'Godfather' of film Coppola unveils new 3D 'Twixt'

[Excerpt]

With “Twixt,” he continues to put his Coppola spin on moviemaking by using 3D technology in a way he hopes will be less cumbersome for audiences. Within the tale, he has placed on-screen cues telling audiences when to put on 3D glasses so they don’t have to wear them throughout the entire film.

He said that, while he enjoyed the high quality of a 3D movie like “Avatar,” he did remove his glasses at various times. His is a similar complaint of many fans of 3D movies who have experienced eye fatigue.

Coppola also gave Comic-Con fans a sort of “dress rehearsal” for an ambitious plan that will see him screen “Twixt” in various cities accompanied by live music. He will oversee the screenings much like a conductor, and “perform the film for each audience, uniquely for them,” he said.

“I want to bring life back into the movies,” Coppola announced in a rather giddy fashion to the delight of audiences.
