China All Aquiver Over 3D IMAX Porn

Sexciting things are abreast on the skinternational front, with filmmakers in Hong Kong preparing for the splashy theatrical release of 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, a big-budget titty flick being touted as the world's first 3D IMAX porn.

The film is based on the 1991 "Category III" (that's Chinese for "X") erotic film Sex and Zen, an adult comedy set in China's mythical past that combines the high-flying acrobatics of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with the uninhibited humping of late-night Skinemax.

Writer and producer Steven Shiu said that the film is an experience that will blow your mind as well as your load: he says the "very graphic sex scenes" will "leave audiences feeling like they are sitting right there at the edge of the bed."

The film stars Japanese "AV" (adult video) stars Saori Hara and Yukiko Suho and Chinese softcore sexpot Vonnie Lui as the horniest courtesans in ancient China baring all three B's on a series of elaborately outfitted sets. Shiu promises group sex, oral sex, sadomasochism, and religious sexstasy.

The party poopers at mainland China's censorship board don't look kindly upon excessive displays of skin, so 3d Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy will most likely be heavily cut for its release on the mainland. But NPR reports that five travel groups from mainland China have booked horny holidays in Hong Kong specifically to see the movie, and advance ticket sales of the film show up to 100,000 people may make the trek.

No word yet on whether 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy will be released in the US, but if the film is a success in Asia- it it looks like it will be- hopefully it will skinspire Western filmmakers to do the same. 3D remake of Deep Throat, anybody?
