3D porn film Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy is about to open in Hong Kong and has already sold thousands of tickets, with people preparing to travel from mainland China to see it.

Billed as the world’s first 3D adult movie, writer and producer Stephen Shiu promises ‘very graphic sex scenes’.
We first reported that the film had begun shooting two years ago – now it’s due to hit cinema screens next week, in Taiwan as well as Hong Kong.
Reports suggest that thousands of Chinese people from the mainland have snapped up tickets because they won’t be able to see an uncut version at their local cinema. There are even reports of tour groups being set up to bus people to screenings.
Shiu said that those who watch it will ‘feel like they are sitting right there at the edge of the bed’.
Set in the court of the Ming dynasty, the £2m Cantonese language film is based on the classic Chinese erotic text The Carnal Prayer Mat and is essentially a reworking of 1991 cult classic Sex And Zen, made by Shiu’s father. It stars two Japanese actors – Saori Hara and Yukiko Suho – as well as Hong Kong’s Vonnie Lu and is directed by Christopher Sun.
Even though 3D films are very expensive to make, some are predicting that Sex And Zen will lead to more 3D porn movies being filmed. We’ve already had a 3D version of Hustler’s porn parody This Ain’t Avatar XXX and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Tinto Brass is planning to remake Caligula in three dimensions.
