Not since Leaving Las Vegas has a film about death-by-consumption hit so hard. Mark Pellington’s I Melt With You mimics the debauchery of Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas and The Hangover so it’s not for the faint of heart. There is vomiting. There are massive amounts of pills and booze, foul sexual jokes and enough cocaine to make Charlie Sheen blush.

When Thomas Jane, Mark Pellington, Rob Lowe, and Jeremy Piven made the junket rounds to promote their new film, I Melt With You, the conversation took an interesting turn.

At the end of the new Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World trailer, it says the film will be in 4-D. What does this mean for audiences? Often considered spacetime by nerds, it can also be odors in the theatrical business. Does that mean we will be able to smell Jessica Alba and Joel McHale‘s cooking, or Jeremy Piven‘s bad guy cologne? Likely it’s just a marketing gimmick, as the film is in 3-D, so perhaps the film will not open a wormhole for every screening. Robert Rodriguez returns for the fourth entry in this decade-old franchise, and now there’s a trailer. Check it out.
