AMG Releases ‘Suruba: Azul'

SAN FRANCISCO - Suruba: Azul, the latest title from Athletic Model Guild, trades the green, tropical settings familiar from the company's previous AMG Brasil products for a background set by the deep-blue Atlantic Ocean while retaining the hardcore orgy theme.

With a cast of 10 youthful Brazilian men, including cover model Lucas Lucky (last seen in AMG's Carnaval), the action in Suruba: Azul is spontaneous and outdoors.

"I was hanging out with some friends on a private beach just outside of Rio on a day off," AMG president Dennis Bell said of his inspiration for Suruba: Azul. "We were just kicking back drinking caipirinhas on an absolutely cloudless day. The expanse of the sky melded with the horizon of the south Atlantic. After a few rounds, a couple of the guys decided to strip down and go skinny-dipping. They peeled off their sungas [swimsuits] and jumped straight into the clear, blue water. When they came out, their caramel skin glistened in the sun like gold against the blue sea. It is a classic tropical color combination. I used that image as the starting point for the film."

The film's opening scene finds Lucky, who was discovered by Kristen Bjorn, perched atop a wall covered with dark blue tiles. In front of him lies an extravagant private pool, complete with waterfall. Behind him, the crisp blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. Bell said finding the right spot was a challenge, but he knew he had located the right place when he saw the ocean view.

"When I saw it, I immediately imagined Lucas jack-hammering one of his costars on the tile, with a clear blue sky, the blue tile of the pool and the blue Atlantic behind them," Bell said.

That particular shot, featuring Lucky and Jack Benelli, shows up about halfway through the climax of the film: a seven-man, poolside orgy. Lucky said it was the most exciting scene he has shot for the studio to date.

"You know, I really loved working with Marcelo Mastro in Carnaval," Lucky said. "He is more my type, but Jack had a crazy energy that just turned me on. I don't know how to say it, but it was intense. He is insatiable."

Suruba: Azul is available from the studio's Web store and retail locations. Wholesale orders are available from Paladin Video.
