AVN Hall of Fame director Gregory Dark will make his mainstream feature film debut in May with the release of See No Evil, a horror movie designed as a star vehicle for World Wrestling Entertainment star Kane.
The release of See No Evil on May 19 will mark the first time a mainstream feature film directed by a known porn director has achieved a nationwide theatrical release.
While Lions Gate Entertainment, the company releasing the film, doesn’t herald Dark’s past in the adult industry, it isn’t hiding Dark’s participation in the movie either, allowing him to use the same professional name he used on many of his adult projects, which includes such XXX classics as New Wave Hookers and Café Flesh.
After retiring from directing adult movies in the mid-90s, Dark became a successful music video director, helming projects for major artists such as Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, and Linkin Park.
See No Evil, which casts the 7-foot-tall Kane as a psychopathic killer who terrorizes a group of delinquents sentenced to perform community service at an abandoned hotel where he is hiding out, is the first project from World Wrestling Entertainment Films, the production arm of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
Lion’s Gate released a trailer for See No Evil on January 6, running it before the horror flick Hostel. The trailer can be seen at the movie’s official Web site.
Other names Dark has used as an adult movie director include the Dark Brothers, Alexander Hippolyte, and a handful of other names.
