TANYA HYDE AMONG OTHER JAN. PRIVATE RELEASES

Bettina \nLOS ANGELES - What Private Media Group is calling a "spectacular film," Tanya Hyde's London Calling, spearheads another group of January releases from the adult video maker. And, meanwhile, Private and Penthouse are now working on their first film together.

"Five excellent scenes with the best hardcore sex," says Private of London Calling, which features Bettina, Monique Covet, Ingrid Swede, and 21-year-old Chantell. "(This) will be one of the great surprises that the new Millenium will bring to all Private friends."

Also on the January release schedule will be Private Gold 40: House of Love, filmed by Pierre Woodman and featuring Inga, Ines, Monica Rossi, and others; The Matador Series 3, shot in Prague by Jean Yves LeCastel; and Horny Housewives 5 by Remington Steel and featuring Angie, Francis, Katrina, and Shannon, with a little help from Jessica Blake.

Meanwhile, Call Girl, the first co-production between Private and Penthouse, began shooting in late October in Paris. It's the first entry in a new joint video and DVD adult line to be released in February. Private says it's producing both hard and soft versions of the film, directed by Antonio Adamo (Sex Shot, Devil in the Flesh). Silvia Saint stars in the joint production.
