Metro's coming out with a complete hologram box for Things Change. Pt. 3 of the Michael Zen series. Misty Rain changes from a dress to a bikini right before your very eyes as the colors shift. "It's really cool," said Metro GM Greg Alves. The company's doing 8,000 boxes for day-of-release. "If we don't win best boxcover concept for that, we're never going to win it, but, who knows," said Alves. Alves says he's looking to do another gangbang tape, that he's still getting calls from the Houston-one which was shot in early February.
Alves: "The idea of these things just draws people. I believe the Houston 500 tape will be the best selling tape out the door Metro's ever had. We got so much press - Details, Playboy, Maxim, Detour, GQ - all these magazines were there writing tons of stuff on it. And almost every adult publication was there. We're really going to slam with this title. I'm coming out with the DVD on the same day. I'm also doing a magazine that will go with the video. We'll also be selling the magazine on the newsstand, first."
With the success of its tour bus idea, Metro is now purchasing one of its own. "We'll have it for the summer," says Alves. The one that Metro had at CES was a leased bus, and an artist had designed a full-body decal for it that could be pulled off. "We're not going after the adult market this time," said Alves. "I'm going to bring this [bus] to every major sporting event I can think of. We're tailgating everywhere we go, be it the World Series, the NBA finals, the Super Bowl, Daytona or Sturgis," said Alves. Alves said he'd also like to get the bus seen at pro wrestling shows. "We'll do some adult bookstores, too, but a lot, lot less. We already have that market."
