Shooting will begin in April on what's being billed as the world's first 3-D erotic film, according to its producer
Stephen Shiu Jr., chairman of One Dollar Production, says 3D Sex and Zen will push the envelope content-wise while helping thwart piracy.
"Just imagine that you'll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed," he told the South China Morning Post. "There will be many close-ups. It will look as if the actresses are only a few centimeters from the audience."
The porn move is only natural as filmmakers like DreamWorks Animation's Jeffrey Katzenberg hail new 3-D technology as Hollywood's savior. DreamWorks is producing all its upcoming animated movies in 3-D, starting with Monsters vs. Aliens, which is set for a March 27 release.
3D Sex and Zen, with a reported budget of $3.9 million, is a sequel to 1991's Sex and Zen, which was based loosely on 17th-century Chinese book The Carnal Prayer Mat by Li Yu.
