CASTING COMPLETED FOR AXEL BRAUN’S ‘BATMAN XXX’ TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY VIVID
"The Godfather XXX" and "Grease XXX" Also in Pre-Production
LOS ANGELES (October 28, 2009) – Director Axel Braun has announced that casting is complete and he will start production in a few weeks for "Batman XXX: a Porn Parody", his erotic spoof of the campy 60’s TV show. This marks the first feature from his company Axel Braun Productions to be distributed by Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film company. The movie is scheduled for release on January 13th.
"I took my time to find the perfect cast," said Braun, "I auditioned just about every top actor in the industry, and I have to say it wasn’t an easy task. Everybody wanted to be a part of this, and they all came very well-prepared."
In the end, Nick Manning won the lead role of Batman, Kris Slater landed the part of Robin, Evan Stone was cast as The Riddler, Randy Spears as The Joker, Nicole Ray as Batgirl, and Tori Black as Catwoman. And be ready for some high-profile cameos in the non-sex roles!
"This project is very important to me," noted Axel, "Not only because I grew up religiously watching the TV series, but also because it’s the first one in my output deal with Vivid, and I want every detail to be absolutely perfect. Everybody at the company has been amazingly supportive and inspiring, and I feel incredibly honored to be doing business with them."
Known for his rigorous work ethic and his tireless schedule, the prolific director is already in pre-production on two other high-profile projects, "The Godfather XXX", a parody of the Oscar-winning film, and "Grease XXX", an ambitious 4-hour sex-musical.
"The Godfather is one of the most beloved movies of all time", says Braun "and I have been wanting to do a XXX version of Grease, with all the music numbers, for many years. I think the timing is perfect to expand the reach of the porn parody genre from just TV shows to feature films, and these two projects certainly carry enough weight to jumpstart the trend."
Both "The Godfather XXX", and "Grease XXX" are scheduled for release in 2010.
Media that want to cover the production of "Batman XXX" should contact Jackie@vivid.com.

and Tori Black as Catwoman.
This is the best part of all š She is awesome, high class and now nasty too. I love her š
Axel is not the son of lasse braun, he was his son in law. His is not related by blood.
pepe, i think bobbi starr would make a good catwoman.
Are you retarded?!
You might want to check your facts before opening your mouth. That was not his father in law, that’s his biological father. Dumbass!
Let’s see, I’ve spoken to Lasse and he told me.. I even have an autographed copy of his book on my shelf, so maybe I know what I’m talking about. Keep believing what you read on the internet.. And no one in porn ever lies.
Oh, and lets not forget Avy Lee Roth’s father is David Lee Roth.
morons
Who cares? Really, does ANYONE seriously believe anyone’s self-generated Porn Valley resume/press release?
“Axel Braun was born and raised in Italy, where he received a privileged upper-class upbringing. Fluent in five languages, a member of MENSA, a film-school graduate, and the bearer of a Ph.D. in Psychology, Axel has a unique cultural background that definitely sets him apart from the many other talented directors in the adult industry.”
Heck, if Mr. Braun had all of that going on for him, why not make hundreds of thousands if not millions, doing mainstream movies/tv?
I only speak one language, am not a member of MENSA, didn’t go to film school, nor do I have either a doctorate degree or come from an upper-class background…but I sure as shit, could keep the camera in focus on a couple of hot-ass porn chicks getting fucked senseless (or in the case of some female talent, they probably would want to have a little ‘sense’ fucked into them).
Which is to say, you don’t need to be a well-cultured, multi-linguistic, two steps away from European royalty, genius to make boring vanilla porn for the idiots at Vivid…
Can we stop the porn parody thing now. I’ve had no desire to see any of them. A Godfather Parody? Grease? Another porn MENSA member, terrific, maybe Axel can get Asia to come out of retirement to have the “smartest” cast in the history of porn. Now if Steele can get some work in these movies, I’m for them as the man needs work and needs to eat.
Larry,
It takes talent to come up with original ideas and to see them through. The lack of originality in porn is equal to the lack of talent.
And being a MENSA member just means youre smart, it doesnt mean you have common sense.
Good idea Larry Horse — yet, what Axel should do is get Asia together with AJ Bailey (I’m sure Vivid will give a special waver) so he can put together a porn parody of Jeopardy or Weakest Link. Here’s what the press release would be;
The world’s two smartest porn stars and the world’s smartest porn director are finally together in one of the smartest porn parodies ever made. Watch as Asia Carrera (certified MENSA member) and AJ Bailey (closing in on her first doctoral degree) square off to answer once and for all, who is the smartest person to ever walk on a porn set!
Special appearance by Ron Jeremy, who while not technically ‘smart’ — is theoretically ‘brilliant’ because he figured out a way for a guy with his looks and body to repeatedly get laid and paid. Remember fans, unlike other porn parodies, there are no loser in this one — because you, the viewer are the winner when the clothes come off and the girls show off their ‘smarts’.
Sammy,
As much as I hate to agree with you, the Jeopardy idea is great. I think Ron should be Alex Trebek. Or maybe a C
Cash Cab parody with Ron as the cab driver.
But since this is porn, maybe we should stick with Wheel of Fortune.
Of course Vivid must have hired Axel to class up the joint, classing up Vivid would be boarding up the windows and changing the locks. As for Asia, how long before she writes a children’s book?
Larry, his sitcum/porn parodies to date have been wildly inconsistent compared to others so while I wish all parties in the venture good luck, he’s not going to “class up Vivid” any more than he’s likely to class up his movies. The reason there are so many of them coming out is that they sell, more than most of the generic dreck released by the market, and will continue to sell so long as more people buy them.
Sammy, when Ron joined porn back in the 70’s, he was considered attractive enough by the readers of Playgirl to launch his career (and he was fit enough considering his extensive training in gymnastics).
Correction noted.
Yet Ron is STILL quite brilliant to manage to STAY in porn, even as his waistline increased and his face started causing a few mirrors to crack…
