Samantha Saint in SAMANTHA SAINT COMPETELY WICKED from Wicked Pictures

Coming off the successful launch of their fall blockbusters Underworld and Samantha Saint Completely Wicked, one would think that high-flying contract superstars jessica drake and Samantha Saint might be ready for a day off. But as the saying goes, “there’s no rest for the Wicked.” It’s an adage the ladies took to heart as they traversed the globe promoting their exciting new releases, which are climbing the retail charts and receiving critical raves from the industry’s top critics.

The first leg of their international tour found jessica and Samantha appearing at the 2013 SEXPO Health, Sexuality & Lifestyle Expo in Johannesburg, South Africa. Billed as “the hemisphere’s largest event of its kind,” event organizers delivered a show devoted to “focusing on a broad spectrum of adult related topics and spectacular stage performances.” The ladies met with customers and signed autographs for fans daily while discussing their latest blockbusters in interviews with some of the region’s top media outlets.

Returning to the U.S., the promotional blitz continued for jessica, who joined her Wicked contract sisters Stormy Daniels and Kaylani Lei at eXXXotica New Jersey 2013 for three days of personal appearances. One of the East Coast’s preeminent celebrations of love, sexuality and adult entertainment, the popular event was held at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison. In addition to meeting with her fans, jessica also hosted well-attended educational seminars at both SEXPO and eXXXotica.

Now back home in Los Angeles (where the ladies are continuing to grab headlines by hosting/appearing at the Sex Awards, participating in AIDS Walk LA, and more), the Wicked Girls are seeing their blockbuster films enjoying both brisk sales and critical acclaim.

Directed by hit-creator Brad Armstrong, Underworld has received raves everywhere it’s been reviewed to date, with Adult DVD Talk (www.adultdvdtalk.com) declaring, “In all, this release is stellar. It features the awesome jessica drake and an ultra-hot cast, well-captured sex (including a jessica DP), and all of the plot and production elements that go into a guaranteed success! Indeed, it can’t be recommended highly enough. Check it out. It’s worthy and then some!” AIP Daily‘s Christina is just as laudatory, enthusing, “Overall this is a must see. I give it a 5 out of 5!” Released September 30th, the two-disc gothic adventure is currently #3 on AdultDVDEmpire.com’s sales charts. Fans of the movie are invited to participate in “Flesh for Fantasy: The UNDERWORLD Contest” for a chance to win collectible prizes. For details, please visit here.

Like drake, Samantha Saint is riding a veritable tsunami of good will for her stunning work in Jonathan Morgan’s Samantha Saint Completely Wicked. Adult DVD Talk is downright effusive in its praise. “It’s a wild, erotic, no-holes-barred ride when the blond beauty, Samantha Saint, is given free reign to act out her innermost desires,” their review begins. Noting that the movie contains both her anal and interracial debuts, the critique concludes “this is an exceptional production that’s easily worth the price of purchase. Crossing into new and uncharted territory, Samantha Saint puts forth what is likely her dirtiest and most intense set of performances to date. She is smokin’ hot, she is intense, and this flick is worthy. Check it out!” Samantha Saint Completely Wicked is currently in Adult DVD Empire’s Top 20.

Hit movies. Career-defining performances. High-profile international appearances.

From the stage to the screen, from nation to nation, the Wicked Girls continue to grace blockbuster adult films while expanding their fan base and strengthening the Wicked brand’s appeal with women and couples. For more information, please visit www.wicked.com and www.wickedb2b.com.

ASA AKIRA announces she is the newest Wicked Girl at the 2013 Sex Awards

Wicked Pictures and its acclaimed creative team were rarely out of the spotlight last week. From Hollywood to Florida’s Gold Coast, the production powerhouse earned major accolades while welcoming Asa Akira to its family of exclusive contract stars.

With three-time AVN Best Actress and emerging sexual wellness authority jessica drake taking center stage as host, the X3Sixty Network, InsideAdult.com and AVN presented The Sex Awards October 9th. Described as “the first fan-based awards show to be broadcast on national TV,” the gala event took place at the Avalon in Hollywood.

Asa Akira dominated the evening by winning three major awards. She and jessica drake won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Screen Couple, and she went on to snare both Adult Movie of the Year and Porn Star of the Year.

She capped off her three-peat by announcing that she had signed an exclusive performing contract with Wicked Pictures. Reflecting on it all, Akira observes, “Out of all the awards I’ve been lucky enough to win, the Sex Awards are particularly special to me. First, because they were voted on by the fans. Secondly, I was given the green light to announce my Wicked contract on stage if I won Porn Star of the Year – which I did! And third, jessica drake and I won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Screen Couple. We’ve done two scenes together so far, and the chemistry between us is crazy. I’m glad the fans agree!”

The evening was just as impactful for Ms. drake. “I knew it would be an amazing show! I really enjoyed hosting the night and it only got better when I won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Couple with our new Wicked Girl! I was impressed by the professionalism of everyone involved and I can’t wait to see the show on national TV. I’m grateful to Paul Fishbein and Wicked Pictures for this great opportunity!”

The acclaim continued Sunday night, October 13th as Wicked received several trophies at the 21st Annual NightMoves Awards in Tampa, Florida. Celebrated in style at the Tampa Gold Club and hosted by industry luminaries Ron Jeremy and Misty Stone, the star-studded soiree saw the company and its talented collaborators receiving some of the evening’s top honors, including the coveted NightMoves First Choice Award, which recognized the overall quality and excellence of Stormy Daniels’ compelling adult drama Wanderlust.

Kudos continued to come Wicked’s way throughout the evening, with Brad Armstrong, creator of such 2013 epics as Underworld, receiving the Fan Choice Award for Best Director – Non Parody. Edwin Lee, the gifted gonzo director whose Wicked releases have been earning both brisk sales and critical raves, deservedly earned Best Cougar/MILF Release (Editor’s Choice) for Cougars vs. Kittens. Turning to other categories, longtime industry publicist Daniel Metcalf received the Adella Award for “work behind the scenes” and Wicked Pictures was honored with the Fan Choice Award for Best Production Company.

For eight-time AVN award winner jessica drake, the magazine celebrates both her critical winning streak (including her status as a record-setting three-time recipient of the publication’s Best Actress trophy) to her role as a goodwill ambassador and spokesperson both within and beyond the adult industry.

The feature brings a special focus to jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex, celebrating the award-winning series for delivering “a comprehensive, intelligent breakdown of sexual experimentation.”  The profile concludes by discussing Ms. drake’s humanitarian endeavors, aptly describing the tireless Wicked Girl as a “student of the world seeking to make it a better place.”

For his part, Wicked Pictures President and Owner Steve Orenstein is justifiably proud to see Stormy and jessica celebrated alongside the industry’s top female power brokers, observing, “There are many reasons these talented women have been with Wicked for a decade.

Adult industry powerhouse Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that Team Wicked has collected over $16,000 dollars in pledges to benefit the 28th annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles walkathon fundraiser. Taking place this Sunday, October 14, AIDS Walk Los Angeles is California’s largest AIDS fundraising event. Proceeds benefit AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) and other Los Angeles County organizations that offer care and treatment for people living with the disease.

Team Wicked’s involvement with the cause has been spearheaded by Wicked Pictures contract star and emerging sexual wellness authority jessica drake, who has participated in the annual walkathon for several years. For 2012, she’s expanded her involvement in the event through the formation of an alliance that includes her contract sisters Stormy Daniels, Kaylani Lei and Alektra Blue as well as Brad Armstrong, Brandy Aniston, Kortney Kane, Keni Styles, Mark Nicholson, Rick Bailey, Barry Martinez and Patrick Spinella. In solidarity with their friends in the industry, Team Wicked will wear special “No on Measure B” T-shirts to voice their opposition to proposed legislation that would mandate the use of condoms and other products in adult films.

Thanks to Ms. Drake’s tireless efforts, Team Wicked has enjoyed near-permanent status on the AIDS Walk Los Angeles website’s “Top Teams” page, flying past teams formed by the likes of Paramount Pictures and the Fox Entertainment Group. Team rankings are updated daily and can be viewed here.

Yet while Team Wicked has already done an extraordinary amount of fundraising, Ms. drake is quick to point out that with days left to go it’s never too late to get involved — especially since this year’s fundraiser holds added personal significance. “Not only is this the third time I’ve participated in AIDS Walk, but this year it’s falling on my birthday,” jessica reveals. “All I want this year is my fans’ support. It’s for a great cause, so donate today!”

Those interested in supporting Team Wicked with their own tax-deductible contributions are encouraged to click here to visit the group’s official page on the AIDS Walk Los Angeles website. Fans also have the option of supporting Ms. drake individually; her personal page is located here.

“I’m thrilled that some of my closest friends and co-workers are going to be joining me in the fight against HIV and AIDS,” jessica reflects as she looks forward to Sunday’s walkathon. “There is strength in numbers, and I am very proud of Team Wicked.”

Since 1985, AIDS Walk Los Angeles has raised $69 million for HIV programs and services in Los Angeles County, and has grown into the largest AIDS fundraising event in California. The AIDS Walk movement has raised more than a half-billion dollars nationwide.

VH1’s Behind The Music staple Bob Seger famously sang “I used her, she used me, but neither one cared — we were getting our share” in his 1970s radio anthem “Night Moves.” But for powerhouse adult production company Wicked Pictures, it was all about getting a fair share of the glory Sunday night October 7th as the company received several trophies at the 20th Annual Nightmoves Awards.

Celebrated in style at the Dallas Bull in Tampa Florida and hosted by industry luminaries Tony Batman and Prinzess Felicity Jade, the star-studded soiree saw the company and its talented collaborators receiving some of the evening’s top honors, including the coveted Nightmoves First Choice Award, which recognized the overall quality and excellence of Brad Armstrong’s Men In Black: A Hardcore Parody. The award was accepted by co-stars Misty Stone and James Bartholet.

Kudos continued to come Wicked’s way throughout the evening, with contract performer, screenwriter, and movie-maker Stormy Daniels snaring the Editor’s Choice award for Best Director. Brendon Miller, whose talented editing and impressive acting performances have distinguished many of Ms. Daniels’ films, deservedly earned the Editor’s Choice award for Best Male Performer.

In a prepared statement, the show’s organizers stated that “the Nightmoves Awards began humbly as a small local Florida award show called the Central Florida Adult Entertainment Awards Show, put on by Nightmoves magazine. Since then it has expanded dramatically and now presents local and national adult awards in a large club atmosphere in Tampa, which includes sexy entertainment by some of the presenters. NightMoves has done an incredible job putting this together every year, and should be commended for this excellent event. The hardworking staff — including Paul Allen, Art Koch, Tracy Allen and the rest — make this a very memorable event every year.”

Wicked Pictures proudly congratulates its 20th Annual Nightmoves Award winners. To learn more, please visit www.wicked.com.

Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that Samantha Saint is joining the ranks of the company’s award-winning Wicked Girls. The announcement was made via Wicked’s flagship website, www.wicked.com, where jessica drake, Kaylani Lei and Alektra Blue introduced their newest contract sister in an exciting live web event.

A svelte, 5’ 8” stunner hailing from the beautiful South, Samantha brings an impressive resume to the table that suggests she’ll feel right at home among her Wicked sisters. In both film and print, she’s worked tirelessly to establish herself at the forefront of adult entertainment.

As a successful model, she has graced the pages of Penthouse (she’s currently the coverstar and centerfold of the magazine’s October, 2012 issue), Club (including the January 2012 cover), Club International (the May 2011 cover), Hustler and many more.

In the adult film realm, Miss Saint (or as this Southern belle is known to her Twitter followers @MissSaintXXX) has received award nominations for her work from both Adult Video News (AVN) and XBIZ. She’s no stranger to the world of Wicked Pictures, having already appeared in Jonathan Morgan’s Busty Cops and Ideal Companion. Next, she’ll be seen in Morgan’s Couples Camp 2 and Brad Armstrong’s Just Visiting.

Given the sexy and stylish unveiling she enjoyed with her contract sisters, Samantha’s thoughts on formally joining the company’s elite cadre of contract talent should come as no surprise. “I am so excited to be a part of the Wicked family! Becoming a Wicked girl is a dream come true. I know having such a wonderful company on my side will allow me to truly explore my sexual fantasies in the best light possible for my fans to enjoy.”

Oscar Wilde said the only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future. With her dangerous curves and Southern charm, the only thing more exciting than where Samantha has been is where she’s going.

The Wicked Girls are taking a perceptive look at the evolving careers of adult entertainers in the new feature article On the Porn Film’s 40th Anniversary, a Thank-You to ‘Deep Throat.’ Written by author and journalist Kristin Battista-Frazee, this well-researched look at the first forty years of X-Rated film-making was published this morning by The Daily Beast, the Newsweek-owned culture and opinion portal founded by former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown.

Ms. Battista-Frazee’s illuminating story deftly contrasts the infamous 1972 film Deep Throat‘s funding and production with the techniques and policies studios like Wicked Pictures employ in creating content today. Special emphasis is given to the increasing control today’s performers exercise over their careers, from choosing their co-stars to, in many cases, writing, directing and appearing in their own projects.

“I’m very grateful to have had a chance to meet such talented, insightful and smart women who truly love their careers,” Ms. Battista-Frazee says of the time she spent with Stormy, jessica, Kaylani and Alektra. She also feels their message of female empowerment created a fascinating subtext for her story, which was published in recognition of Deep Throat‘s June 12th, 1972 theatrical release. “The ladies’ unique stories and perspectives on the adult industry were highly informative and provided a wonderful way to honor the 40th anniversary of Deep Throat.”

GRACIE GLAM and ZANDER CORVUS in ‘Immortal Love’

NICK MANNING and JESSIE ANDREWS in ‘Love Blossoms’

Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that it has wrapped production on Immortal Love and Love Blossoms, the latest installments in its Wicked Passions line. This 2012 AVN award-nominated series focuses on sensual stories designed for women and couples seeking adult entertainment with fully-scripted storylines and thoughtfully rendered characterizations.

Written and directed by Stormy Daniels, Immortal Love tells the tale of Madelyn (Gracie Glam), a young woman who finds herself alone and heartbroken after calling off her engagement. She shuts herself up in her high-rise apartment, finding her only comfort in music. Soon, however, she begins to feel she is not alone. And after a shadowy figure saves her from some would-be attackers, Madelyn’s suspicions are confirmed. She finds the courage to confront the mystery man one night, but nothing could have prepared her for what she discovers… or for her heart’s unexpected reactions. Immortal Love quickly becomes a classic tale of good versus evil as their undeniable passion causes two very different worlds to collide — and Madelyn soon learns that it is not just her heart that is in danger, but her very soul! Co-starring AVN award-winner Xander Corvus, this ambitious project combines a first-class supporting cast (including Wicked Girl Alektra Blue, Britney Young, Chanel Preston, Seth Gamble, Kris Slater, Mick Blue and Brendon Miller) with high production values, a fantasy-tinged storyline and exciting special effects. Ms. Daniels’ previous Wicked Passions release, Heart Strings, earned the veteran writer/director/performer a well-deserved AVN nomination for Best Director – Feature, while a selection from the DVD soundtrack, “No Song, No Supper,” was nominated for Best Original Song.

Love Blossoms, helmed by award-winning actor/director Barrett Blade, is a sensual drama of love, infidelity and redemption starring industry luminary Jessie Andrews, the talented beauty whose winsome good looks and mainstream-quality acting chops recently earned her Best Actress trophies from both AVN and XBIZ magazines.

Stormy Daniels, AVN award-winning Wicked Girl‚ and writer, director and star of some of contemporary adult entertainment’s most acclaimed features, is pleased to announce the release of her spectacular new XXX crime adventure Blow.

Inspired by the professional and personal lives of people working on both sides of South Florida’s brisk drug trade, Blow focuses on a charismatic dealer (Jack Vegas) and his wife Lydia (Stormy Daniels), two stylish high rollers who enlist a law enforcement insider’s help in tracking down a missing shipment of “product.”

They quickly discover that ruthless biker gang member Cade (Brendon Miller) hijacked the shipment in order to blackmail the dealer into becoming partners with his gang, a move that would allow the two players to double their territory. But in an unexpected twist of fate, Lydia falls for the volatile Cade, a loner who hasn’t exactly been forthcoming about his real motivations… or identity.

Shot on location in Florida, Blow finds director/writer/performer Stormy Daniels pulling out all the stops to give couples maximum value for their adult video dollar. Exotic locations, intense sex (including multiple scenes with Ms. Daniels) and fast-paced action fill the screen with passion while a literate screenplay laces the drama with edgy cynicism as the leads battle the “whack-a-mole” nature of drug interdiction. The performances are first-rate throughout, with the work of Vegas, Miller and Stormy complimented by excellent performances from AVN Unsung Siren winner Charley Chase, Carmen Valentina, Devon Lee, Diamond Kitty, Sarah Vandella, Marcus London, Tommy Gunn and Paul Allen (in a memorable non-sex performance).

Beyond the fine performances and high production values, the excellence of Blow is evident in the care put into this high-end DVD release. In addition to the 16×9 widescreen HD feature, the disc includes a bonus sex scene featuring Miller and Ms. Daniels, a sensual still gallery, motion menus, Wicked Pictures trailers and more. And it all comes encased in a deluxe gatefold sleeve that showcases dangerous curves and explosive action to excellent effect.

Blow. Join Stormy Daniels on a sexually charged search for money, power and respect in a city where life can move from tranquil to deadly in a heartbeat. To learn more, please visit www.wicked.com and www.wickedB2B.com.

For adult industry powerhouse Wicked Pictures, 2011 will be remembered as a year of successful innovation. The company stayed true to its core vision as a purveyor of large-scale entertainment for couples by treating audiences across the globe to such groundbreaking features as adult futurist Sam Hain’s darkly erotic science fiction opus Horizon. But, like all successful pioneers past and present, the forward-thinking company gambled — both critically and economically — by tapping into new markets, specifically the white-hot parody and sexual wellness genres. This creative roll of the dice paid off handsomely in Las Vegas on January 21st, when Wicked was honored with eleven glittering prizes at The 29^th Annual Adult Video News Awards.

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s dynamic and sophisticated music venue The Joint provided an ideal backdrop for the star-studded gala, which saw veteran actor/director Brad Armstrong’s initial foray into the parody genre, The Rocki Whore Picture Show: A Hardcore Parody, emerging as one of the true hits of the evening. A radical re-imagining of the gender-bending hit of yesteryear, Rocki Whore strutted to the front of the pack with nine major awards, including Best Parody – Comedy. Other trophies bestowed upon the title throughout the evening included Best Director – Parody, Best Editing, Best Screenplay – Parody, Best DVD Extras, Best Art Direction, Best Make-Up, Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project and Non-Sex Performance (James Bartholet).

Of this witty and accomplished satire’s sweep of the parody categories, Wicked Pictures President and Owner Steve Orenstein remarks “we’re very happy with the awards. With the Rocki Whore Picture Show: A Hardcore Parody being our only parody to date, we are especially pleased to have received both Best Parody – Comedy and Best Director – Parody. It really is a testament to why Brad Armstrong deserves to be the Director of the Year. He doesn’t just shoot one type of movie. He can create winners in all categories.

Wicked’s first production created for the sexual wellness market, jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Fellatio, was richly acknowledged for its fresh and original insights, winning the top prize of its genre — Best Educational Release. Written, produced, directed and hosted by the titular Wicked Girl‚ the franchise was similarly honored mere weeks ago at the XBIZ Awards in Los Angeles. “We are thrilled with this win,” Orenstein observes. “This is the second awards show since the line was created and the second time it has won. This series is very important to us today and will continue to be in the future. jessica drake brings a fresh perspective to sex education and we look forward to the great career ahead of her in this field.”

In a fitting acknowledgement of Wicked’s ability to explore new technological trends successfully while continuing to serve traditional needs, the innovative science fiction hit Horizon was honored with a richly-deserved trophy for Best Special Effects. “We are very excited to see Sam Hain’s movie continuing to win awards,” comments Orenstein. “This movie will be one that continues to perform well for us for years to come.”

The acknowledgment of director Hain’s visionary commitment capped off an evening of significant success for the company. It is with great honor that Wicked Pictures thanks AVN’s veteran editors and insightful reviewers for awards that speak not only to the quality of its product but to its efficacy in satisfying evolving audience needs.
