"Don't Bother Screaming, No One Will Come" Released

The sixth installment of Seth Gamble's "Reckless" from Wicked Pictures, "Don't Bother Screaming, No One Will Come," stars Ryan Reid and Mick Blue. The episode was released on Wicked.com on August 5, 2023. Seth Gamble, the twice-crowned and reigning XBIZ Male Performer of the Year, as well as the reigning AVN Male Performer of the Year and four-time AVN Best Actor, wrote and directed the eight-episode series. Gamble also portrays the lead character, Silas Knight, a racing enthusiast and tech genius, in what is described as his first lead role for one of his own narrative projects.

The episode introduces Lucius Volkov, played by Mick Blue, who was the 2022 XBIZ Male Performer of the Year. Volkov is described as an enigmatic racing car driver-turned-guru. Ryan Reid portrays Scarlet Page, a secretive CPA. According to a provided synopsis, Scarlet Page is "far from the typical accountant, embodying the essence of the old adage 'she who holds the money holds the secrets.'" The synopsis further states that Scarlet "skillfully manipulates her clients into believing she has their best interests at heart," but her "true intentions are shrouded in mystery, aligning her with the anti-heroes and femme fatales that populate Silas' shadowy world."

Gamble commented on Mick Blue's portrayal of Lucius Volkov, noting that Volkov is a crossover character from Gamble's 2023 AVN Grand Reel-nominated psychodrama, "Deranged." Gamble stated that the scene "unveils more of his character's backstory," and that Volkov "is a fan of taking shortcuts in life to achieve his ends." Gamble added that Volkov "takes a personal interest in Silas' tech to gain the edge needed to become the fastest driver on the circuit." Gamble also highlighted Blue's "successful parallel career as a race car driver," which he said "brings authenticity and passion to the role, making him the perfect fit for this character." Gamble concluded that Blue "gives Volkov a realistic, lived-in appeal."

Regarding Ryan Reid's performance, Gamble remarked on her "charisma that is seductive and enchanting, yet also somewhat mysterious." He added that "she feels very natural, and a scene like this required someone with the flair of an exhibitionist while still coming across as a woman who keeps her secrets close to the vest." Reid commented on her initial apprehension about being part of "Reckless," stating, "'Reckless' was something I was so scared to be a part of at first." She expressed concern about "such a big movie," not wanting to "let anyone down." Reid credited Seth and Production Manager Ryan Ray's "helpful coaching" for helping her overcome her negative thoughts, stating, "I really gave it my all and enjoyed every second of it."

Braun described the project as "a labor of love for everybody involved," and called producing the movie "a privilege" and acting alongside Seth "a thrill."
