Variety.com has just confirmed that both Zombieland 2 and Jackass 3 will be in 3D:
“Everyone had fun watching (the first) ‘Zombieland’; making it a more visceral experience can only make it better,” said the film’s producer Gavin Polone. “I don’t think you want to see ‘Ordinary People’ in 3-D. But ‘Zombieland’ is clearly one movie that will benefit from (the technique).”
Furthermore, most people watch movies on their TVs. Polone noted that the first 3D TVs are set to hit the market in the spring, which will make 3D films even more desirable.
Sony has closed deals with Polone and helmer Ruben Fleischer to return for a sequel to the original, which cost $24 million and has earned $85.2 million worldwide to date (“Zombieland” has only opened in a few territories overseas). The Culver City studio is currently in talks with stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg to reprise their roles as a pair of post-apocalyptic survivors. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are working on the sequel’s screenplay.
Par and MTV Films are even further along with “Jackass 3,” with filming scheduled to begin Jan. 25. The studio has carved out a spot on its 2010 slate for the latest “Jackass,” which will star Johnny Knoxville. The low-brow franchise has been something of a cash cow for the studio with the first two films — which together cost $16.5 million — raking in a combined $164.1 million worldwide.
I can’t wait to see Johnny Knoxville’s balls stapled to his legs in 3D.
