Personally I agree with her and am pleased on this position. IMAX has a certain wow factor, and is a relaxing experience. It fits the contemporary feel of Bond. £D usually gives me eyestrain!
What does everyone else think?
"....Broccoli has hinted that there are currently no plans to shoot or convert future Bond films in 3D, but stated that IMAX screenings work brilliantly with the franchise.
When Screen Rant asked about the possibility of 3D, noting that it has now virtually become an expectation, she replied: "I think probably more in what you want to do.
"I think more in horror and science fiction, stuff like that. I think they're more suited to 3D than these, really. We're in IMAX, which we're very excited about and I think that experience will be great. Not quite ready for 3D yet."

being shot in 3d.
I've just remembered the masterpiece that was Piranha 3DD , 3D really helped that along.
spot on.
all too often these days films are made in 3D to make up for a crap plot or bad acting. 3D films are nothing new either, so I can't really understand all the hype. when I saw avatar in 3D, all I got was a headache from the horrible head squashing daft glasses you have to wear. plus everyone looks like joe 90. not cool, man.
digitally remastered yes, remade in 3D no. i'm glad bab's isn't interested in a 3D bond film, but I would have prefered her to say 'we don't need to rely on gimmicks just yet' with a little wink.

Just had a disturbing thought of the DAD tsunami surfing scene in 3D!!
Bond already has stunning locations, women, cars and action to please the eye. No 3D (and not much CGI) required. All IMO.
However, it's still a gimmick and would most defiantly be out of place in a bond film. In comic book films and brainless action films I see no harm in 3D. But in "real world" flicks like Bond, story should ALWAYS come first.
I couldn't agree more. I feel that Bond would be 3D right now if we were still stuck in the Brosnan era, no offence to him as I did enjoy two of his Bond films. If Die Another Day was released today I bet it would be in 3D, thank God they went down the more realistic path and cast Daniel Craig in the role. James Bond in 3D would just be ridiculous.
most successful 3d movie was ......................... The Stewardesses.
The Stewardesses
I also think that people who think of 3D as another fad are being naive. Sound, color and widescreen were all derided as fads when they first made their appearances. Yes, Hollywood has used it as a means of artificially increasing ticket prices and have traditionally been short-sighted about properly supporting and nurturing the technology. But those sensibilities have been gradually changing, especially since the release of Avatar. Its also important to remember that the top three grossing movies of all time were 3D. Seven of the top ten grossing films for 2012 were released in 3D and in just about every case at least 50% of their grosses came from 3D screenings. Film companies like Dreamworks and Pixar are also making nearly all their films in 3D now (how many CG movies are being released in 2D these days?). Noted filmmakers like Ridley Scott have embraced the medium and 3D is even finally starting to make inroads into the home (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/3d-starts-popping-up-us-380198).
As to Bond, I really don't see why 3D wouldn't be a viable option if done correctly (shot natively and by a cinematographer familiar with the technology and a director who knows how to frame his shots to take advantage of the medium). The added sense of depth that 3D affords would yield a far more immersive image and the action sequences would, if shot correctly, have far more impact.
