"Exxxit: Life After Porn"

From an article he did for a film mag:

"You’ve got the ball rolling on a few very interesting projects. Can you talk a little about Columbus Circle, Ninety and the documentary Exxxit: Life After Porn?

CM: Exxxit we finished about two months ago. It’s a documentary. It’ll be in NY and LA for one week theatrical run and we’ll be doing day and date VOD. It looks at about 18 former adult film stars and how they got in the business, how they got out of the business and mostly where are they know and how has their life been impacted by the career path that they chose. It’s very moving and very interesting. It’s not gratuitous at all. It will surprise you, again in that you go in thinking one thing and then after seeing this film you have a different opinion about these people and where they come from and where they’ve gone because, at the end of the day, they’re all just like you and me. They wake up and go to sleep, they have illnesses and families, heartbreak, tragedy and successes.

On the other end of the spectrum, a very commercial film that we’re in pre-production on is Ninety with Darren Lynn Bousman directing. It’s a typical horror film that is probably one of the more violent things you’ll ever see. It’s 90 kills in 90 minutes. Definitely a genre piece speaking to a specific audience, the difference with this is it not just a slasher movie. It isn’t just some maniac for some unknown or mystical reason has decided to kill this people. He has a method and a reason that he is doing this and without giving away too much of the plot, he’s a guy that could be stopped with one single action but nobody takes that action and he goes about the business of getting justice in his eyes, no matter how twisted that vision may be in these 90 minutes with these 90 kills.

Columbus Circle we wrapped production on that just recently, about four or five months ago. It’s a Hitchcock-style mystery crime drama and it’s Selma Blair and Amy Smart, Jason Lee, Beau Bridges, Giovanni Ribisi and it’s kind of a throwback and a nod to the way Hitchcock used to do movies. It’s based around Selma Blair’s character who lives in Columbus Circle in New York in a very nice apartment that she has not left in 17 years, she’s an agoraphobic. She kind of lives through her peep hole a la Rear Window and there’s a death across the hall of a neighbor that’s been there forever who she never interacted with. A new couple move in (Jason Lee and Amy Smart) and she becomes obsessed with them and through a series of events Amy Smart becomes involved in her life. It’s very well told, beautifully shot mostly interior stuff. It moves at a very good pace for a film that doesn’t have a lot of sweeping and hand-held stuff. It’s kind of the antithesis of Middle Men in terms of style of shooting.

Then I’ve got about 12 legitimate scripts that are in varying forms of development.We got a couple things we’re probably going to pull the trigger on. We’re trying to shoot two really good movies every year, maybe a third if we add in a doc or a TV deal. Generally we’re trying to do all original work. I’m sort of obsessed with true story and based on real people and real times in terms of bigger films."
