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.
