LOS ANGELES—Wicked Pictures on Friday unveiled promotional art for An Inconvenient Mistress, the upcoming blockbuster release from veteran director Brad Armstrong and three-time AVN Best Actress jessica drake.
Co-starring Ryan Driller, Armstrong's latest feature takes aim at the kind of complicated financial schemes that have led to the nation's economic collapse in the past. The script's timely and dramatic events are explored on a human scale, a tactic previously employed by the filmmaker and star on such hit collaborations as Aftermath and DNA. An Inconvenient Mistress is slated to arrive in stores September 27, 2017.
"It has a very involved script with a lot going on, and it is all played very realistically," the writer/director says of his latest production. "It reminds me a bit of Aftermath, which also featured jessica and Ryan. It could almost be a 'prequel.' But although the movie is very much a jessica and Ryan vehicle, an incredibly talented supporting cast creates the framework for them to shine even brighter."
As Armstrong's saga begins, Ava (drake) is involved with ambitious—and married—businessman Ryan. Their relationship is one of convenience; they meet up to explore sex clubs and indulge their fantasies. When Ryan wants to play, he simply tells his wife Catherine that he needs to work late. She suspects something may be going on, but isn’t entirely convinced. William, Ryan's boss, is excited about an upcoming merger which will allow them to buy stocks at a historic low and profit astronomically. But Ryan soon learns that his affair is on the verge of being exposed, as are his firm's unscrupulous business dealings.
Fearful that Ava could be acting on insider information, Ryan confronts his mistress. Ava insists she knows nothing about the stock market and hasn't mentioned the upcoming merger to anyone. But the Security & Exchange Commission has received a tip on possible insider trading at William’s company and has tied Ryan to Ava. With the S.E.C. closing in and Catherine learning of both the affair and the firm's duplicity, Ryan and William find themselves outmatched by Ava at every turn.
"Playing Ava in An Inconvenient Mistress was a creative experience," drake says of her latest collaboration with Armstrong. "She is very human, and I integrated some of my own unique characteristics into the part, but there was no imitating of a movie or TV show or costuming to rely upon. I'm grateful Ryan Driller is such a talented actor and an all around amazing performer. He gave so much depth and substance to his character, and as a team, I feel we have a chemistry that viewers will really appreciate."
For her part, drake is quick to point out that expressive acting and thoughtful characterizations are what set Wicked's output apart from the competition. "Acting in adult films is something that largely goes unappreciated, but being contracted to Wicked Pictures allows me the ability to express myself sexually through my movies while simultaneously taking on other roles and characters. In the midst of the never ending sea of simple scenes online, viewers are once again gravitating to porn of a higher quality, with storylines and plot pertinent sex." drake and Driller's co-stars include Armstrong, Bridgette B, Cali Carter, Ember Snow, Summer Brielle, Honey Gold, India Summer, Morgan Lee, Eric Masterson, Isiah Maxwell, Michael Vegas, and Seth Gamble.
Temptation, desire and a touch of the taboo are explored by drake in this sexually-charged feature. "Since I only shoot a limited number of movies in a year, I concentrate on projects I really want to do and use them as vehicles to showcase my sexuality, " she reveals. "I do DPs in this movie, an orgy, a four-way, and sex in public places. At the helm of this project is the multi-talented Brad Armstrong, as the writer, director, art director, set designer, and stylist. With his incredible, action-packed script coupled with his perfect casting and on-set direction, this movie is going to be a guaranteed hit. I love that Wicked Pictures continues to be the leader in high-quality adult movies."
Both shot and edited in widescreen 16×9 HD, this new Wicked Pictures DVD will be packed with additional content, including three bonus sex scenes, behind-the-scenes coverage, a hardcore still gallery and other added-value items exclusive to the physical release.
