You'd want to be paid a LOT to spend that much time in New Zealand...

An alternative is that guy that did District 9. Jackson picked him to the Halo movie, which got canned and then turned into D9. He seems like he could do it, with Jackson's help.

You dont need to watch a 2 hour movie to know what the soap opera effect is when the frame rate is too high.
I have TrueMotion on my Sony TV, I turned it off immediately because it looks ridiculous. Ive not read 1 report from CinemaCon that said it looks great.
Im sure the movie itself will be good, but how it looks, totally different story.
- i'll watch a ripped 720 before it's released anyway. so will most viewers.sine

I definitely have seen this effect up close on many films. It's hard to explain if u haven't, but it's very noticible and does affect how you may feel about what you are watching. I called it the 'novella' look. When I saw Avatar in the novella look, I couldn't believe it. It looked like it was being broadcast live from central park. But one thing is for sure, you get used to it. The more you watch like that, the less jolting it gets.

I spent a while testing many blurays on it using the TrueMotion setting, literally like 2 weeks, and I never got used to it. It just looked weird to me all the time. Every time the camera panned or there was some fast action on the screen, it almost looked like that weird pan and scan effect. It so clearly looks processed when the framerate gets too high.
I have a feeling that Jackson had spent so long testing this and shooting the film that he's so used to it now, but I hope he is isn't surprised people are reacting negatively to it. You can't expect someone to just like this effect or force themselves to get used to something that doesn't look good to them.
Even if more directors do this, there will always be those traditional guys like Chris Nolan or the Coen brothers who will never use this. Like I said with the album/cassette comparison, they still make vinyls because there are so many people that still love it. 24fps films are never going away, thank god.
- Im starting to look at Jackson as a technology whore like Lucas and Cameron. Just shoehorn all the latest shit in.CygnusZero4
- Sorry I said TrueMotion, on the Sony its called MotionFlow.CygnusZero4

He added back story and other related info from the various Tolkien appendices. 125 pages worth of lore that is part of the story but not directly in the Hobbit book. I am sure two, 2ish hour movies would have been fine, but the studios likely wanted more money and said three normal length movies would be great. Please, as we have no original ideas and can only makes movies about old books and comics.
