“I just think the industry has really evolved to a beautiful place.”
“It’s so much different,” Alexander contends. “I haven’t been on set in a long time, so just even doing the anniversary thing for Brazzers, we had talent advocates... We never had that before. Which is amazing. We had the checklist that we go over beforehand, the do’s and don’ts. I just think the industry has really evolved to a beautiful place. It was great back in the Vivid days, you know, I was under contract so it was good, but I just love the fact that as performers, we have more rights now. Before I feel like the studios kind of controlled what they did and how they treated us, and now it’s kind of like, well you guys need us to survive, so they kind of recognize that now and treat us better, which is nice.”
In Project X, Alexander plays Captain Bullock, who’s in charge of the military facility.
“I was a little nervous,” she confesses, “because I have a lot of dialogue, and I was like, ‘Ah, I haven’t done this in a long time!’ But luckily, it was like riding a bike.”
Much like Star, Alexander registers high expectations for the finished product. “I’m really excited for it,” she effuses. “It’s definitely a different thing. But I know with Ricky, it’s gonna be great, because I saw the preview of Dirty Cops [another Greenwood-directed feature released by DP in June] and it looked amazing. So I’m excited to see this.”
As it turns out, Alexander isn’t the only major player here working with Greenwood for the first time. No ... we’re informed at one point, somewhat surprisingly, that the same is true of Cherie DeVille.
Catching her in the makeup chair as well, DeVille corroborates this to us, remarking, “I was thinking about that this morning, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve worked with him 100 times.’ And then I’m like, ‘No, I just know him really well!’ I just know him personally, and we actually haven’t been together in a professional capacity yet. So strange.”
So now that she has officially found herself with him in a professional capacity, what does she think of having him as her director?
“It’s been awesome!” she exclaims. “There’s so many things I like about him. I like that he keeps a really well-organized set. I love how he sends us the call sheet every morning and sticks to it. No nonsense. ... But he’s a really good balance of letting people be playful but cutting it off when there’s stuff to be done. It’s a really nice balance of playful energy and let’s get this day done, we don’t want to be here at four in the morning.”
That energy permeates the set of Project X, along with a general air of legitimate excitement. And with a cast like this—which also includes Ryan Reid, Alex Jones and reigning AVN Best Male Newcomer Hollywood Cash in top roles—well... we expect the excitement is just beginning.
Project X is scheduled to roll out on DigitalPlayground.com with weekly updates starting on Monday, September 2.
