Follow-Up to Arabesque
San Francisco based porn-powerhouse Raging Stallion Studios today announced the release of
Mirage, Director Chris Ward's two-disc follow-up to the 2006 smash hit
Arabesque. Mirage, starring Jake Deckard and Steve Cruz, is the biggest project Raging Stallion has yet produced, featuring
six hours of sex filmed on locations across the western United States and Hawaii. Featuring over a dozen top-flight models (including all of the studio's major exclusive players),
Mirage differs from
Arabesque because it is a plot-heavy film with extensive action / acting sequences. The movie even contains an airplane crash filmed with a real airplane!
The story of
Mirage is one of adventure and intrigue, tracing the travails of two American archaeologists who run afoul of a band of Arabian fighters. Guns, treasure, airplanes, tombs and deserts are all featured in this blockbuster movie.
"We spared no expense on production," noted Ward. "
We wanted to show the porn world exactly what a top-quality studio can produce! For me, Mirage is a high point of my career. The shoot, the men, the edit--everything--came together like clockwork. It was a joy to film and I hope it will be a joy to watch!"The studio opted not to make an actual sequel to
Arabesque, although with over 22,000 units sold the temptation was strong. Instead, Ward decided to make another Arabian epic adventure set in modern times instead of in an Arabia of old. The inclusion of a strong plot line, enhanced by the best sound track ever written by
JD Slater, takes
Mirage to a higher level than that achieved with
Arabesque. Ward enthused, "
I have no doubt that Mirage will be one of the top two or three movies of 2007--and it would not surprise me to see this film taking multiple awards at next year's shows. It is a great movie--perhaps the best of my career."In addition to
Deckard and
Cruz--two of Raging Stallion's Top exclusive stars (Jake is the current RSS Man of the Year)--Mirage stars exclusives
Dirk Jager, Huessein, Marc LaSalle, Rambo, Matthieu Paris, Justin Christopher, Collin O'Neal, and T
amas Eszterhazy. Guest appearances are made by
Tommy Blade, Dominic Pacifico and
Max Schutler.The movie is broken down into
two disks, the first being mainly shot on sets and indoors, while the second disc features amazing desert footage and scenes shot in dramatic outdoor settings. An hour long special feature also showcases the making of and creative influences that went into making
Mirage the movie that it is. Some of the shots in
Mirage were filmed with reduced visibility condoms. Despite any appearance of lack of condoms, Safe Sex practices were used throughout the feature without fail. Ward commented, "we used condoms always, but you do not always see them. It is great having guys with such huge dicks that the condoms only cover the top part of the cock!"
A huge marketing campaign is now starting for this major release, including a RSS published magazine, posters, a dedicated issue of Honcho, a national add campaign in all major publications, an extensive website (
miragethemovie.com), a TLA special release, and major features at nakedsword.com. "
No movie in the history of the industry will have as much exposure and marketing as Mirage!--and word of mouth is going to be huge!" noted a flyer from the RSS publicity department.
Mirage is action / adventure at its best--a middle eastern movie of epic proportion, filled with dark, handsome, sweaty men that shine as real sex stars on the screen. This is a movie that must not be missed.
Mirage is currently available for retail sales at
Ragingstallion.com, TLAvideo.com, and GayDVD,com. It goes into wholesale release in both the US and in Europe on June 1.
As Mirage starts to hit the store shelves feedback is loud and clear about one of the star performers in the Arabian epic--Raging Stallion Exclusive superstar Dirk Jager. Dirk, who just finished filming a whole new round of scenes for us to be released over the next 12 months, plays the role of the evil sheik who is out to capture Jake Deckard and Steve Cruz. Dirk, a native of Leipzig, Germany, really looks the part of a bedouin prince, and his line delivery is perfect for the roll: Cool and Calculated. He plays sexy / evil to perfection, and his movie star good looks really make him a porn sensation. Mirage is his best movie to date, but we have filmed him for numerous scenes for the 2007 / 2008 release season. Highpoints include a scene with Remy Delaine (RSS Performer of the Year, 2005) and a spectacular pairing with Spanish stud Martin Mazza. You are going to have a lot of Dirk Jager served up from Raging Stallion over the next year, so get ready to spend many hours with another Raging Stallion Superstar!
