On the heels of wrapping production on “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody,” a skintastic skewing of the 1960s TV show, Vivid Entertainment has announced the creation of Vivid-Superhero, a new imprint that will bring porn parodies of Superman (already in preproduction, according to the company), the Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk.

Vivid’s making of “Batman XXX” brought a lot of mainstream attention to the company, and the (clean) trailer was a hit on YouTube, surpassing expectations by notching more than 150,000 views in the first 24 hours. Part of the appeal was obviously the love for the characters. But this isn’t some cheesy, low-budget attempt to do a parody of a TV show, which have been proliferating on the porn scene (not that I know anything about movies called “Not the Cosbys” or “Not Gilligan’s Island”). Part of the interest and appeal is what seems like high production values and eye to detail such as hiring the original TV show’s costume designers to re-create outfits (the last detail according to Bleeding Cool, which has been all over this like vanilla scent on a stripper … not that I would know anything abut the latter). Axel Braun, who directed “Batman XXX,” will act as the lead director for the imprint and is also working on parodies “Godfather XXX” and “The Addams Family XXX” for Vivid. “Axel truly did an amazing job with (’Batman XXX’), and we agreed that together we could mine the really rich treasure of superheroes and have a lot of fun doing it,” said Vivid founder Steven Hirsch. The DVD hits certain stores May 24 (not that I know where these certain stores are). |
