Hiro Hayama is my hero!

There's been a lot of buzz about the announcement of a new remake of classic 1991 Category 3 Hong Kong Erotic film 'Sex and Zen'(3D肉蒲團)... the new version is called 'Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstasy'... and yes... it is being filmed in 3D!Here's some video from a promo event.  You'll recognize Hayama Hiro(葉山豪)and Tony Ho, two of our alivenotdead.com friends! I'm told a few other alivenotdead.com friends will be taking roles too (no, thankfully not Simon Yin!)  The actresses include our friend Vonnie Lui (雷凱欣) and some well known Japanese AV actresses, including Hara Saori(原紗央莉).  This is the most clothed photo I could find of Saori online:Here's their part of the press con:I actually I have a really funny story of watching the original in a movie theater in Berkeley in 1993... which I'll save for another time.  Needless to say I'm hoping I get invited to the premiere of this remake. :-PFinally, an English article from Yahoo-HONG KONG (AFP) – A group of Hong Kong filmmakers have started shooting what they claim will be the world's first 3D pornographic film, a report said Sunday.

The 3.2 million-US-dollar '3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy', set for release in May, has already generated interest in a host of Asian film markets, as well as Europe and the US, the Sunday Morning Post reported.

Loosely based on a piece of classical Chinese erotic literature, The Carnal Prayer Mat, the movie will star Japanese adult actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Hara, the Post said.

The film chronicles the storyofayoungman who, after being introduced to the erotic world of a duke, realises his ex-wife is the love of his life and features "orgies, swinging and some very graphic sex scenes", the paper said.

Producer Stephen Shiu acknowledged that censors would likely block the movie's screening in mainland China, a key market for Hong Kong filmmakers.

"(But) we are almost closing deals with some markets including Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and some payTVchannels in Hong Kong," Shiu told the paper.

Italian director Tinto Brass has announced he would produce a 3D remake of his 1979 erotic film Caligula, while Hustler plans to release a pornographic spoof of 3D science fiction film Avatar, the top-grossing movie of all time which has earned some 2.7 billion US dollars worldwide since its release.Tags: 3D肉蒲團記招  雷凱欣 周防雪子 原紗央莉 葉山豪 Sex and Zen 3D
