One of the highlights at this year's Comic-Con was getting to see the first footage from Jackass 3D. While I knew the movie was going to be special, I was unprepared for how awesome the footage would look. Here's my recap of the event. Trust me, Jackass 3D is going to print money for Paramount this October and everyone is going to be talking it once the studio releases a trailer.
Anyway, after I got to see the 8 minutes of footage, I managed to interview director Jeff Tremaine. If you're a fan of the Jackass franchise and looking forward to the 3rd installment, you'll love this interview as we covered everything! Tremaine talked about filming in 3D, what cameras they used, said the running time will be exactly 90 minutes and wants to release version 3.5 down the road, what original skits might be making a return, the opening sequence, the most challenging stunts, when did they start filming and are they done, and so much more. Hit the jump to check it out:
Also, while I usually use my Canon HD video camera for interviews, all I had was my Kodak Zi8 (it's like a flip). It's a bit more punk than we typically run, but I think it fits in with the Jackass mentality.
Jackass 3D gets released October 15. I could not be more excited. Finally, a big thank you to Jeff Tremaine for talking to me and for making what's going to be a classic film.
