Godfather XXX
DREAMZONE MAKES
AN OFFER THAT LEE ROY
MYERS CAN’T REFUSE
Dreamzone Entertainment and director
Lee Roy Myers are making The Godfather,
A Dreamzone Parody, news of which broke
on Filmdrunk.com’s “Frotcast”—a weekly
podcast that covers pop culture news.
On the podcast, Myers discussed many
of his projects, including Dreamzone titles
like The Honeymoaners and Romeo & Juliet.
During the conversation, he dropped the
news about the Godfather parody.
“DreamZone made me an offer that I
couldn't refuse,” Myers said. “They offered
me a chance to make a porn parody of my
favorite film. And I am going to be metic-
ulous in making sure that it has captured
the look and feel of the classic, but also
lots and lots of vaginas.”
Peter O’Tool, star of DreamZone’s
Honeymoaners, essays the lead role of Vito
Whorleone (aka the Dong). Other casting
choices are equally fitting: Tommy Pistol as
Michael, Kagney Linn Karter as Kay, April
O’Neil as Slutzo, Michael Vegas as Sonny,
Anthony Rosano as Luca, and Jessie
Andrews as Jenny Fontaine.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am about
doing this movie,” Dreamzone’s Adam
Hasner said. “The script is fantastic, and
Lee Roy Myers is the perfect man to bring
it to life.”
Angela White
PURE PLAY BUSTS OUT
WITH AUSSIE STARLET’S
FIRST BOY-GIRL SCENES
The title of the release is Angela White
Finally Fucks—and it captures the anticipa-
tion felt by fans of big-boob star Angela
White, an Aussie gal who’s earned a spot
among Score’s top 10 models of the
decade. She’s been in the business since
2003—starting at age 18—but only doing
girl-girl and solo scenes.
On July 5, Pure Play will street the
Score title, in which White parts her lips
for her first blowjob, then parts her legs for
her first on-screen hardcore scene. In addi-
tion to the oral scene and two boy-girl
pairings, she’ll also do a threeway with
busty Maggie Green. And of course she’ll
also wrap her 32GG rack around some
rods.
Despite her busy modeling schedule—
she has been published in more than 100
magazines, including Voluptuous, Juggs,
Mamazon and Bachelor—White has had
time for more serious pursuits. In 2010,
she ran as a candidate for the Australian
Sex Party in the Victorian state election
and subsequently graduated from the
University of Melbourne with first-class
honors in gender studies.
Pure Play Welcomes Josh Stone Productions to Its Lineup
An established performer and director, Josh Stone is now a part of the Pure Play family. The first Josh Stone
Productions title to be released by the distribution company was Cheap Sex. The inaugural bow in a new series,
Cheap Sex follows Stone and his crew as they roam the roads of America, in search of corruptible trollops. Along
for the first randy joyride are Angelina Castro, Daniella Diamond, Nikki Stone, Jayla Foxx and Paola.
“We’re thrilled to have Josh Stone aboard,” stated Mr. Ritch, national sales manager for Pure Play Media. “His
outstanding work has undoubtedly led to the creation of his own studio. With his first film, Cheap Sex, it’s clear to
see that this title and future releases will gain outstanding success.”
Also in May, Pure Play debuted its first release from Stone’s young-girl series, So Fresh So Teen 3 , which
showcases Nikki Blue.
And Stone fans can celebrate the first day of summer with the release of Stone’s South Beach Cruisin’ 6 .
