3D Porn | Made in Hong Kong
By Justin Ko
With the advent of widespread use of 3D technology in films, and recently in television through Samsung's 3DTV, it certainly seems that the 3D trend would soon infiltrate every form of visual media. The option to shoot and distribute a video or film in 3D has been heralded as a radical new approach in the moviegoer experience, with everything from comedies to horror films to epic science fiction thrillers being converted to 3D experiences.
But in May of 2010, a group of Hong Kong filmmakers began creating a 3D production in a genre which by all accounts has thus far remained untapped- the pornographic film industry.
According to the Sunday Morning Post, the 3.2 million-US-dollar film, entitled 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, which is set for release in May, has already generated interest in a host of Asian film markets, as well as European and American film markets.
The pornographic film industry, like the film industry in general, has had steadily flagging profits and ailing box office numbers over recent years, mostly due to the prevalence of pirated DVD's and file sharing networks.
The Hong Kong filmmakers believe that by making the transition to 3D will inject new life and income into their genre, just as it has with Hollywood movies.
The Morning Post reported that the erotic film will be loosely based on a piece of classical Chinese erotic literature, The Carnal Prayer Mat.
Additionally, the movie will star Japanese adult actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Har, and will supposedly chronicle the story of a young man who, after being introduced to the erotic world of a duke, realises his ex-wife is the love of his life.
The fact that the first 3D pornographic film is being made in Hong Kong is ironic, since censors from China are nearly guaranteed to block the movie's screening in mainland theaters. Producer Stephen Shiu, however, remained unperturbed, stating that "we are almost closing deals with some markets including Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and pay TV channels in Hong Kong."
