Who knew that all along Alexis Ford was just waiting for the right opportunity to show us her dark side? Cast mostly as the innocent girl-next-door during her Adam & Eve contract days, Ford goes for the gusto as a free agent, particularly with the recent news that she's starring in the next edition of Jules Jordan's celebrated Dark Side.
In Alexis Ford Dark Side the blond bombshell performs a series of memorable firsts: anal, interracial, interracial anal, double penetration and a blow bang. No doubt this title will be one to stock deep when it comes out in September.
"It's really an honor to do this movie," Ford said. "Considering who did this movie before me, I know I have big shoes to fill, and I know Jules wouldn't be doing this if he didn't believe in me. I'm showing a side no one's ever seen before."
Ford follows in the footsteps of Jenna Haze and Gina Lynn, who both had Dark Side star vehicles. Jenna Haze Dark Side in 2006 became an instant sensation and was particularly memorable because it featured the now-retired AVN Hall of Famer's first boy/girl scenes in over four years, along with her first interracial scene.
So how did Ford manage to convince Jordan to resurrect Dark Side after nearly six years? It all started, as many things do these days, on Twitter. Ford began following Jordan and the two exchanged messages before deciding to meet in Hollywood for sushi.
Eschewing saving her on-camera sexual firsts for her website, Ford wanted a tangible keepsake product for her fans to collect. Website subscriptions eventually expire, leaving these career milestones lost in the ether, whereas a DVD can stay in a fan's collection forever.
At first, Ford said, Jordan was a bit hesitant; he's done only two Dark Sides before and each one has to be in accordance with his vision. The pair spent approximately three months hashing out specifics, from sexual scenarios to locations to the wardrobe and makeup.
AVN spoke to Ford halfway through production and she described to us how filming had been going so far, in addition to what she was looking forward to—namely the fantasy d.p. scenario that she would play out the following week. She had already shot at boy/girl scene with Nacho Vidal and her interracial anal debut with Lex the Impaler himself, Lexington Steele.
"I really had to psyche myself up for my anal scene with Lexington Steele," she said. "Oh-em-gee is his dick huge! I wasn't sure I wanted it up my ass, but I do anal in my personal life so physically I knew I could handle it. He went totally balls deep—it's an incredible scene."
And what about that d.p.?
"I want to play it up that I'm totally innocent, very playful, virginal," Ford said. "Like the viewer can't imagine this pure little angel making out with a boy much less getting pounded by two huge cocks in both her holes at the same time. I really want to be completely overwhelmed by cock. At the end I want to be a mess—a tear-streaked, orgasm-quivering, cum-soaked sex doll."
Ford said that working with Jordan was all that she expected, and more.
"The great thing about working together is that we both wanted the same thing," Ford said. "We really had the same vision for this and wanted to make it the best possible. I think it's the best performance of my career. It was really great working together because we both pushed each other to be great. Believe me, you're going to want to own this one."
In recent months Ford's career has been white hot. Since ending her exclusive arrangement with Adam & Eve in September 2011, Ford briefly worked exclusively for Brazzers, and then followed that up with scenes for Naughty America, Reality Kings, Smash Pictures and Penthouse. She was named June's Penthouse Pet of the Month. Also in June, Ford inked a five-picture deal with Rob Black's Sinister X Syndicate, the first movie of which finds her playing Snow White.
In a way, Ford's like a vintage Ferrari that's been kept in the garage too long. She's an absolute dynamite sexual performer who was limited to making more couples-friendly fare. And that's not a knock on Adam & Eve; they just don't produce the type of movies Jordan does. Sometimes you just need to open up the throttle and get that baby out on the open road.
"This isn't a new me," Ford asserts. "This was the real me just waiting to come out."
