Michael Lucas' 'Gigolo' Set For November Release

NEW YORK - Lucas Entertainment's Michael Lucas' Gigolo is set for a Nov. 27 release at a price of $69.95. A special "Director's Edition" of the film will be available for $59.95 exclusively at the producer's website.

"This is an epic porn film in the same dramatic vein as Dangerous Liaisons and Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita," said Lucas Entertainment president and chief executive officer Michael Lucas. "Gigolo is more like a real feature that just so happens to have hot sex in it. The plot is in-depth with much attention to the acting, the videography is beautiful, and as always it is a collective effort of many people, from fashion stylists to interior designers, cameramen to photographers and models to non-sexual extras."

Directed by Lucas and Tony Dimarco - the team that won the Best Director GAYVN Award this year for Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita - Michael Lucas' Gigolo takes place in the dark, underground world of a New York City gigolo. Following the tragic death of his lover, ex-hustler Louis McMann (Lucas) is thrust back into that sordid world in order to survive and gets caught in a web of deceit, lies ... and murder.

The film also stars Lucas exclusives Ray Star, Ben Andrews, Erik Grant, and J., as well as Anthony Marks, Arpad Miklos, Zack Randall, Jason Ridge, Jason Sparks, Lars Svenson, Scott Tanner, Jimmy Trips and Kurt Wild.

"Being a gigolo is all about sex and style," said Dimarco, who wrote the film's screenplay. "To be successful in that world, you have to be good at what you do and look good doing it. So we've made sure the sex in the movie is extremely satisfying and all the actors look incredible when onscreen. We hired the best models and stylists New York City has to offer in order to achieve that."

The film also features non-sexual performances by Lucas exclusive Spencer Quest, the film's production manager, Joe Shepard, in two roles (following his memorable role as the receptionist in The Intern), and camerawoman extraordinaire Mr. Pam.

The Director's Edition will offer exclusive extras like a bonus watersports feature that includes Milos and Randall, Svenson and Sparks, and Star, J. and Randall; a bonus sex scene between Grant, Trips and Marks; a bonus extended sex scene between Svenson and Sparks; behind-the-scenes footage; a bonus music video from Shepard's Pie, Dark Bitch Woman; hardcore previews; photo galleries and Web links.

LucasBlog.com will offer exclusive galleries and scenes from the movie prior to its release.
