VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR APRIL 9 2010
MCREADY SEX TAPE LEGAL WRANGLING CONTINUES - The pop culture media has been following closely the drama surrounding the release of the Mindy McCready sex tape Baseball Mistress. Distribution has been put on temporary hold by Vivid. But, Vivid still plans to distribute the movie despite a new letter from McCready's attorney Adam Dread. Last week Dread sent Vivid, founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch a "cease and desist" letter and demanded to see documentation that the studio had authorization to distribute the video. Hirsch announced earlier this week that "We've decided to take a little extra time to study all of our documentation and other clearances before we proceed." In the video, country music and reality show personality McCready shows off her sexual talents and talks candidly about the bedroom performances of Yankees and Red Sox pitching great Roger Clemens and other celebrities she's been involved with over the years. In a letter, dated April 7th, Dread requested answers to six categories of documentation and other information. See letter posted at www.vivid.com. Steven Hirsch's response in a press release was: "Adam Dread is being presumptuous to think we will share all of the information he's requested in his letter to me. We have no fear of the court system as we've operated within the law and we'll provide him with the documentation that is necessary, when we're ready, and not a minute before."
"REEL SEX" STORY REFERENCES VIVID - A front page story in the Thursday edition of the popular New York City tabloid AM New York discussed the rising number of sex tapes featuring celebrities. Reporter Emily Ngo writes in "Reel Sex," "It wouldn't be a Hollywood sex scandal without a sex tape. In the case of Jesse James, there are allegedly more than a dozen videos, all involving Nazi paraphernalia and none featuring scorned wife Sandra Bullock." She also reported: "Whether released intentionally or not, celebrity sex tapes allow the public to see stars at their least glamorous, experts said. 'We're very interested to see them doing something that people are doing all the time, which is having sex,' said Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment, the world's largest adult film producer. 'Everyone has sex, so it's easy to compare themselves to celebrities.' Whether released intentionally or not, celebrity sex tapes allow the public to see stars at their least glamorous, experts said."
BATMAN XXX PARODY WRAPS WITH FLAIR - Filming for the Axel Braun parody Batman XXX wrapped over the weekend with lots of excitement. The three-day shoot was viewed in real time by thousands of fans who purchased access to live streaming video of the production. The film will be distributed by Vivid. Said Braun: "The cast was just incredible: Dale Dabone literally became Adam West, and pulled out of his sleeve the most electrifying comeback performance I've ever seen in my 20 years in the industry. Tori Black....well, there's a reason why she's the reigning performer of the year, this girl is so gorgeous and talented, and her sexual energy is just unbelievable. Lexi Belle was just fantastic as Batgirl, and Alexis Texas is so flawless that no matter which way you put the camera, you cannot take a bad shot of her. Kimberly Kane has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and here she shines as Bruce Wayne's aristocratic fiance'. And then there's Evan Stone and Randy Spears as The Riddler and The Joker: these guys are simply in a class by themselves...their performances were nothing short of stellar, and their work ethic and dedication to this project absolutely blew me away."

XBIZ HONORS VIVID-ALT MOVIE TRES FLORES - The Vivid-Alt release Tres Flores has been selected as an XBiz Editors' Choice movie. While the plotline of the movie may be difficult to grasp, says the XBiz reviewer, "I do know hot, sweaty, intense sex when I see it, and one thing that separates Eon McKai from other alt porn filmmakers is, he knows he's making a porno first, an art film second.
Tres Flores is standard McKai: beautiful, inked-up girls in an artistic setting complete with odd lighting, shaky camera work, little dialogue, and rough but sensuous sex scenes all edited together perfectly well... The sex scenes themselves are the real artistic achievements. The girls are the center of attention, even as each vixen reappears, you get the feeling that they're going to show you something really cool. This film will grab you and you'll definitely want to grab yourself... A real alt porn achievement."
