Production on the world's first 3D porn film is scheduled to begin later this year.
Sex And Zen, which is based on a 17th century erotica tale, will start filming in Hong Kong in April with a slated December release date, reports Variety Asia.
The film's producer Stephen Shiu Jr. reportedly hopes that making the movie in 3D will help lure audiences back to the cinema by preventing piracy.
"The 3D erotica will probably be the world's first. Just imagine that you'll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed," he is quoted as telling the Sunday Morning Post.
Shiu described the $3.9 million movie as a tale of how excess can lead to tragedy, adding that about 25% of the film will be love scenes which viewers can enjoy by wearing special 3D glasses.
However, he admitted that he is having trouble finding a male lead willing to strip off on film, saying: "It's a lot more difficult to find an actor than an actress for this kind of movie."
