LOS ANGELES—Director/performer Nacho Vidal throws his hat for the first time in over a decade into the feature arena with The Player, out February 8 via DVD and VOD from Evil Angel.
"Since Back 2 Evil, I think I haven't had the chance to really show how good I really can be as a director and producer, writer and cameraman, photographer and actor," Vidal said. "More than a porn movie, The Player is pornographic cinema. I would dare to say this is the most Nacho Vidal movie in all of my career. Nacho Vidal in his fullest expression, the essence of Nacho Vidal—The Player is that movie."
"This is Nacho's first feature in more than 10 years," Evil Angel vice president of sales and marketing Alexandra Kelley noted. "It was inspired by The Game, a Michael Douglas thriller from the 1990s. Nacho's overall creativity and his acting talent really come through. The Player shows him in a new light—the fans will get to know him better."
In the movie, Vidal contracts a top madam (Yasmin Scott) to assign devious adventures. "I felt super good in every scene because they were created in my perverted mind and they're things that always have attracted me to show in one of my movies," Vidal explained. "Maybe I've never done this because of 'what they would say,' but I'm at an age and a different level where I can do whatever pleases me."
He elaborated, "I wanted in some way to reach out to my fans. There's a scene with a few guys and there's small flashes showing them about to suck my cock, and it seems there's some contact with these guys. I think this is super good for all the gay fans that are always asking me when I'll do some gay content; this is for them.
"In another scene, Silvia Rubi puts on a strap-on and apparently penetrates me in the ass, to honor all the women who are dying to hurt me sexually!" he added with a laugh.
Additional scenes include a public "girlfriend experience" with Alexa Tomas and squirting encounters with Soraya Wells and Scott.
"I don't want to say that I'm going to stop making gonzo, which I love, which I've been making for many years and my fans like," Vidal assured. "I feel very proud of this project, for my own ego. People may think we only make gonzo, but a lot of us working in this industry have a lot more to give."
