Porn star Johnny Castle and veteran talent manager David Forest have announced that they are joining forces to oversee the gay porn careers of two hot new stars, Tony Capucci and Wes Brody.

According to Forest, “The gay adult industry has been screaming at me to develop new stars to replace the now retired Forest Men: Ryan Idol, Ken Ryker, Billy Brandt, Shane Rollins and others I have handled. Johnny Castle came to me and said that he was beginning to meet some fabulous new guys that would enter the gay XXX world if he would help guide them in the right direction. The writing was on the wall. I’m partnering up with the hottest new male erotic star in the adult world. He’s already brought us two incredible boys.”

Capucci, 22, (top photo) is already creating a buzz with his solo and duo scenes at RandyBlue.com. He has also done scenes for JakeCruise and CockyBoys.com, which will be available online soon, and is shooting for Freshmen magazine next week.

Brody, 21, (middle photo) hails from Wichita, Kansas, and just filmed a solo and duo for JakeCruise, which have not been released yet.

Castle, who was recently named Men magazine’s 2007 Man of the Year, says, “My career has really taken off. Now I want to bring a few special new stars into the gay adult business and make sure they are given the same excellent personal direction that I’ve enjoyed. David is the only man I’d do this with. He manages talent the way it should be done. He’s from the old school and knows the true Hollywood way of developing careers.”

Movie Review: Dante

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Directors: Jett Blakk and Ty Hudson.
Cast: Logan Robbins, Trent Atkins, Eddie Stone, Chad Hunt, Damon Phoenix, Zackary Pierce, Trevor Knight, Ty Hudson.

It’s obvious that a lot of people put a lot of hard work into Dante, which only makes you wish that it worked better. Among the hardest workers are director Jett Blakk and writer/co-director Ty Hudson (who also plays three roles). These guys took on an ambitious adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, which Hudson explains the origins of in a long-winded DVD extra intro. (The co-directors also do an extensive audio commentary that fills in every detail of the production.) There are sketches of the characters and schematics of the sets—all very impressive and indicative of the care that went into many aspects of this Red Devil production. But, as they say, if it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage. And even the most attractive models and hottest sex can’t make up for a muddled script and a silly, unsatisfying ending that resorts to a lame “to be continued” line.

This epic tale of the battle between good and evil begins with some dramatic music and a mysterious monastery, where a bearded Hudson works his dark angels (Trevor Knight and Zachary Pierce) into a sweaty frenzy. This unlikely threeway sets the stage with its elaborate set and moody lighting. In the second scene, we meet main character Dante (Logan Robbins), who is given a letter with an odd symbol by his weird professor (Hudson again, in glasses). We learn that Dante’s boyfriend, Joss (Trent Atkins), is a former escort—or is he? Jealousy between the lovers causes a breakup, and Dante’s study partner Ben (Damon Phoenix) is only too happy to comfort him. Or is he? The plot gets more convoluted as Chad Hunt (with a strange dye job) and Eddie Stone show up to accost Atkins, and Hudson (now clean-shaven) returns to bed Phoenix. In the end, there’s a dramatic shooting, some light bondage and even a bit of stigmata! There’s also some solid work by Hunt (whose monster cock does him proud as always), Stone and Atkins. Their scene at the monastery is a highlight, with great oral and top honors going to Hunt and Stone. And Phoenix is as cute as a button, delivering a cum-flying orgasm that elicits an adorable giggle from the newbie model. On the other hand, fresh face Robbins is nowhere near ready for a leading role. His wooden delivery and stiff, awkward performance is a weak leak in Dante’s chain. And Hudson’s hammy over-the-top work, in all his roles, doesn’t help either. There is some grainy night photography and poor sound quality in spots, but we’d rather see a movie set high goals and not reach them, then not try at all. And on that level, Dante works just fine.

News: Raging Stallion Responds to Sinclair

Raging Stallion Studios, which is on the verge of its biggest release ever, the military epic Grunts, has been accused of mistreatment by model Brodie Sinclair. The former exclusive was fired, according to RSS president Chris Ward. But in a press release, Sinclair claims that he quit and endured poor working conditions on the Grunts set.

Today, Kent Taylor, head of publicity for the San Franciso–based studio, released the following statement: "We at Raging Stallion are deeply saddened by untrue statements made by Brodie Sinclair about the Grunts shoot. His statements are completely false. There were more than 20 actors and over a dozen other crew members and journalists on the Grunts shoot. We encourage all journalists to contact anyone who was on this shoot as part of responsible investigation when covering this story. Each and every one of them will confirm that Mr. Sinclair’s comments are completely untrue.”

Then, Chris Ward sent out his own e-mail stating: “There has been some controversy about the circumstances that led to Brodie’s departure and some hurt feelings all around. I want to make sure that all of Brodie’s fans know that his work for us was good—I very much enjoyed filming him for Grunts. Near the end of the Grunts shoot, when everyone was exhausted and tempers were as hot as the 100-plus degree weather, Brodie and I had a disagreement. We both decided that he would be let out of his contract. We wish Brodie well for the future and I personally look forward to seeing his work for other studios!”

Okay, everyone happy now!?
