The third installment of JACKASS from Paramount Pictures and MTV Films will hit theaters on October 15, 2010, this time in eye-popping 3D. Johnny Knoxville and the boys will begin shooting in late January with Dickhouse Production’s Jeff Tremaine at the helm and producing alongside Spike Jonze and Knoxville.

The addition of 3D to the new film will raise the mayhem factor to new heights, promises star/producer Johnny Knoxville. “We’re going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in AVATAR and stick it up Steve O’s butt. We’re taking stupid to a whole new dimension.”

2002’s “Jackass: The Movie” earned more than more than $64 million and was heralded as “a disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle, but also hilarious and provocative. God help me, thumbs up” by esteemed critic Richard Roeper. Released in 2006, “Jackass: Number Two” earned over $72 million and was heralded by The New York Times as being “debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies.

Jackass 3D hits theaters October 15th, 2010.

According to online reports, ‘Jackass’ star and pro-skateboarder Bam Margera was hospitalized in Pennsylvania yesterday for what was first believed to be a suspected drug overdose, according to online reports.

TMZ.com has reported that Margera was rushed to the hospital from his in West Chester, PA at around 1.30pm on Sunday when local paramedics responded to a 911 call for a “possible overdose.”

Since the initial report, April Margera (Bam’s mother) called into Philly radio station WMMR to clarify why a 911 call for a “possible overdose” was made for Bam yesterday.

His mother explained that Bam had been filming for the MTV show “Nitro Circus” and had become “severely dehydrated.”

Bam Margera is the creator, producer, director & star of the hit MTV show Viva La Bam. He’s also the co-creator and co-star of MTV’s Jackass and Jackass: The Movie. In addition to his other ventures, Margera hosts “Radio Bam” on Sirius XM.

He recently directed a video for Finnish gothic metallers The 69 Eyes. The video, “Dead Girls Are Easy”, can be viewed online at www.playboy.com.

The band’s Roadrunner Records debut, Carver City, was released on May 19, 2009. The album’s release was preceded by critical accolades from top publications such as Entertainment Weekly, which dubbed the album “…melodic with interesting production” and spotlighted Carver City’s visually arresting cover art. Additionally, Alternative Press awarded the album a four-star rating and called out the band’s “epic textures,” “trademark guitar tone” and stated that the album was “full of “multiple standouts.” Meanwhile, Revolver proclaimed that the band is “stronger than ever, with 11 potent, ambitious songs” and that Carver City is a worthwhile endeavor.

The band recently shot a video for “A#1 Roller Rager,” directed by MTV personality Bam Margera, which will premiere this Friday at www.roadrunnerrecords.com.
