MONTREAL—Gay romance studio Icon Male and director Nica Noelle pay homage to a Nabokov classic in the new feature Baby Boy, now available on DVD. Ian Levine stars in the adaptation of the novel Lolita, filling the role as the irresistible temptation dangled before an older man (Rodney Steele).
The cast also includes Nick Capra, Adam Russo, JD Phoenix, Kory Houston and Brad Kalvo, with Mz. Berlin in a non-sex role.
“Baby Boy is my gay homage to Nabokov's Lolita, with Ian Levine playing the male nymph and Rodney Steele as the much older man who defiantly indulges his lust for very young men,” said director Noelle. “I knew that I wanted Ian in the ‘Baby Boy’ role, but I couldn't start production until I found my ‘Mr. Humbert,’ who I'd spent the better part of last year searching for."
Noelle continued, “What's funny is that I cast Rodney based only on a picture that his agent had routinely forwarded to me. I knew as soon as I saw Rodney that I'd found my Humbert, but he was busy at the time so I had to wait a few months to get him. But my instincts were right, because Rodney Steele is one of the most talented performers I've ever worked with. His chemistry with Ian was extraordinary, and their sex scene together in Baby Boy is one of the most narratively perfect I've ever shot.”
But Steele wasn't the only performer praised by Noelle. “The entire cast did a fantastic job on this movie, and we're all so proud of the way it turned out. I hope the fans will appreciate how hard we worked on this film, and how beautiful everyone looks in their period piece outfits—not to mention the intense and sometimes almost disturbing sex scenes,” she said.
In Noelle's adaptation, mysterious older man Hugh Humbert (Steele) checks in to a New Hampshire inn, where he meets beautiful young man Beau "Baby Boy" Haze (Levine). As Beau's widowed mother makes a move for Hugh, young Beau warms up to the older man, suggesting they spend "boy time" together reading dirty magazines when his mother isn't around. Eventually Hugh can't resist the young, blonde boy's charms, and finds himself stopping at nothing to possess the seductive Baby Boy.
