If I could think of anyone’s ultimate adult fantasy I would have to say it would be 3D porn. A director names Tinto Brass has announced plans to make the world’s first 3D xxx film.
He plans to revisits an abandoned project about a Roman emperor that was ruined by Americans, suggesting that the film will be a remake of Caligula.
The 1979 film which starred Helen Mirren was a collaboration between Brass and the Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione. It also starred the late John Gielgud and Peter O’Toole.
A US author names Gore Vidal, who wrote the original script, was very prominent on distancing himself from the infamous film, that he even took legal action and had his name removed from the project.
The film will be surrounded around the “ride” and fall of Roman Emperor Gaius Caesar Germanicus, also known as Caligula, played by british actor Malcolm McDowell. Rumor has it, the original scrip comes from a bastardized version of Anthony Burgess’s (of Clockwork Orange fame) “KIngdom of the Wicked,” originally inked for a TV mini-series.
When it came to the final cut of the film, Italian director Brass and Guccione had a falling our over the final cut because Gucionne secretly added a number of explicit sexual scenes in post-production. He went on to defend his decision by saying that he wanted to film to reflect the reality of pagan Rome.
After there was such an uproar over the film’s xxx rated scenes and explicit content, an edited version was produced. Both versions can be found and are available on DVD.
The 3D version, which will only be directed by Brass, will be the first 3D film made in Italy and will begin shooting
