LOS ANGELES - Chi Chi LaRue has completed principal photography on Taken: To the Lowest Level, a new feature for Channel 1 Releasing.
LaRue changed the video's working title, Take, after being inspired upon the completion of filming. She noted the film was such a filthy, nasty, beautiful production that it deserved a more eloquent title.
Taken will be released in two versions. The director's cut will feature extreme fetish such as watersports, toys, enemas, candle wax, whipping and other bondage action. An extended edition will be scaled back slightly.
Philip Aubrey leads a cast of C1R regulars like Tyler Saint, Josh West, Zack Jamison, Zane Jacobs and Dominic Pacifico in addition to C1R first-timers including David Taylor, Chad Manning, Luke Cassidy, Derek De Silva and Diesel Washington. In addition, Taken introduces newcomers Mitchell Rock and C1R discovery Shane Risk.
Taken's cast is rounded out by C1R exclusives Blake Riley, Jeremy Bilding and Johnny Hazzard.
Among the film's most notable scenes, according to LaRue, is one featuring Adam Killian. Ten years in the making, the scene began gestating after LaRue and Killian met at Southern Decadence. Over the intervening decade, LaRue repeatedly extended offers to cast Killian. Although Killian declined to perform on camera, he joined the C1R team as a videographer.
LaRue did not reveal how she convinced the reticent Killian to change his mind, but that he pleased the director no end.
Taken: To the Lowest Level is expected to be available at C1R.com and Chi Chi LaRue's boutique in June and to be released to retail stores in August.
