CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Vivid Girl Briana Banks is starring in a co-production for Vivid Entertainment Group and Red Light District directed by Manuel Ferrara.

Ferrara, the two-time, reigning AVN Male Performer of the Year, today is shooting Banks in a scene with Michael Stefano (2004 AVN Male POY), Mick Blue and John Strong in which she will get d.p.’ed. Banks will also do a one-on-one with Ferrara and participate in a group scene with Red Light contract girl Brianna Love and Rita Faltoyano, with Stefano, Strong and Ben English.

“Basically, I just want to do something where Vivid, the feature company, meets Red Light, the gonzo company,” Ferrara told AVN.com Tuesday, noting that Banks is “probably the strongest Vivid Girl” in terms of performing. “I want to show that a girl like Briana Banks that is very well known as a contract girl can be as hardcore as the kind of gonzo that Red Light does.

“Plus she has a huge name in the industry. It’s very good. It’s going to be the first time we worked together. We have some common friends and have gone out a couple times bowling. She’s actually really good at bowling too.”

Ferrara personally selected the cast which also includes Flower Tucci, Courtney Simpson and Tiffany Rayne.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Director Rob Rotten and Metro Studios’ Loaded Digital line are set to release Porn of the Dead on March 28. The feature was previously shelved for a short time because Metro was uncomfortable with some of the content in it. The title was then re-edited, and is now available for pre-order.

Rotten is happy with how the feature has come out. “I think it’s a good compromise between me and Metro,” Rotten told AVN.com. “I’m really happy with the finished product.”

Like some of Rotten’s other films, Porn of the Dead is a vignette-style feature, but unlike his previous titles, the five sex scenes are tied together with a full-blown zombie movie. “It’s a little disturbing, but at the same time, really funny,” commented Rotten.

“I went into this project trying to make it more like a zombie movie, but the sex is really great too.”

Rotten explained to AVN.com that he used 12 gallons of fake blood and four different special effects guys during the making of Porn of the Dead. “There are full-on dismemberments, as well as hearts and a bunch of other body parts being ripped out and eaten in the movie.”

As with other Rotten titles, the soundtrack is a pivotal part of Porn of the Dead. Completely comprised of death metal bands, Rotten got music for the feature from bands like Diacide, Blood Red Throne and Impaled. “I can’t believe I got bands this good for the movie.”

Porn of the Dead stars Sierra Sinn, Nikki Jett (in her only sex scene), Ruby Knox (in her first b/g scene), Hillary Scott and Trina Michaels.

Consumers can order Porn of the Dead (and Rotten’s other title, Fuck the System) from www.pornofthedead.com or www.punxproductions.com.

LOS ANGELES - Wearing a small tank top and a pair of ripped blue jeans, Stefani Morgan sits on her suede sofa in her spacious Los Angeles apartment. It’s quiet in the tidy room when her cell phone vibrates nearby.

She sniffles slightly then smiles broadly before apologizing for not wearing makeup. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m not feeling well,” she says as her Sidekick mobile blinks incessantly. “It’s a girlfriend. I’ll get back to her,” she says just as her cell phone again begins to vibrate.

It’s just another day for 20-year-old Riverside, Calif., native and one of Vivid Entertainment’s newest contract performers.

With her first starring feature Star hitting video stores last month, Morgan is taking a break from work, having recently finished shooting on her sixth starring feature and having completed her first season as co-host of Playboy TV’s “The Bang” entertainment news series.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Adult performer Taylor Rain has just launched her own member site, ClubTaylorRain.com.

“This is the site I’ve always wanted. I’ve been talking to people for two years about a site…We made all types of plans but nothing ever came of it,” Rain said. “This one is all me! I love it.”

Rain, who is no longer performing, said that it’s still very important for her to feel close to her fans, and so she created the site with them in mind. The site includes Rain’s journal section with her day to day rants about her personal life, as well as her directing for Torrid and Defiance.

Also included is a schedule so her fans can stay up to date with her shooting schedule as well as personal appearances across the country. Rain already has a “Live Chat” section where she can meet one on one with fans for a live video chat, plus she’ll have scheduled Live Chat sessions for all her members.

“I love that I can meet one on one with fans for special occasions via my live chat area. And then weekly I’ll do live chats for all my fans, that’s hot! I can play with myself for some fan I have in Alaska and get him off by watching me, that’s hot,” enthused Rain.

Rain said that she’ll make sure the site is updated every day, with new hardcore content, as well as the updating of her journal and schedule.

“I’m so into this site,” continued Rain. “I’ve personally picked all the content that people see on the site so far. I have a deal with Defiance and Torrid, so I get to use all their exclusive content that no one else has.”

Besides photo content, the website is promised to be filled with hours of exclusive video content with starlets such as Lauren Phoenix, Tory Lane, Vanessa Lane, Deja Daire, Naudia Nyce, Jenna Haze, Bobbi Blair, Katja Kassin, Rita Faltoyano, Tiffany Taylor and more.

“I’m gonna do content shoots with my favorite girls…I’ll have exclusive video clips and full movies too,” she said.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - In a departure from his usual work, director/performer Mark Ashley is taking on the youth set with Mark Ashley’s All Teens set for release Thursday by Digital Sin.

“It’s not what I usually do, but it’s a new series that’s going for that big youth market,” Ashley said.

Featuring a slew of new talent, led by cover girl Jeanie Marie, the video also features Kelsey Michaels, Savannah Stern, Breezy, Riley Mason, and Emma Redd.

“The best thing about these girls is they have that girl-next-door look. They look approachable and they remind you of your neighbor’s hot daughter hanging out in the backyard. It’s that kind of fantasy,” he said.

Although the cast was mostly inexperienced in adult videos, Ashley said their spontaneity and enthusiasm made up for the lack of polish.

Marco Banderas and Ashley also perform in the video.
