Just yesterday I was talking about how Hollywood was on the verge of a new money gobbling trend, 3-D movies. I spoke about how the extra money that a 3-D movie brings in is too lucrative for movie studios to ignore. But there was something I forgot about.
The porn industry.
Yes, the one industry that outsells Hollywood every year. An industry with more winning films and higher audience count that Avatar will likely ever get to. The only industry that makes billions in profit, yet amazingly no one has ever seen or bought.
Well even in porn the bottom line is money. How to get more bang from an audience. How to plunge into a pocket and pull off a quick money grab. The latest answer is , 3-D.
Tinto Brass, a director best known for the 1979 film Caligula, has announced that he will make the first ever 3-D porn film. The film will deal with Romans and Americans, ever so original an idea. And you won't have to wait too long, he plans to start filming in May or June.
If this porn film gets made, and makes a profit of any amount, it will confirm the new trend. Porn always sets standards for Hollywood. The move from Beta to VHS, porn made the decision Hollywood followed. The move to DVD's, exactly the same. Ditto online movies. No one may want to speak about it, but porn is the Warren Buffett of the entertainment industry. When they make a move, the industry generally follows quickly.
So my guess about 3-D becoming the new craze in movies is even more likely than I first thought. But the concept of a 3-D porn kind of scares me. Don't think on it to hard, but there are many things I can imagine I don't want poking at my eyes. Yet, I am sure, this will make tons of money.
It's a scary world out there.
