How “Jackass-3D” Got the Greenlight
This just in — EVERYTHING is going to be in 3D very soon. That includes the third installment of the award winning Jackass series.
According to Deadline,
“All over town, directors and studios are testing footage as they decide whether or not to go 3D. That included Jackass 3. From what I’m told, the filmmakers violated every rule that James Cameron set with Avatar, in which he used 3D to immerse an audience into his film, rather than sending projectiles out at the audience. Insiders say some of the footage displayed how Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville and cohorts doing their usual pratfalls, but the stunt that really won the day was called “The Heli-cockter.” One of the Jackass crew—I believe it was “Party Boy” Chris Pontius—tethered a remote control-operated helicopter to his penis, and sat there grinning as the copter swung in circles, flying out at the spectacle-wearing Paramount executives who green lit the film.”
I’ve seen both films in the movie theater. I had a stomach ache from laughing so hard in both. This 3D version is going to be disturbing, disgusting, and not for the faint of heart. I’ll be there opening weekend.
Release Date: October 15th, 2010
