NL- A lot of blood, sweat and tears has gone into the production of this movie. The trailer looks amazing. I have a feeling this movie is going to clean up at the awards this year. Lots of hot muscle men in very realistic fight scenes and beautiful women who want to have sex with them, this is a movie to look forward to seeing. (Hope this isn’t the final boxcover tho, it doesn’t portray the excitement of the movie)
(Hollywood, CA) The wait is finally over. One of this year’s most highly anticipated films in the adult industry debuts this month. The erotic sensation, "Spartacus MMXII" (http://www.spartacusmmxii.com), from London Gunn Films and Miko Lee Productions, will be hitting retailers on September 18th, distributed by Wicked Pictures. To celebrate the launch of "Spartacus MMXII", the cast and crew behind the film are showing the first ever, industry only private screening on September 13th at the London Gunn Ranch. Members of the adult industry are invited to see "Spartacus MMXII: The Beginning", a film that is sure to be the start of one of adult’s most successful franchises.
"Spartacus MMXII: The Beginning" is the epic tale of a slave, forced to fight for his life in the gladiator arena, who defied his captors and raised an army against the Roman Empire. Written, directed by and staring Marcus London, the film combines the passion and XXX content fans crave with the action, excitement and stunning cinematography viewers expect from big budget, mainstream movies. The producers, Marcus London, Tommy Gunn and Miko Lee worked tirelessly to create something that had never before been seen on the adult circuit and critics are hailing it as a spectacle that could launch a new breed of adult erotic films. The film has been chosen as a main contender for the Erotikos Film Festival that takes place in Jamaica mid September. Die-Screaming.com has hailed "Spartacus MMXII" as the most "epic adult feature ever" and the film has already received a "First Choice Award" from the Night Moves Adult Awards 2011. And "Spartacus MMXII" hasn’t even been released.
The excitement and anticipation behind the film is accompanied by an all star cast. Critics are not only praising the beautiful camera work and top notch direction, but with a cast of performers like Marcus London, Devon Lee, Tommy Gunn, Tanya Tate, Tony De Sergio, Gracie Glam, India Summer, Miko Lee, Andy San Dimas, Lucas Stone, TJ Cummings, Nacho Vidal and Jenna Presley, "Spartacus MMXII" is sure to excite the fans who are waiting for it’s release.
"The reaction we’ve been getting from our colleagues in the adult industry as well as multiple venues and directors in the mainstream media has been over whelming" says writer/director Marcus London. "This was shot independently, without the help of a large studio. I’m so proud that a small group of performers were able to create something so spectacular through dedication and perseverance. And the screening will be just as spectacular as the film. We’ll be watching the on a giant screen on the same set where we filmed. The ranch will be set up as an ode to the old Roman Empire with tiki torches for a rustic feel. We’re going to make the screening as unique and grand as the Spartacus movie itself. "

And he really thinks NOW is the best time to release his big movie? Really??!
I thought you were an adult industry marketer, Kelli?
Now is the perfect time because the moratorium has slowed the number of Industry releases.
No competition is the best competition.
Whatever the case, Miko Lee did a great job producing this. It looks like a solid B movie.
I just wish the script was more original. And where are the black girls at?
Why are you singling out Miko Lee for praise? It says that Marcus London and Tommy Gunn were also producers.
No comment
Tommy and Marcus are buff but are like 5 ft tall apiece. Maybe C3X can come in and play Golaith.
Kinda agree with origen…September has been historically the best month to release big movies as it comes right before the AVN and Xbiz awards submission cut off date. This movie has the potential to come off with some solid wins at both award shows. So, I believe that this is a perfect time to release the movie.
@monstarpr
Seriously, porn awards impact sales figures for real? If true I must say I find that bizarre, and not in a good way.
Message to porn analysts: I think the best month to sell this is whatever month the most people are inclined to buy a movie where a dude is staring at them (the largest photo of all them). I don’t get what this “What time of the year is best to sell” thing is all about, either. Do people wanting to whack off decide to go shopping around preparations for 2 out of 20 awards ceremonies? Welcome back, Miko.
@MrWoland – not solely, no. But as a good marketing tactic for the sales team to push for re-orders. How apt would someone be to buy “a” movie that came out vs. an multi-award winning movie? How much easily more marketable would that be to an average consumer? Very. Not only that, publicity-wise one could pitch the movie to mainstream sites as the big adult award winner to extend it’s shelf-life and create a greater awareness. I’m sure this is more answer than you wanted, but there are many facets to my response, seriously.
Conversely, why do you (or anyone else) think it’s a bad time? I would be interested in those responses.
Tony DeSergio and Nacho Vidal recreate the Curtis-Olivier scene from the original. Wow, monstar shows up on a thread involving Tanya Tate, though I will give him credit for chiming in on something he may know about re:twitter followers.
@Larry Horse Regardless of the fact that Tanya is involved, am I incorrect in what I wrote?
