong> rebondit en partageant une anecdote assez peu connue concernant le journaliste Gene Shalit<\/strong>: \u00ab\u00a0I had talked to him on Jaws 2<\/strong> and he wanted to know what we were doing on the third one. I was showing him the 3D stuff and was saying if it was a snake I could get it into the audience. A couple of years later I happened to be working on another movie and I saw Gene<\/strong> and he yelled over ‘it should of been a snake!<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb On sent pointer une l\u00e9g\u00e8re d\u00e9ception dans les propos du r\u00e9alisateur… Le mot de la fin appartiendra \u00e0 Carl Gottlieb<\/strong>: \u00ab\u00a0This script was typed on a typewriter. Fingers on keys, an IBM electric, clickety-clack, clickety-clack.<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb C’\u00e9tait il y a plus de 30 ans!<\/p>\n

\"jjoesign\"<\/a>Aucune vid\u00e9o de cet \u00e9change n’est apparue sur la toile… C’est bien \u00e9videmment dommage de passer \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 d’un tel document. La prochaine projection\/Q&A de Jaws 3D<\/strong> aura lieu dans quelques jours. Le tout sera film\u00e9 dans un but historique. Le pr\u00e9sident de ce festival 3D m’a assur\u00e9 qu’il ferait le maximum pour m’obtenir des photographies de l’\u00e9v\u00e8nement… Pour la vid\u00e9o, c’est mort. Inutile de me demander!<\/p>\n

Vivement en tout cas que ce DCP soit disponible sur le territoire fran\u00e7ais afin que les fans de l’hexagone puissent enfin en profiter!
