LOS ANGELES CA, UNITED STATES, NORTH AMERICA, EARTH, SOL SYSTEM, MILKY WAY GALAXY – (FEBRUARY 9, 2012) – With “a mind flip and a time slip” the cast and crew of Brad Armstrong’s Wicked smash hit The Rocki Whore Picture Show: A Hardcore Parody gave “sensual daydreams to one and all” at the 29th Annual AVN Awards Show. The gifted director’s outrageous musical swept the awards with ease, scoring no less than nine major victories. A deliciously erotic spoof of the gender-bending cult hit of yesteryear, “Rocki Whore” won the top prize in its field, Best Parody Comedy, before earning a well-deserved Best Director – Parody statue for Armstrong and receiving such other major awards as Best Screenplay – Parody, Best Editing, Best DVD Extras, Best Art Direction, Best Make-Up, Non-Sex Performance and Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project.

The gifted actor is returning to the X-rated screen as a gruff, no-nonsense ramrod-straight alien tracker. Of the exciting casting news, Armstrong enthuses, “It’s a great role and so crucial to the story that I didn’t want to make it a non-sex part. I’m very happy that Randy is returning to the business just for this performance – I really feel he’ll be a perfect fit.” Spears‘ younger, gender-hopping sidekick will be played gifted industry actor Ethan Hunt.In an interesting casting twist,AVN award-nominated industry superstar Misty Stone will play be playing the same character in scenes where the hyperactive agent is disguised as a female.

The special effects required to create the movie’s extraterrestrial characters are presenting the filmmaker with some unique – and expensive – production challenges. “To create our aliens, we’re working exclusively with mainstream special effects artists. Some of them are people I’ve collaborated with before on my earlier science fiction projects like Euphoria, while some are brand new to me.” At press time, Armstrong is supervising the intricate work of several different special effects departments. In the finished film, computer generated imagery, special effects make-up creations and practical effects will seamlessly blend to bring the bizarre monsters, invading aliens and futuristic hardware to XXX life.
Men In Black: A Hardcore Parody is shooting now, with major filming continuing for several days. While certain to appeal to science fiction fans and pop culture buffs alike, the film’s many erotic encounters (including a ten person orgy) are certain to prove irresistible to the adult press. Reporters interested in chronicling this exciting production for their website, magazine or blog are invited to contact Hethalein Mares (heth@wickedpictures.com) at 818-349-3593 to learn more about the most exciting parody of 2012. “I worked harder on The Rocki Whore Picture Show than I have on any other picture to date, and Men In Black is going to be even more challenging,” Armstrong says of his next epic parody. “But I know we have the cast, crew and resources needed to make the best film possible.”
