Movie News: Jackass 3D Coming Soon.

Jackass 3D

Is it possible for a technology to “Jump the Shark?” While watching Avatar in Imax 3d, I kept thinking wow this is going to change movie making as we know it. What 3D film could possibly top this? (I’m being sarcastic). Now I know, it’s Jackass in 3D. I know all of you fans of the first few Jackass movies thought, wow, if only I could actually be completely immersed in this world, that would be off the hook! Now you get your wish.  Jackass 3D starts production in January and will hit the theaters October 15, 2010. Check out the Full Press Release.

The third installment of JACKASS from Paramount Pictures and MTV Films will hit theaters on October 15, 2010, this time in eye-popping 3D. Johnny Knoxville and the boys will begin shooting in late January with Dickhouse Production’s Jeff Tremaine at the helm and producing alongside Spike Jonze and Knoxville.

The addition of 3D to the new film will raise the mayhem factor to new heights, promises star/producer Johnny Knoxville.  “We’re going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in AVATAR and stick it up Steve O’s butt. We’re taking stupid to a whole new dimension.”

2002’s “Jackass: The Movie” earned more than more than $64 million and was heralded as “a disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle, but also hilarious and provocative. God help me, thumbs up” by esteemed critic Richard Roeper. Released in 2006, “Jackass: Number Two” earned over $72 million and was heralded by The New York Times as being “debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies.
