Johnny Knoxville had the intention of an extended version of Jackass 3D at the DVD release, but now with its very successful opening weekend it seems they are going to pre-emptively double dip at the theaters, bringing out another Jackass film by Christmas that wont really be a sequel to to Jackass 3D (because we woudln’t want to mess with Canon) but instead be Jackass 3.5.
We shot two movies’ worth of footage. We have so many bits that we never even turned in to Paramount because we were so swamped with ideas — funny stuff. The bits were just coming out of us left and right.
This isn’t the first time Knoxville has said this either. He made similar claims to MTV prior to Jackass 3-D‘s release, saying of the footage, “That’ll be in ‘[Jackass] 3.5,’ coming out at Christmas.”
No doubt, other acts of depravity are already in the works for a Jackass 4, but strike while the iron is hot. I quite expect there to be separate DVD releases of 3 and 3.5, followed by a deluxe box set with the pair included.
Will you be returning for more Jackass that soon after?
