Marc Dorcel Debuts 3D VOD Channel in Europe

PARIS—French producer Video Marc Dorcel has become the first adult company in the world to offer hardcore 3D as video-on-demand (VOD), thanks to a deal recently inked with French cable provider FREE.

According to the Euro version of the Hollywood Reporter, Dorcel already has more than 60 videos shot in HD 3D to prime the extra-dimensional pump, with more reportedly to be added weekly. The service will cater to various fetishes by grouping the videos into such categories as "nurses," "girls only," "fetish" and "porno chic."

Dorcel's 3D work has been produced under the auspices of French company 3DLized, which is currently involved in mainstream promotion of its service by placing video ads starring its animated character "Fitou" in French movie theaters. Some examples of 3DLized's anaglyph work can be found here and here.

While it's unclear what the exact relationship is between Dorcel and 3DLized, according to the news story at abcnews.go.com, Dorcel plans to offer 3DLIzed's 3D production services to cable operators across Europe.

Video Marc Dorcel's products are distributed here by Wicked Pictures, but there appear to be no current plans for Dorcel's 3D product to be offered in the U.S.
