LOS ANGELES—Adam & Eve Pictures will continue its relationship with director Will Ryder for another year, encouraged to see more original features from the AVN Hall of Famer following the 12 AVN Award nominations his comedy Bad Babes Inc. received for the upcoming 2018 ceremony.
The next title in the pipeline for the studio from Ryder and producing partner Scott David is a Riley Reid-headlining thriller now called Cursed XXX (changed from the title first announced in September, Shunned).
"With Bad Babes Inc. getting so many nominations, we wanted to line up these guys for next year and continue the winning streak," Adam & Eve head of production Rachel V said.
The relationship with Adam & Eve began for Ryder and David with their 2008 parody Not Bewitched XXX, which went on to win the AVN Award for Best Sex Comedy.
"We didn't know too much about producing movies back then," Ryder said, "but I remember watching a lot of Brad Armstrong films, and we got super lucky and created Not Bewitched XXX as one of our first feature movies."
Noted Adam & Eve general manager Bob Christian, "We took a shot with these guys back in the day, and they've been delivering hit after hit for us ever since. Bad Babes Inc., starring Katie Morgan and a really great cast I might add, is definitely their best movie yet. It's just fantastic."
Christian continued, "The one thing with these guys is we always get a beautifully produced story, and they never do the same thing twice. In fact we're eagerly anticipating Cursed XXX, which is their first paranormal thriller starring Riley Reid. It's just a great relationship that we want to continue."
In addition to Bad Babes Inc., Adam & Eve has strong representation in this year's AVN Awards nominations with its other two big features, Agent 69 and Adventures With the Baumgartners, from respective directors Jay Allan and Kay Brandt.
"We couldn't be happier to be included in the conversation with some of the great producers and directors they have over there," David offered.
Bad Babes Inc. received the following AVN Award nominations: Best Comedy; Best Actress—Katie Morgan; Best Supporting Actress—Luna Star; Best Supporting Actor—Alec Knight; Best Non-Sex Performance—Frank Bukkwyd; Best Non-Sex Performance—Sarah Vandella; Best Screenplay—Will Ryder; Best Editing—Hollywood Max; Best Makeup—Cammy Ellis; Best Art Direction; Best Marketing Campaign - Individual Project; Best Director - Feature—Will Ryder.
