Axel Braun Signs Carter Cruise to Exclusive Contract
Supergirl in his monster hit Batman v Superman
XXX that she truly embodied the role, as Axel
Evidently, Carter Cruise proved in her portrayal of
Braun has just signed the ever-ascending star to
an exclusive one-year contract with his Axel Braun
Productions.
This comes as the latest coup for Cruise, still riding
high as AVN’s reigning Best New Starlet and Best Actress.
Prior to donning Supergirl’s cape for Braun, she made a
memorable impression as one of the evil stepsisters in his
Wicked Fairy Tales smash Cinderella XXX.
“When we were filming Batman v Superman, Carter totally
impressed me with her acting skills, her sexual prowess,
and her freakishly high tolerance for my notoriously
long shoot days,” Braun said. “I started writing movies
specifically for her, because there is literally nobody
who could play those roles as perfectly as Carter. She is
refreshingly different, reliable, and just incredibly hot, and
I am absolutely beyond thrilled to have her exclusively
with ABP.”
Commented Cruise, “This contract with Axel couldn’t
be more perfect for me as the next step in my career.
Artistically we mesh incredibly well and we’re both
interested in creating cool shit that goes beyond the realm
of average porn. He understands my brand and wants to
enhance and utilize it, not change it, which is awesome. I
mean, this is the guy that told me, ‘Carter, in life, you have
to do whatever the fuck you want,’ so I think it’s safe to
say he gets it.
“It also doesn’t hurt that he’s a genius, a truly amazing
director, and really, really, ridiculously good-looking,” she
added. “He told me to say that last part.”
This deal comes on the heels of Braun re-upping his
contract with Riley Steele, making Cruise the third ABP
contract girl alongside Steele and Aiden Ashley. Cruise’s
contract went into effect November 1.
Said Steele of her new contract sister, “Yay! She’s like
the coolest chick ever, and she’s so scrumptious ... I can’t
wait to work with her.”
Ashley was more blunt on the matter, exclaiming, “Yeah,
I’m seriously counting the days until I can bury my face in
her ass.”

WHO’S WHO
Kayden Kross, Lexi Belle Talk Roles in ‘Samurai Cop 2’
see some familiar faces in the
independent mainstream film
Fans of adult entertainment will
Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance.
And two of those featured
actors—adult performers Kayden
Kross and Lexi Belle—talked to AVN
about the experience.
In the film, which is the sequel to
1991’s Samurai Cop, actors Matthew
Karedas and Mark Frazer reprise their
roles from the original, as two cops
forced to team up together again to solve
a series of assassinations.
“I play two characters in this movie,”
Kross told AVN. “I was in Blue Dream,
which [director] Greg [Hatanaka]
also directed, and he asked me and I
said, ‘Sure, I’m down for anything.’
The original movie has a kind of cult
following, and they tried unsuccessfully
to make a sequel before. I wish I could
tell you more about the script. I watched
the original once I got the role, and I was
completely entertained. There are a lot of
callbacks from the original, including a
yarn lion-head bust. They brought it back
in all its yarn-y glory. There are a lot of
Easter eggs like that.
“It’s one of those movies that doesn’t
take itself seriously.”
The film had a 28-day shoot schedule.
“What’s funny is for the most part,
the bigger the budget, the more
mainstream-y things get. Indie movies
tend to be less organized,” Kross said.
“It was my first mainstream set,” Lexi
Belle told AVN. “There were other porn
stars there [Tommy Pistol is also in the
cast list], so I felt more welcomed. A lot
of hurry-up-and-wait, a lot of changing
of the script, but when it came down
to ‘Action!’ it was fun being there, in
costume, in character. It was like a
typical day on set.”
“What’s the movie about? That’s a
good question,” Belle said. “The main
character is coming back for revenge and
there’s a crazy storyline that goes with
it. There are some parts where I really
had to overplay my character, and that
was difficult. I had to do an evil laugh
for, like, 10 minutes. It’s really hard to
do an evil laugh for 10 minutes without
it getting silly. I play a villain who gets to
kill people, and that’s what I wanted. ...
I’m really excited. Kayden and Bai Ling
are amazing.”
Samurai Cop 2 debuted in October.
It will be available on Amazon.com in
February. (Kross, left, pictured in Evil
