Introducing Tales of the Arabian Nights

In 2005 Chris Ward presented Arabesque, a stunning film that has been hailed as one of the greatest moments of Gay Erotica of all time and the top selling Gay Porn Movie of the past two decades. Now Chris, Ben Leon, and Team Raging Stallion have gone back to the dark and swarthy men of the Middle East and produced THE MOVIE EVENT of 2010--A massive, four-disc epic entitled Tales of the Arabian Nights!

Tales of the Arabian Nights is a spectacular porn event that highlights the beauty of men from the middle east.

Over the next weeks we are going to offer up photos and stories from each of the dozen or so scenes featured in this scorching hot film. Tales of the Arabian Nights is THE PORN EVENT OF THE YEAR. Here is your first taste!



Scene One: Aybars and Steve Cruz


From Chris Ward's production notes: "I found Aybars when cruising around on Cam4.com. He was a regular on there, so I knew he was an exhibitionist! I dropped him an email to see if he had any interest in doing a movie for us. Although he was from Munich, he looked very Middle Eastern and since I knew we were about to film Tales of the Arabian Nights, I thought I would see if he was interested. He responded immediately and let us know he was from Turkey. He had seen Arabesque and was very excited to come over and do the deed! Aybars is the standout discovery of this movie--his beautiful body, warm eyes, perfect cock, and wonderful personality make him one of my personal favorites."

Steve Cruz has been at Raging Stallion for many years now, and he is one of my personal favorite actors. He is of Portuguese descent, with strong north African heritage from the days when the Moors ruled the Iberian peninsula.

When casting, I thought he and Aybars would be perfect--both are distinctive in their looks and I always like to cast similar guys together. If figured that if you are into hairy studs, this will be a dream pairing.
Ben Leon directed this scene, and I think its an award contender. There is something special about the first scene a new porn star makes--and this is Aybars' first.

A Q & A with Steve Cruz

We sat down over lunch with Steve Cruz, one of Raging Stallion's top superstars (and now top videographer) and talked about Tales of the Arabian Nights. Here are some of the things he said.

Q Why on earth would Chris Ward put you in Tales of the Arabian Nights? Could it be your dark, hairy Tail?

Yeah, I get typecast a lot! But don't start feeling sorry for me... look at the cast! Dark and hairy men from the middle east and all over the world. I was flattered to be included.

Q Ben Leon directed your scene with new comer Aybars. He is actually from Turkey--Chris found him on the web. How was it working with him? He seemed to do very well for a first timer!

Aybars is such a beautiful man. His seductive power is his eyes. They are hypnotic. He's a man of few words, soft spoken but when his dick gets hard there's no need to waste time on words. He was great, I enjoyed every minute. Its a sensual scene, we had great chemistry, a lot of passion. Fans of dark hairy men will really love it!

Q Tales of the Arabian Nights is being described as one of the hottest films ever made. Have you seen it yet? What are your thoughts on the whole "arabian" mystique as a sexual fantasy?

I've seen some of the scenes I worked on. Its a stunning film! The cast is amazing. The sets are decadent and the sex— It's pretty over the top. We take the Arabesque series to the next level. What do I think of the Arabian sexual mystique? I think the Hollywood version of the Arabian Nights is very sensual, sexy. If only real life were as much fun.

Q You also were pretty important on this shoot behind the camera! We hear Chris Ward has recently named you as his principal videographer! That's gotta put a grin on your face! What is it like shooting for Chris--we hear that although he claims to be nice, he really requires top notch work and gets it any way he can!

Yeah yeah, I know Chris is a task master but his films are the best! You have to work hard to be the best, the magic doesn't just happen. I love working with Chris! We have the same perspective on what hot sex is. He's also a great mentor, I'm learning a lot. It's a dream come true to be his videographer.

Q You filmed the behind the scenes and the solos for the special features for this project. Tell us about these.

In the weeks before the release, Hard Friction.com will be featuring the 45 minute film we shot behind the scenes. Its packed with sex and interviews with all the stars... Francesco D'Macho, Damien Crosse, Wilfried Knight, Adam Killian— the cast list is impressive! Its a playful 'cock-umentary' made for the fans. So its more about the fun side of production the antics the guys get up to in between shoots.
