Porn and 3D Together at Last
()
It was only a matter before someone took Hollywood's hottest technology, 3D, and brought it to the Valley. Today we find out that Tommy Gunn, AVN's Male Performer of the Year in 2007 not Rocky's nemesis in Rocky V, is that someone.
Gunn utilized the same technology that was seen in films like Beowulf, Journey to the Center of the Earth and most recently My Bloody Valentine 3D to bring us three dimensional porn. Because documenting the sexual escapades of pizza delivery guys, pool boys and vice presidential candidates should not be constrained to two dimensions, our hero - Mr. Gunn, took the latest Hi-Def 3D film production technology and combined it with a unique interactive experience to create "Cummin' at You 3D," the first ever "adult interactive DVD shot in stereoscopic 3D."
To some, adding another item, 3D glasses, to your already robust porn watching checklist may not sound like the best idea. If you find yourself in that camp, fear not. The film's press release points out:
Support for LAist comes from
"Recent developments in consumer electronics will allow the next generation of TVs to have three-dimensional technology built into them so that the viewer does not have to ruin their personal style by wearing unattractive cardboard glasses. The DVD will be encoded to work with these high-end 3D home theatre systems, but it will also work with a standard TV, projection, LCD or Plasma screens with the included 3D glasses."
The DVD's trailer, which is not at all safe for work (unless your job involves watching 3D porn), can be viewed here. To enjoy the trailer's 3Dness, though, you'll need to find yourself a pair of those blue/amber 3D glasses. Thanks to the Monsters vs. Aliens 3D trailer that will air during Super Bowl this Sunday, 3D glasses are readily available for the taking at your local grocery store. The irony, DreamWorks Animation indirectly has a hand in taking porn 3D.
In other 3D porn-related news, Hong Kong filmaker Stephen Shiu announced on Sunday that he would be making "the world's first pornographic movie in 3D," a $4 million flick titled "3D Sex and Zen." But Shiu doesn't even plan on shooting the film until April and has admitted that it's been hard to find a male lead "who is willing to undress in front of the camera." Shiu says, "It's a lot more difficult to find an actor than an actress for this kind of movie."
Gunn's DVD, however, is scheduled to hit shelves (shelves that are somewhere out of the reach of children, behind swinging saloon doors) sometime in March. Seems like the Hong Kong filmmaker spoke too soon on that whole, "first 3D porn" thing. USA: first to put a man on the moon, first to bring porn to 3D. USA! USA! USA!
