When Time Magazine called 3D “the future of movies,” we doubt this is what they had in mind.
But oddly, could it be a film that revives the dwindling format? The trailer for “Jackass 3D” has been unveiled — unfortunately in 2D — and exhibits all the crash, bang and debauchery we could ever wish for.
The film screened 8 minutes of footage at this year’s Comic-Con to rave reviews with the footage included in this trailer seemingly a watered down version of that. Director Jeff Tremaine told Collider there that the film will likely be exactly 90 minutes, was shot using 3D cameras for about 80% of the time which will blend together with 2D footage and will feature signature ‘Jackass’ cameos and an opening scene that supposedly is “the best one yet” and “very 3D.”
“It’s definitely a fun thing to learn and figure out and hopefully we’ll make the ultimate 3D film and no one will need to work in 3D after we’re done. We’ll destroy the format,” Spike Jonze regular Lance Bangs told us earlier. “The stuff in ‘Jackass 3D’ so far looks like a ViewMaster. It’s like candy, all the colors and levels of depth.” We can’t wait.
“Jackass 3D” hits theaters October 15th.
