Austin Wilde Voted New Face of "Cocktails with the Stars"

Raging Stallion exclusive Austin Wilde has been named the new face of Cocktails with the Stars.

"Cocktails with the Stars" is a weekly gay adult industry get-together at Micky's Bar in West Hollywood, CA.

Austin Wilde: "Having only been in the industry a little over a year and living in the Midwest, this is definitely an honor."

The rising star of the gay adult industry topped popular porn stars Adam Campbell, Adam Killian, Angelo Marconi, Dean Flynn, Ethan Wolfe, Hugo Milano, Junior Stellano, Lucky Daniels, Malachi Marx, Marco Blaze, Mitchell Rock, Paul Wagner, Reese Rideout, Vance Winter and Vince Ferelli in a fan vote.

Scotty B. (Event Host): "I knew Austin was getting more popular in the industry, but I wasn't sure if he would win against other models who are more known than he is. Him winning shows the power of studios backing their models, networking through Twitter—and being hot doesn't hurt either."

Austin Wilde and David Taylor Named RSS 2010 Men of the Year

Raging Stallion Studios has named exclusives Austin Wilde and David Taylor as their 2010 joint Men of the Year.

Here is the full press announcement:

Raging Stallion Studio Head Chris Ward announced that blond heart throb David Taylor and dark and handsome power-fucker Austin Wilde will jointly serve as the 2010 Raging Stallion Men of the Year, a position previously held by such legendary superstars as Steve Cruz, Jake Deckard, Michael Brandon, Roman Ragazzi, Shane Rollins, Ricky Sinz, and Tom Vacarro. It is one of the top honors in the Gay Porn Industry.

The announcement was made at the annual Raging Stallion Folsom Street Fair party in San Francisco, an event co- sponsored by Naked Sword and AEBN. The annual get-together attracts everybody who is anybody in the Gay adult industry and is one of the high points of the Folsom Street Fair weekend. Well over 100 porn stars from all major studios attended the party.

Chris Ward said that 2009 was another banner year for Raging Stallion, which earlier this year merged with AEBN. He selected Taylor and Wilde to be the studio's representatives based on many factors, not the least of which was their sexual energy and good looks. "Both of these men are superstars--and both represent what Raging Stallion is all about: Hot masculine men who enjoy life to the fullest. David and Austin are top talents, and we at Raging Stallion are proud to have them in our stable of stars." Ward went on to note that this year he had a particularly difficult task in making his choice--hence a tie for the top spot. "We have so many talented performers working for us--every year it gets harder and harder to make this selection. I almost decided to drop the award because, quite frankly, eight or ten of our guys could have easily been named Man of the Year."

When asked about his honor, the usually calm Austin Wilde was very excited. "Wow, I am so honored and surprised to be named Raging Stallion Studios "Man of the Year" in my first break out year in this business. Raging has become my home in the short time I have been here, and Chris, Kent, and their team have made me feel like family. I am looking forward to exploring all the sides of me that I am sure they will bring out, and to all the exciting things in the year ahead. I am glad to be associated with the #1 Studio in the USA."

David Taylor was also thrilled to be given one of the top honors in Gay Porn: "Wow! What an honor it is to be Named Man of the Year along with Austin Wilde . It has been such an amazing experience to work with Raging Stallion and all the wonderful and talented people they have.

This Film Focus/ReFocus would have to be the highlight of the year for me. Cole Streets and Scott Tanner were incredible to work with. I am Honored to be in the stable with Raging Stallion."

Austin Wilde recently finished filming of the long awaited sequel to Arabesque, and David Taylor recently completed principal photography for his role as the co-star of Focus/ReFocus, the big RSS blockbuster film due out on Thanksgiving weekend.

Falcon Studios Wades in the Blu-ray Waters

Falcon Studios has started releasing some of their most popular titles on Blu-ray. The studio is testing the waters with their two-part hit Best Men.

Best Men, Part 1: The Bachelor Party and Best Men, Part 2: The Wedding Party were collectively nominated for a 2009 XBIZ Award as GLBT Film of the Year.

Troy Prickett (Falcon's Director of Promotions): "The downturn forced us to rethink our strategy for the timing of the release of any title on Blu-ray. We also recognized that even though HD downloads are available, there are bandwidth issues which impact video and audio quality. These factors combined with reduced rates for Blu-ray authoring and the ongoing competition for market share suggested the timing was now appropriate. As we continue to shoot in HD, the plan is to have more films available in the Blu-ray format. Bonus content with expanded menus and increased interactivity will be part of our Blu-ray offerings; as the technology evolves, so will the content, which makes it truly exciting. We actively solicit input from our customers and look to them to provide guidance as we move forward with Blu-ray."

Best Men, Part 1: The Bachelor Party stars Tony Capucci, Dylan Saunders, Erik Rhodes, Mason Alexander, Matthew Rush, Nash Lawler, Rod Daily, Roman Heart, Rusty Stevens, Shane Frost, Tristan Jaxx and Zeb Atlas.

Tony Capucci, Tristan Jaxx, Erik Rhodes and Zeb Atlas return in Best Men, Part 2: The Wedding Party. The film also stars Adam Killian, Aden Jaric, Andrew Blue, Austin Wilde, Jordan Jaric, Kirk Cummings, Lucky Daniels, Rod Daily, T.J. Hawke and Turk Mason.

Before joining Raging Stallion, Austin Wilde worked on the internet with CockyBoys.com, Next Door Studios and OnTheHunt.com. The 26-year-old biracial (African American and Caucasian) performer's first big porn production was Falcon Studios' Best Men Part 2 - The Wedding Party. In last year's blockbuster, Wilde popped his feature cherry in an intense group scene.

Here's the press announcement ...

San Francisco-based Raging Stallion Studios today announced the casting for Focus/Refocus, its huge fall blockbuster film. With a budget of $177,000, Focus/Refocus is the single largest gay porn production of the year. Newcomer Cole Streets has been selected to play the lead role in this four-disc film noir epic to be shot in and around San Francisco. David Taylor, Steve Cruz, and Bruno Bond have been cast as the principal supporting actors. Superstars Ricky Sinz, Scott Tanner, Ryan Raz, Austin Wilde, Wilfried Knight, Adam Killian, Jason Crew, Francesco D'Macho, Damien Crosse, Tristan Jaxx, Conner Habib, and Alejandro Fernandez are also cast in the film, making this one of the most impressive casts of all time. Several new names will also be introduced.

Cole Streets was thrilled to be given the lead role in the film. "I can hardly believe it! Chris, Ben, and Tony have put a great deal of trust in me to carry the lead role in this movie. It's going to be a challenge, but I am excited and can't wait to get started. Now I just have to memorize fifty pages of dialogue!"

Focus/Refocus is an expansive crime drama that builds on Raging Stallion's big movie tradition. The studio won Best Picture awards for last year's To The Last Man and for the 2008 film, GRUNTS. Focus/Refocus will also be directed by the award-winning team of Ben Leon, Tony Dimarco, and Chris Ward.

"I am very, very excited by this cast," commented Raging Stallion head Chris Ward. "These guys not only look great, but the combined acting talent here is amazing. This will be a major movie of top quality. Cole Streets is going to do a great job—he is going to become an instant superstar with this role. And the other guys!! Who would ever believe one single movie would have the likes of Damien Crosse, Francesco D'Macho, Ricky Sinz, Scott Tanner, Steve Cruz, David Taylor, Wilfried Knight and all the other guys! It's a director's dream. The stars are lined up for us to produce another classic, best selling film."

Tony Dimarco had this to say: "I feel this movie is probably one of the biggest undertakings so far in my career in terms of the scope and the complexity of the story. It's much more developed than anything I've worked on in the past. I love the challenge of doing things I've never done before and I'm excited to be working on this project.

We were also very lucky to come up with such an amazing A-level cast. Things just seemed to fall into place and before we knew it, we were looking at many big names. We didn't plan it that way but now it makes total sense."

Co-director Ben Leon observed, "As a filmmaker, my goal is to face new challenges and push myself and those around me to produce bigger and better, but also more refined, films. As a follow up to To The Last Man, the Raging Stallion team is ready to hit new heights that the critics and the audience expect. Focus/Refocus is a script that is demanding on multiple levels. The acting is essential, the lighting is essential and of course the hot sex is essential. As a team, Chris, Tony and I are continually pushing each other to raise the bar. This project will be a culmination of all our talents and skills."

The sixty-page Focus/Refocus script was written by Dan Rhodes. There are some significantly controversial elements in this film that will raise eyebrows. To The Last Man generated controversy because of the high level of violence in the film. Focus/Refocus is also shocking in many ways, but most of the deaths that occur in this crime drama take place off screen. Even so, the grand finale of this movie will be one of the most controversial scenes yet released by a major studio. Actors and crew have been sworn to secrecy on all aspects of this final scene.

Focus/Refocus will be released Thanksgiving weekend, 2009.

Raging Stallion Beams Up The Visitor

Raging Stallion Studios' all-male sci-fi sexpic The Visitor is showing strong initial sales ...

Directed by Tony DiMarco ... The Visitor stars Logan McCree as Epoc, a scientific researcher from far away who comes to study the sexual habits of the male species ...

Chris Ward: "We are very pleased with initial sales figures for The Visitor. These numbers make me wonder if the recession is really coming to an end. There is not that much new product out on the market. So a new top-end film is going to get a large share of attention. Logan is a huge draw. He is the top porn star in the industry today."

The Visitor also stars Bruno Bond, David Taylor, Angelo Marconi, Junior Stelland, Austin Wilde, Cole Streets, Damian Rios, Lucky Daniels and Dominic Pacifico ...

Tony DiMarco: "I've worked with Logan for over a year now and we have a great creative relationship, which started with The Drifter. I think we have very similar tastes and are passionate about what we are trying to achieve in the films we make. We've had many conversations about the kinds of films we like, musical tastes, views on life. The Visitor developed out of those discussions. I am very happy with the way it turned out and it will be interesting to see how it is received. It's a high-concept film with little dialogue. Which is very different from the big films I've made in the past. It's a film that relies heavily on the visual. I like to think of myself as a visual director and Logan, I think, is a very visual performer. So I think it was a perfect combination."

The two-disc includes behind-the-scenes featurettes, an interview with McCree, solo masturbation vignettes starring Pacifico and Stelland and other bonus footage ...

The Visitor is currently available on Raging Stallion's webstore ... It is officially released on August 7, 2009 ...
