EI has many upcoming releases over the next few months. Hear is a run down for their Surrender Cinema line.

EROTIC SURVIVOR, Seduction Cinema’s newest production, is a spoof of the wildly successful reality-television game show, will be available in stores on February 6. However, but Seduction Cinema is accepting pre-orders for this product on the website right now.

For fans ordering on-line (VHS or DVD), copies of this exciting production will ship in late December

THE EROTIC GHOST starring Tammy Parks, Darian Caine and Misty Mundae, tells the story of a depressed housewife, neglected by her corporate jet-setting husband, and so bored that she begins to have visions. Unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, she is unaware that she being seduced by The Erotic Ghost. Scheduled for a Feb 6 release, The Erotic Ghost will be available on both VHS and DVD. DVD extras include a making-of documentary

GLADIATOR EROTICUS is the most ambitious Seduction Cinema project to date. Currently in post-production, GLADIATOR EROTICUS, an erotic spoof of the blockbuster Gladiator, stars Darian Caine in her most demanding role, that of Eroticus, a roman general who fights in the lesbian gladiator games in order to free her people from the tyranny of Emperor Dickus Minimus (John P. Fedele). Starring a veritable who’s who of Seduction Cinema talent, including Misty Mundae, Jade DuBoir, Heidi Christine, Lily Tiger and Debbie Rochon, Gladiator Eroticus is scheduled for an official release of March 6. Pre-orders will be taken on the website by the year’s end

Among the releases on VHS and DVD is INN OF A THOUSAND SINS, this 1974 feature will contain the all-new featurette THE VIBRATING MAID starring Misty Mundae and Lily Tiger. THE VIBRATING MAID was specially created for this release by Factory 2000.

Also on the slate is I LIKE THE GIRLS WHO DO, directed by Hans Billian. This feature will contain an as-yet unnamed feature starring Misty Mundae and Mia Copia

IN THE FLEXH, starring Amy Lynn Baxter and Ashlyn Gere recently picked up by Seduction Cinema. IN THE FLESH is a last look at the New York Strip Scene.

Mike Leonard co-produced and co-directed this feature, which will be packaged with the cult-classic DLOOD, BULLETS, AND BUFFOONS, also starring Amy Lynn Baxter, and was written and directed by Zachary Winston Snygg. The DVD also contains such fabulous extras as Amy Lynn Baxter’s on-stage shower and oil shows, and Ashlyn Gere’s lotion show. (A whole “moisturizing” theme going on here) Scheduled for release on March 6, pre-orders will be taken on the Seduction Cinema website in December

The all-new NAKED CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUT will be out February 6. Produced by Seduction Cinema and John Kain (the man behind the popular Nude Yoga, one of the top-selling tapes on Amazon.com). This special release will be packaged on VHS and DVD with COLLEGE COEDS UNCOVERED – also produced by John Kain, who had this to say about his adventures on campus: “I was basically taking videotaping college ladies, showing them in rather sensual vignettes, studying, running through the woods and showering buck naked.

Also by Kain, will be the DVD premiere of CYBEROTICA, following its success on VHS. This is a sci-fi tale of lonely women, virtual reality goggles, and the pre-programmed fantasies they convey. “[I was] Inspired by this giant computer room at the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and the lightbulb came on. I knew someone there, and I asked him if I could sneak in and take some shots, and I could then blend together the computer equipment and the virtual reality travel sequences in the editing. There’s gotta be a sensual reason for combining sensual women and all this computer equipment… and then, boom: virtual reality glasses. It all came together. The power of gigabyte mania.” CYBEROTICA will be available on DVD on March 6.

Underground documentaria, Jeff Krulik, recently premiered the newest installment of his famous PARKING LOT series. You might have heard of the first film in the franchise, the greatly praised HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT. Those who have never experienced Jeff’s hilarious work can now view HARRY POTTER PARKING LOT for free by downloading it from the Jeff’s official website.

Jeff has also started work on a new film, HITLER’S HAT. The following comes directly from Jeff’ website.

“Richard Marowitz, 19-year old Jewish American GI, was a member of famed Rainbow Division who liberated Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29,1945. The next day,as a member of his Intelligence and Reconnaissance unit, he was sent on a mission to sweep one of Hitler's vacated homes in Munich for info that might have been left behind.

“Searching through the house, Marowitz opened a bedroom closet and found a top hat with the initials A.H. printed in gold inside. Still angered by what he had seen at Dachau, Marowitz jumped on the hat, crushing it, imagining Hitler's head still inside it. He then took it as a souvenir of war.

“Marowitz returned home to Albany, New York where he became a clothing manufacturer and semi-pro magician. For the next 40 years, Hitler's Hat fittingly sat in a brown paper bag, buried at the bottom of his magic trick closet.

“Marowitz now loans it to museums, and brings it to reunions of his war buddies. At the Rainbow Division Reunion, I'll be there with my camera to record for posterity the story of HITLER'S HAT.”

Mark Pirro says “it's pretty certain that RECTUMA will be our next film. We're working on the script and lining up a production crew. We're even putting out the preliminary word for actors. So, actors...send us your pictures and resume's. We're looking for all types, especially Japanese and Chinese men and women. There are two parts which require female Japanese twins (Tee and Nee). Anyone may apply, union and non-union. However, if you are a member of SAG, it may be advisable that you go ‘financial core’ if you want to be in our film.”

Look for the film to be released in 2002. For a one-minute teaser, head over to the Official Mark Pirro website.

“In the tradition of Godzilla and Mothra, comes RECTUMA - a 20 story tall butt that is terrorizing Tokyo. To help stamp out hunger in the world, a Japanese scientist has perfected a formula that will increase the size of any organic matter. He reasons that one drop of this formula on a grain of rice could feed a neighborhood. However, sabotage is in the works when his associate flushes it down the toilet. Unbeknownst to the saboteur, some of the formula spills onto the toilet seat. Later that day, nature calls and the saboteur sits on the tainted seat. He begins to feel a tingling sensation on his backside and the beginning of Rectuma is emerging. Over the next few weeks, Rectuma grows and grows until it finally breaks away from its host and walks a path of destruction in Japan. Rectuma will make extensive use of CGI for its visual effects. “

Geoffrey Paul de Valois (VAMPIRE CENTERFOLDS, VAMPIRE CONSPIRACY), of Digital Entertainment Group, has changed the name of his film AMERIKKA: YEAR 2000 THE MOVIE to DOT-COM: THE MOVIE. This is the second title change for the film and Geoffrey says it might change again.

“(We) will start shooting after the actor's strike this summer is finished, hopefully by Fall. (We are) currently casting and rewriting the script and have just installed a completely digital 2 camera studio and post-production facility based on Mac and DV equipment.” After trying to get the film off the ground for over a year, it looks like Geoffrey is now on track.

You can read an online novel based on the screenplay by going to the official DOT-COM website.
