Christopher Nolan's dim view of a Hollywood craze: 'I'm not a huge fan of 3-D' | Hero Complex | Los Angeles Times

The director of The Dark Knight is complaining that 3-D films are too… dark. Quite literally:

Nodding to the movie screen behind him, Nolan told the audience of 500 that he, literally, had a dim view of the 3-D releases he’d watched: “The truth of it is when you watch a film in here, you’re looking at 16 foot-lamberts, When you watch through any of the conventional 3-D processes you’re giving up three foot-lamberts. A massive difference. You’re not that aware of it because once you’re ‘in that world,’ your eye compensates, but having struggled for years to get theaters get up to the proper brightness, we’re not sticking polarized filters in everything.”
