Now that “Avatar” has become a big success, many filmmakers are reaching out to James Cameron to get a few insights into how to properly add the 3D aspect to their own movies. Such directors as Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have already sat down with Cameron, and now “Spider-Man” director Marc Webb has as well.

“Last [week] we met the director of [the next 'Spider-Man' film],” said Cameron’s producing partner Jon Landau. “[Webb] wants to do the next one in 3-D, which they’ve announced that they want to do. So, we want to try to support that as much as possible.”

This is interesting news since Cameron wrote a script for “Spider-Man” back in 1991 and this also indicated that the reboot will shoot in 3D rather than convert to 3D after production wraps.

“‘Clash of The Titans’ is coming out in 3-D; they’re converting it very hastily into 3-D. I’m not in favor if that,” said Landau. “If you want to shoot a 3-D movie, shoot it in 3-D.”

And even though Cameron previously said that the director who takes over for Sam Raimi would be getting “sloppy seconds,” he believes that Webb is the right man for the job. “Jim loved ‘(500) Days of Summer,’” Landau continued. “It’s not something that you would think is necessarily in his wheelhouse, but he really enjoyed that.”
