Wicked Pictures has released the debut installment of "Iris," an erotic thriller directed by Seth Gamble. The feature stars Blake Blossom in the title role and explores themes of psychological unraveling and revenge.

"Iris" Debuts on Wicked

Wicked Pictures premiered the first installment of "Iris" on June 7, 2024, according to Rick Thomas of XBIZ. The film, directed by Seth Gamble, who is the reigning XBIZ Performer of the Year, is described as an erotic thriller. Peter Warren of AVN reported on June 8, 2024, that the first scene, "Unforgettable," premiered on Wicked.com. Emmanuel Ferrum of Erojobs.biz also noted the rollout of the new Seth Gamble feature on October 6, 2024.

The cast of "Iris" includes Blake Blossom in the title role, alongside Emma Hix, Jennifer White, Charles Dera, Dan Damage, and Alex Mack. Blake Blossom was also identified as the 2022 AVN Best New Starlet by AVN.

A representative for Wicked Pictures stated that "Iris" centers on the psychological unraveling of a young woman. The debut episode introduces viewers to a rideshare driver, portrayed by Blossom, who feels unseen by society. She finds herself involved in a series of brutal murders where her passengers are seduced and then killed. These victims appear to be targets of a vengeful force, specifically those who previously wronged her and remained silent.

Gamble's Vision for "Iris"

Seth Gamble elaborated on the plotline, posing the question, "what would you do if you felt so unseen in your daily life that you feel literally invisible?" He further questioned whether Iris is motivated by a desire for revenge against a man who attempted to take advantage of her and the indifferent bystanders, or if another entity is responsible for the killings. Gamble also explored whether Iris's feeling of invisibility in society drives her actions, compelling her to cross boundaries and commit acts others would not consider. He summarized the central question as "just what are the lengths to which a person can go when they feel unseen?"

Gamble also discussed the performances of the cast. He described Blake Blossom as an "undeniable powerhouse," noting her dedication and stating that she "fully inhabits the character of Iris." He added that despite her awards, Blossom "never rests on her laurels, always striving for improvement," resulting in what he considers a "career-best performance."

Regarding Jennifer White and Charles Dera, Gamble characterized them as "the embodiment of the word 'professional.'" He expressed being impressed by Dera's "subtlety and depth," which he felt provided a strong contrast to White's "more volatile character." Gamble concluded that their "intensity and authenticity made the sex incredibly powerful."

Blake Blossom commented on the project, stating that the story's strong emotions and attention to detail suggested it came from an industry veteran. She described being directed by Seth Gamble for the movie as "a blast." Blossom mentioned working alongside Gamble for three years and feeling that she has become a better actor each time. She emphasized the importance of good communication with a director when playing an intense role to "pull every ounce of juice out of the character," and noted that asking questions, regardless of how small, helped her "dial in Iris."
