Director Guillermo del Toro<\/a> is ensuring that the upcoming 3D re-release of his acclaimed film Pan\u2019s Labyrinth<\/a> remains a purely human-crafted experience. During a Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the filmmaker addressed the restoration process for the movie\u2019s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Del Toro explicitly stated that there was absolutely no AI used in the creation of the 3D version. He emphasized his commitment to traditional restoration techniques, distancing the project from the growing trend of using artificial intelligence in film production and post-production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Absolutely no goddamn AI,\u2019\u201d said Del Toro to applause. \u201cIt\u2019s much more expensive. I don\u2019t care. The thing is, what we\u2019re protecting is the beauty and the redeeming power of art.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Commitment to Traditional Craft<\/p>\n

The decision to avoid AI reflects the director\u2019s long-standing dedication to practical effects and artisanal filmmaking. By opting for traditional methods for the 3D conversion, the production team maintains the original visual integrity of the dark fantasy masterpiece. You can view the original film\u2019s details on IMDb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Anniversary Re-Release<\/p>\n

The 3D re-release of the film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on October 9. This milestone anniversary event offers fans a chance to revisit the story on the big screen with a new technical presentation, all while adhering to the director\u2019s strict standards for craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
