World’s First 3D Sex Film To Be Made

A Hong Kong filmmaker aims to lure audiences back to the cinema with what he says is the world’s first 3D erotic film. Stephen Shiu Jnr, chairman of One Dollar Production, said he would use special effects to make the love scenes in his $4 million ‘3D Sex and Zen’ as realistic as possible.“The 3D erotica will probably be the world’s first,” he said. “Just imagine that you’ll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed.” The film is based loosely on the 17th century Chinese erotic classic ‘The Carnal Prayer Mat,’ a tale about how overindulgence in pleasure can lead to tragedy. Shiu said that about 25 to 30 percent of the movie would be love scenes, including many close-ups.He said the actresses would appear to be only a few centimentres (inches) from the viewers, who would have to wear special glasses to enjoy the 3D effects. The producer said he was planning to use adult video actresses from Japan and Taiwan. But he admitted having difficulties in finding the male lead.
