SAN FRANCISCO—Raging Stallion Studios today released a trailer for Brutal, its two-part, four-disc blockbuster fall release. The creation of award-winning director Tony DiMarco, Brutal tells the story of a group of urban men who know each other through a fighting gym. The movie explores why men are drawn to violence against the backdrop of a championship Mixed Martial Arts match.
The movie features performances by Ricky Sinz, Rusty Stevens, Jason Adonis, Angelo Marconi, Tommy Defendi, Brenn Wysen, Race Cooper and many other athletically inclined studs. When casting the $150,000 budgeted movie, DiMarco focused on hiring guys with fighting experience. Indeed, several of the cast members were once professional MMA fighters.
Explaining why he chose to do a fighting-based erotic movie, director DiMarco quoted Brutal’s protagonist. “Trent Diesel's character laments in the film, ‘Fighting and fucking, fucking and fighting—is there a difference?’ The act of sex in its pure primal sense is a violent act. Cocks pounding into assholes...so violent in its physical nature but on the flip side can give so much pleasure to the participants.”
DiMarco continued, “I wanted to look at the correlation of the two: Why do we find the act of two men fighting erotic? We want to turn away but we can't help but to watch. In MMA fighting we see two hot sweating guys on top of each other grappling, striking with only a thin layer of cloth separating them. When we look at it we can’t help but imagine them having sex, and Brutal takes it to that next step."
Raging Stallion head Chris Ward was excited about Brutal. "It’s a real blockbuster in the tradition of Grunts, To the Last Man and Focus/ReFocus—all of which went on to be the top-selling and award-winning movies of the past years. Tony has delivered another great movie in the Raging Stallion tradition. This is the movie of the year."
Brutal will be available exclusively thru GayDVD.com, TLA and Raging Stallion beginning Thanksgiving Day. The movie streets to the general wholesale market on Jan. 1, 2011.
San Francisco-based Raging Stallion has expanded production to 60 major titles per year. For more about Brutal and other releases, go to RagingStallion.com.
