New York, NY (January 11, 2012)—International gay porn powerhouse Lucas Entertainment took home the award for “Gay Movie of the Year” for its 2011 blockbuster “Assassin” at the tenth annual XBIZ Awards ceremony, the adult entertainment industry’s awards event of the year.
“I’m thrilled and thankful that XBIZ recognized all of the work and effort that went into the production of ‘Assassin,’” says president and CEO Michael Lucas. “The movie was a success for everyone involved, cast and models alike.”
“I want to give a huge thank you to XBIZ for recognizing the relentless and detailed work that was put into making ‘Assassin,’” says co-director and writer Marc MacNamara. “We filmed [the movie] in New York City in February with below-zero degree weather, and I certainly tortured the models with a lot of outdoor filming. But we all did the hard work knowing that we had something special to show.”
In “Assassin,” Michael Lucas is an emotionless and driven assassin whose solemn life has been dedicated to carrying out the death wishes of others. His jobs are flawless. His hands are always clean. But when a jazz club performer, Adam Killian, witnesses his latest job, the seams begin to unravel, as the hit man becomes the mark. Power, aggression, and lust erupt as the fuse is ignited and the suspense burns to an inevitable end. Watch as an all-star cast is caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous match of deception, murder, and sex!
We would also like to congratulate Michael’s “Assassin” co-star, Adam Killian, who won “Gay Performer of the Year.” Further acknowledgements are in order for Titan Media taking home the “Studio of the Year” award and Chris Ward, who won “Gay Director of the Year.”
