SAN FRANCISCO - Raging Stallion Studios has released Grunts: The New Recruits on Blu-ray disc. The film, which has won numerous awards, including the GAYVN Award for Best Picture, is the first Blu-ray disc for Raging Stallion.
The company feels the format will be the new wave for retail sales over the next few years. A Raging Stallion spokesperson said initial sales of Grunts on Blu-ray are strong, demonstrating gay porn fans are up-to-date with their technology.
At the same time it made the Grunts announcement, Raging Stallion outlined an ambitious plan to release almost all major new movies in the Blu-ray format. Dominance of the Blu-ray market will provide a strong foundation for the continued expansion of the studio, the spokesman said, adding that the company expects to release one new Blu-ray disc every three to five weeks.
The next Blu-ray feature for Raging Stallion will be a Ben Leon feature entitled The 4th Floor, which stars Raging Stallion exclusive Logan McCree.
"The new Blu-ray technology really allows us to showcase our beautiful men as never before," Raging Stallion president Chris Ward said. "The image is so clear that it almost seems 3-D. After viewers see Blu-ray fucking, they are going to have a hard time going back to the old blurry images they now have. The advance in picture quality is at least as significant as going from black-and-white to color."
Raging Stallion has developed an aggressive price structure to allow retailers and consumers to enjoy the new Blu-ray discs at no additional cost, Ward said.
"We strongly feel that porn consumers should not be gouged with high prices on this new technology," he noted. "Although these discs are expensive to replicate, we decided to keep the price points the same as our regular DVDs. After all, the footage has already been paid for and used on the standard DVD, so Blu-ray profits are all icing on the cake anyway."
Ward further observed that Raging Stallion, which intends to produce up to 15 Blu-ray discs per year, is able to save in production costs via economy of scale.
"The software to do proper authoring is expensive, but when we spread it out over many products it becomes very affordable," he said.
