'Caligula' Director Set to Make World's First 3-D Porn

by Caleb Johnson on January 30, 2010 at 01:01 PM

When does 3-D technology transform from a gimmick into a full-blown trend? No, not when live sporting events are broadcast in 3-D, and not even when 'Avatar' racks-up enough money to make Bill Gates jealous. No, the technology has finally arrived in its full-frontal glory when the porn industry embraces it, and now, that day has come.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Italian director Tinto Brass said Thursday that he's ready to create the world's first 3-D porno flick. You might remember Brass from his infamous 1979 film 'Caligula,' which was set in ancient Rome and featured graphic sex scenes (incest, cheating, and a giant killing machine) that ruffled many feathers. So what's the premise behind this 3-D porn? Brass says it'll "revisit an abandoned project about a Roman emperor that was ruined by Americans, and go from there." Sounds like he'll really be stretching his creative muscles with this one. Brass says he'll write the script and cast the film as soon as possible, and he hopes to begin filming in May or June. (Gore Vidal, feel up to the task?)

Not only would this be the first 3-D porno, but it'd be the first 3-D movie of any kind made in Italy. Italians always do know how to do a movie right. Where America put its 3-D stock in an overblown film about blue people on another planet, Brass sticks to a subject that will surely endure time -- erotic, ancient Romans having crazy sex in 3-D.
