VIVID STUDIO INSIDER

VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR AUGUST 6, 2010

MONTANA MOVIE GETS HUGE ATTENTION – News that Vivid has made a movie with Montana Fishburne has created over-the-top media attention. And on Monday, responding to unprecedented demand from consumers and retailers, Vivid advanced the release the self-titled Montana Fishburne by eight days, to August 10th, when it will be available in stores and online through vivid.com. Montana, of course, is the gorgeous 19-year-old daughter of Tony and Emmy award winning actor Laurence Fishburne.  Her steamy movie came about after she initiated a meeting with Vivid’s Steven Hirsch.  She explained how an adult movie fit into her career plan and said she was ready to make one immediately, telling Hirsch she greatly admired what Kim Kardashian has accomplished after Vivid released her sex tape, "Kim Kardashian Superstar."  She told Hirsch she hoped her own XXX movie would boost her Hollywood career.  With an emphasis on "thrill sex," "Montana Fishburne" follows the wildly uninhibited Montana through a series of erotic scenes in which she has an opportunity to display sexual enthusiasms. Said Hirsch: "We knew there would be interest in this movie but we didn't anticipate that it would be quite so strong. We're hoping the earlier release will help Montana realize her ambitions a bit sooner." Meanwhile, thousands of websites and celebrity media have been attracted to the story, including TMZ, which has broken several stories about Montana and Vivid and posted the trailer and an extensive photo gallery from her Vivid movie. Montana had numerous print interviews and appeared subsequently on several TV programs, including Inside Edition and has a live appearance on Joy Behar set for on Monday August 9th.

VIVID GIRL LIA IN MAINSTREAM 'MIDDLE MEN' FILM  -- Reporter Bob Johnson writes in XBiz.com this week that “Online babe and Vivid Girl Lia appears in multiple scenes in the upcoming mainstream movie Middle Men to be released by Paramount Aug. 6.”  Johnson quotes Lia as saying, "I had a blast working on the movie and it was fascinating for me to learn how the adult online business was started and developed. I think my own experiences in the Internet business (she was known for her solo site Lia19 before she signed with Vivid) and more recently making movies like Lia's First Time and The Rush for Vivid helped me a lot.   As we were making the movie I was asked to become a consultant to actress Laura Ramsey, who plays the love interest, and taught her some of the things she needed to know about the adult industry from my own background." The film, which tells the story of entrepreneurs who rake in millions of dollars, was directed by George Gallo and written by Gallo and Andy Weiss for Oxymoron Entertainment. Lia can be seen on the movie poster here and will be attending the nationwide premiere and screening parties

MORE ATTENTION FOR STAR WARS XXX PARODY – BigShinyRobot.com, a popular website that aims itself at “nerds,” is fascinated with the idea of Lexington Steele starting as Darth Vader in Axel Braun’s upcoming Star Wars XXX A Porn Parody.  Writer Swank-Mo-Tron says in an article on the popular website: “Vivid Entertainment, the group behind the incredibly successful Batman XXX Porn Parody have set their sights on Star Wars and have just made their first casting announcement. Lexington Steele will be playing Darth Vader.  I have no idea who this guy is, but apparently he’s pretty big in the porn industry. There is no word when it will be completed or released, but if I continue to be sent information, I’ll continue to report on it.”
