Combat Zone Prepares Melissa Lauren's Directorial Debut

Combat Zone is set to release the first edition of a new series called Plucked Then Fucked, which is also Melissa Lauren’s directorial debut for the gonzo company.

Combat Zone owner Dion Giarrusso, who just returned from Brazil after shooting another upcoming release, 4bi4, told AVN.com that Plucked Then Fucked continues the company's mission of using brand new talent.

“I feel like Plucked Then Fucked came out great,” said Giarrusso. “The strong point of this one is that these are all new starlets and Melissa is a very intense director who always tries to get the most out of each girl…so it’s a really good balance.”

“To me, the best scene is between Manuel [Ferrara] and Arial Alexis…[there’s] a lot of energy in that scene.” Lauren also told AVN.com that she was pleased with the scene between Ferrara and newcomer Alexis.

“I think the title turned out really well,” Lauren said. “This was my first experience working with all new girls, and so I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t challenging, but I got some really solid scenes.”

Giarrusso said that Plucked Then Fucked features an array of fresh starlets, including box cover girl Samantha Sin, Nautica Evans, Alexis, Peyton, Lindsey Meadows and Vanessa Figueroa.

Giarrusso said of Lauren, “I said it from Day One about Melissa, she is a one-stop shop. She does everything, and she shoots some of the best stills in the business.

“Melissa loves her work, and that is why she will do wonderfully in this business, as a whole.”

Lauren added that her next venture for Combat Zone will have her casting all the scenes, as well directing and shooting the stills. “I get to use whoever I want in the next release,” said Lauren. “I'm really excited.” The French starlet/director said she is going to shoot four scenes Thursday. “It will be two girls and one guy in each scene, with two additional guys who come in at the end of each scene.”

“It’s been great working with Dion,” said Lauren. “He gives me the freedom to do whatever I want…I guess he trusts me.

“All I can do is hope that the stuff turns out great.”

Plucked Then Fucked will be released on August 14. Go to www.combatzone.net for more information.
