«PERSONNALY I LOVED PORNO AND I BOUGHT LOTS OF IT ALL THE TIME"

Stereoscopic film technology looks set to take a fresh leap into the unknown thanks to veteran Italian director Tinto Brass. Where James Cameron's Avatar took viewers to a faraway planet, Brass plans to escort them straight to the bedroom. He is preparing what he claims will be the world's first ever 3D pornographic feature. Brass, now 76, remains best known for his sweaty 1979 epic Caligula, although he later accused producers of adding hardcore sex scenes to the movie without his consent. Yesterday he hinted that his latest project would be an overhaul of the earlier film. His intention, he said, was to "revisit an abandoned project about a Roman emperor that was ruined by Americans, and go from there". Production is due to start in May or June.
