‘Drive Angry’ Shot in REAL 3-D, Lussier Explains Why Post-3-D is Garbage
Seriously, I’m getting super fed up with this 3-D bullsh*t. James Cameron made it so that the technology wouldn’t be a gimmick, yet all of the studios are using post-conversion processes to save money and energy. Their excuse? They don’t have the budget. My answer, so what, we should pay extra money for your sh*t product? Dimension has sh*t Piranha 3D coming out, Warner Bros. Pictures’ sh*t Clash of the Titans is now in theaters, as is Disney’s sh*t Alice in Wonderland. Keep making sh*t and watch the consumer turn their back on it. You want 3-D to succeed? DO IT RIGHT. Drive Angry 3D director Patrick Lussier talked to MTV this week about their shoot, which is the REAL DEAL (thank god). Check out what he had to say below.
“No, none of that post-conversion crap,” director Patrick Lussier tells MTV in regards to the 3-D being used on their action-thriller now filming. “This is totally shot in 3-D. We have 3-D cameras out from Paradise FX, which are working brilliantly. We’re shooting 3-D every day. We’re watching all our 3-D effects on every single shot as we shoot.”
His thoughts on all of the post-conversion crap? He says exactly what I’ve been saying, it’s no better than a pop-up book.
“The problem with conversion is that it tends to be a little pop-up-book,‘ he explains rightfully. “For “Drive Angry,” we’ve got these great cars in the film — a ’69 Charger, a ’71 Chevelle — and the lines of those cars, to try and post-convert, you’d never get all of the depth and the beauty of those machines. Shooting in 3-D, you get all the angles of the cars and you feel like you’re in it with Nic Cage behind the wheel.”
Todd Farmer’s story centers on a man (Nicolas Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
