Wowzers Cadowzers, the Chinese are doing it better, well at least in the 3D porno flick Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, a remake of the 1991 film Sex and Zen. Its predecessor still ranks as the highest-grossing Asian adult movie of all time. The premiere of Sex and Zen 3D marks itself as a pioneer: the first 3D porn in the world. The movie was banned in mainland China and its only movie screenings in Hon Kong have nearly sold out to curious movie-goers from all walks of life.
Executive producer Stephen Shiu Jr. told the Hollywood Reporter that a sequel to the film, which has been rejected by IMAX, will go ahead in production later this year. They also reported that the titillating erotic cost $3.2 million to film. The scenery and costumes are very traditional and the sex scenes have a very sensual take on lovemaking versus the American wanton gang-bang cum scenes.
Surprisingly, one movie critic, South China Morning Post film critic Paul Fonoroff, said he was underwhelmed? “Perhaps the most ironic element is the script’s ostensible moral that sincere love is more satisfying than wanton promiscuity, a concept which, if truly put into practice, would cause ticket sales to go flaccid,” he wrote. Maybe that is the message dummy.
The porno flick is based on a classic Chinese erotic text, The Carnal Prayer Mat which is about a young man whom befriends a duke and enters a world of sexual peccadilloes in the Ming dynasty,
In another part of the world, Italian director Tinto Brass, announced plans to produce a 3D remake of his 1979 erotic film Caligula, while Hustler plans to release a pornographic spoof of 3D science fiction film Avatar, the top-grossing movie of all time.
