The director of hit movies such as Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers and Basic Instinct is optimistic about the future of 3D movies claiming, if done right, it could become as normal as colour. When asked whether he would like to see any part of his movie portfolio converted to 3D, he said that all sci-fi movies could potentially work as conversions…

“I think all science fiction could be converted because there are so many visuals and it is so much about the spectacle that you can do that. Science fiction is about worlds you don’t know and worlds you can create like in Avatar.” Verhoeven said.

However, he pointed out that he believes filming in native 3D is the best way to going forward …

“You have to be careful that you are not pushing the 3D extravagantly when it’s a normal drama. There is another way of looking at it but it has not been done yet so much. People have been so busy surprising the public with their 3D possibilities but there might be a way to do 3D in a very un-obvious simple way”. ..
