LOS ANGELES—What's billed as the most ambitious project of Stormy Daniels' career, the epic two-disc Wicked/Adam & Eve co-production Wanted is now shipping to retailers. In the big-budget western saga, Daniels directs Wicked Pictures colleagues Jessica Drake and Brad Armstrong along with a cast of adult stars that includes Anikka Albrite, Allie Haze and Amber Rayne. The title (a massive production that AVN covered here and here) is slated to arrive in stores September 16.
Wanted finds Daniels returning to the blockbuster territory she mined in such mega-productions as Operation Desert Stormy and Operation Tropical Stormy nearly a decade ago. “This was an eight-year passion project of mine, and it has turned out amazingly well," Daniels said. “I couldn’t be more proud to have the support of two of the industry’s biggest companies, Wicked Pictures and Adam & Eve. They gave me the creative freedom to make this movie happen. I’m excited to share Wanted with the world!”
Wanted is set in 1879 in Diablo City, Arizona. The suspicious death of wealthy landowner Frank Garrett triggers a chain of events that brings gunfire and bloodshed to the streets of Diablo City. Daniels spent months researching Arizona in the 1880s and 1890s in order to ensure historical authenticity. The town of Diablo City is based on Dodge City, while the movie also contains nods to many of the notable figures roaming the Arizona Territory at the time, including Billy the Kid and Doc Holliday. All the props and wardrobe are authentic as well.
Daniels’ cast features such notable performers as Brendon Miller, Chanel Preston, Mia Li, Eric Masterson, Tommy Gunn, Jodi Taylor, Cassidy Klein, Jay Crew, Dick Chibbles, Ryan McLane and many others.
News of the project has swept both the mainstream and adult entertainment worlds throughout the summer, with the music video for “On the Run,” the movie’s theme song, premiering exclusively on the entertainment site Uproxx.com. Performed by the Wicked Outlaws, the “On the Run” music video includes scenes from Wanted.
Shot and edited in 16×9 HD, the two-disc DVD package delivers the polished performances and production values Daniels’ fans have come to expect and demand. In addition to the 179-minute feature, which comes encased in deluxe packaging, the release also contains extensive behind-the-scenes footage, three bonus sex scenes, a photo gallery, trailers and other exclusive content.
Adam & Eve head of production Rachel Vigneaux expressed satisfaction for her comapny's role in co-producing Daniels’ dream project. “We are thrilled to be working with Wicked on Stormy’s movie. We are excited to be bringing such a star-packed movie to customers.”
Wicked Pictures president and owner Steve Orenstein echoed, “Stormy is having the year of her career for us. Thank you to Adam & Eve for appreciating the vision of her epic western and co-producing Wanted with us.”
