From Euphoria and Space Nuts to 2040, 2011 XBIZ Feature Studio Of The Year Wicked Pictures has released some of the past decade’s most critically acclaimed XXX science fiction epics.
And given this formidable track record, it should come as no surprise that the company has enlisted the services of AVN award-winning filmmaker and genre specialist Sam Hain to helm Horizon, an imaginative foray into the realm of big budget, original sci-fi starring Wicked Girls Stormy Daniels, jessica drake, Kaylani Lei, Alektra Blue and a host of other A-list performers.
A high-tech step into the year 2085, Horizon unfolds as a civilization of extraterrestrial origin has invaded Earth. Of the planet’s nine billion inhabitants, approximately one third have been killed and nearly two billion more have been evacuated to a military base dug into the core of Mercury. Of the four billion humans who remain on Earth, none are expected to survive the next 48 hours.
Taking a last stand against the alien invasion, one Marine battalion remains on the surface. But they are in retreat, desperately attempting to reach the safety of the space cruiser Horizon, when events occur which place the future of the Earth and all its remaining inhabitants in peril…
In addition to the Wicked Girls, the universe depicted in Horizon will feature some of adult’s brightest stars, including AVN Best Actress winner Kimberly Kane, Misty Stone, Rocco Reed, Bill Bailey, Natasha Nice, Tony Desergio, Danny Mountain and more.
For his part, director Hain couldn’t be more thrilled with the cast he’s assembled, and he looks forward to the challenge of photographing them with some truly cutting-edge technology. “We’ll be shooting the entire movie with the new Red Epic camera, the same camera being used on Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. But because of the lengthy post-production schedules of those two films, we expect to be the first movie of this kind, in either mainstream or adult, to be released.”
To create the movie’s many spectacular special effects sequences, Hain and his crew will be augmenting the use of computer-generated effects with large scale modeling work, a technique that’s recently come back into vogue thanks to the efforts of sci-fi auteur Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code).
In short, Hain plans on creating something unique to both the adult and science fiction genres. “I believe that, as a team, we can create the first true crossover film. We plan to deliver something so dynamic and realistic that, should you remove the hardcore scenes, it would still hold its own against anything the mainstream has to offer.”
