Upload: Movie of Year Contender Set to Catch Fire

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, September 7th 2007

UPLOAD: Movie of Year Contender Set to Catch Fire

(Hollywood, CA) When SexZ Pictures surprised the porn world last January by winning the top adult industry award for Best Video for the political thriller Corruption, their maverick CEO Bo Kenney commented “I think they just gave cavemen gasoline.”

With a full tank of gas, SexZ Pictures has created Upload, a brand new epic big-budget science fiction blockbuster directed by Eli Cross due in stores September 25th.

Upload tells the exciting story of federal agents vigorously tracking a beautiful cyberpunk that they believe carries a computer virus that could change the world as we know it.

“I knew that Eli Cross was up to the task of delivering another unbelievable feature movie and from what I’ve seen so far, we’re right on the money with Upload because it definitely has major hit written all over it,” Kenney said from company headquarters in Manassas, Virginia.

With a stellar cast that includes lead performers Eva Angelina and SexZ Pictures contract star and reigning Female Performer of the Year Hillary Scott, Upload crosses boundaries very few feature movie directors would dare to take.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” said Cross, “and I don’t just mean the sex. I mean this movie was tough. The entire cast & crew practically killed themselves to make this movie shine. In fact our production motto was ‘nobody gets off this show alive’.”

While many adult movie companies are scaling back on their bigger budget movie productions, SexZ Pictures is headed in the opposite direction with a reported $350,000 being spent to create Upload.

“We wanted to do something that was a complete 180 from Corruption,” explains Cross. “With Upload being more action-driven than a character piece, it seemed like exactly the right project. I’m just honored that Bo had enough faith in my team and in me to foot the bill.”

“Upload is a magnificent action adventure porn movie and one that sits directly in the middle of a big collision between Hollywood and hardcore pornography,” Kenney said.

“Eli is a great story teller and that’s what’s usually missing in big adult movies so with Upload, we have it all including a great story, exciting action and amazing sex,” Kenney continued.

Although Eli Cross is a masterful movie maker, Kenney’s comments makes one think what would have happened if cavemen were given gasoline. Find out the answer as porn has a new player in town that isn’t afraid to spend some big bucks to deliver a wonderful adventure to their fans.

Destined for a slew of award nominations, Upload from SexZ Pictures will be in stores everywhere September 25th. Don’t miss it!
