The Evil Empire, the home of such renowned producer/directors as John Stagliano, John Leslie, Joey Silver, Gregory Dark, Rocco Siffredi, and Randy West, has inked a deal with Apocalypse Productions, the controversial Las Vegas-based XXX video company, formed in late 1998 by Thomas Zupko, Brian Surewood, and Jay Stone.
"Their first release, Anal Ball, is one of the best videos I've seen in years." John Stagliano, The Evil Empire's founder and president, says enthusiastically. "It brings porn into the 21st century."
Produced and directed by Zupko, Anal Ball can best be described as a whacked-out sexual assault, where absolutely nothing is held sacred. It stars Caroline Pierce, Elle Devine, Amia Amore, Anita Cannibal, Erica Locket and features Apocalypse's contract girl Montana Gunn in arguably her strongest and hottest scene ever. In it, Brian Surewood spits pieces of an apple in Gunn's face, stuffs the apple core in her mouth, and shoves her head in an oven. In no particular order, he then flicks cigarette ashes in her hair, cracks an egg open on her back, and inserts a tray of ice cubes up her ass. Not to be outdone, Gunn shoots the cubes out of her butt with her rectal muscles, sucks on the sullied ice fragments like rock candy, then coughs up the juice on Surewood's cock, which Surewood greedily uses as lubricant to fuck her anally.
Anal Ball also includes a sure-to-be offensive take-off on the lord's prayer and various politically incorrect stereotypes of American Indians, Catholics, Japanese, dwarves, law enforcement and anything else with a pulse, heartbeat, and identifiable cultural characteristic.
According to Zupko, the video's soundtrack, featuring the LA-based death metal band Burial, is a virtual assault on the senses. "We owe a lot to our editor and musical director, Montell Bradford, who is by far the best I have worked with and an artist in the purest sense."
The pairing of Apocalypse and The Evil Empire came after Zupko had a falling out with Arrow Productions due to what he would only describe as "creative differences" with its salesman. Zupko says, however, that in retrospect it was a blessing in disguise and the best thing that's ever happened to him. "John is the maestro, my biggest influence," he confesses, "and to be with him and the Evil Empire is the greatest honor of my life. We never thought in a million years John would be interested in us. "
Stagliano admits he really wasn't prepared to take on a new filmmaker, but that Apocalypse's vision was too original and cutting edge to pass up. "The first time I watched Anal Ball, I called Tom up and asked him what peepshow booth he crawled out of." Stagliano also insists he will place no restraints on Zupko and that he will let the director's perverted imagination take him where it may. "And that," Stagliano emphasizes, "even scares me!"
Zupko promises that in upcoming projects he will make Rob Black and Max Hardcore look like Shirley Temple and that he will offend everyone and everything. "The bottom line is that there is nothing like putting your dick in the tight ass of a wet whore," the brazen upstart boasts, "but equally entertaining is poking fun at the hypocritical religious, political, and cultural institutions a desperate society holds sacred. Hey, the Pope buttfucking a drop-dead gorgeous nun while using holy oil as lube is rollicking good fun! Oh yeah, and by the way, Rob Black can blow me!"
Anal Ball will be released by The Evil Empire June 23rd and be followed by eight Apocalypse features a year.
