Day 10; The Fountain Scene
We finally shot the iconic scene of Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita, inspired by the Fellini film.
Last night the beautiful Savanna Samson joined me in the City Hall Fountain for one of the most spectacular moments in the film. While Savanna will not have a sex scene, we certainly enjoyed this kiss. In the script, written by the amazing Tony DiMarco, Savanna bonds with my character, Max Todd. Well, I am gay and so is Max. But Savanna is so hot I couldn't resist! It's that simple, really. If you've seen my movies (and screw you if you haven't!) you know what a sexual guy I am ... so don't be so surprised ;)
You can be certain that this film contains nothing but 100% gay sex. And at the same time, I'm confident that you can appreciate the glamour of what felt like a real old fashioned Hollywood moment.
Stay tuned for more pics as shooting continues ... tonight we sent 4 cameramen in a helicopter, I can't wait to see the footage!

Day 9; Stars Collide!
Today we shot a nightclub sex scene at Splash between Ray Star and Brad Star, two cute, blonde, tattooed hot guys who I am sure you will love.
I figured many of you would be happy that we brought back Auditions 6 coverboy Brad Star to bottom for us once again. Enjoy these pictures from today's shoot:

Day 8- The Press Conference and shopping at Marc Jacobs
Hey guys,
I'm sorry for the delay in blogging! There's so much going on here including behind the scenes drama and a lot of high stakes situations - but I guess that's what you can expect when shooting an ambitious project like this. What matters most is that when I look at the pictures and footage from each day, it's all incredibly gorgeous, and that's really the point.
I promise to fill you in with more details, but for now, I'd like to post a couple of great pics from yesterday.
Finally, I'd like to spread the word- we need more extras for a nightclub scene that shoots tomorrow at Splash nightclub. 50 W 17th from 12-3pm. Please email press@lucasentertainment.com if you can make it. Dress up like you are going out at night!

Day 6; THE FASHION SHOW
We ended this week with a spectacular fashion show where Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita character "Jack Bond" showcased his collection. Kevin Aviance started off the show with a fantastic, ultra-fabulous performance and the audience loved her! One of the highlights is when Kevin lost his red stiletto pump on the runway, he managed to have fun with the whole thing, never breaking out of his glam persona.
After that, my well styled boys killed the runway while Aviance's "Strut" played in the background. You can hear the song and see some clips from the fashion show at AGuyNamedWayne's myspace page:

Some others that came to the show took great pics too.

One Week Down ...
Sorry for taking so long to update the blog- but it's been THAT crazy around here!!!
Now it's Sunday, I finally got a chance to rest a bit before we pickup a few more lines on the Limo scene that we didn't get to finish. But unfortunately we've got another early, very exciting day ahead of us, this time we start at 5:30 in the morning. Let's see what's passed since I last wrote ....
On Friday we took some more amazing pictures with Joe Oppedisano and rehearsed for the Fashion show on Saturday morning.
And before all of that, we shot a threesome with Derrick Hanson, Jason Ridge and myself. I talked a bit about that in my last blog. Here's some hot pictures from a VERY enjoyable scene ...
And of course there was the fashion show. I'll be posting about that in the next few minutes- stay tuned for more.

Day 4; From Times Square to the Limousine
So on little to no sleep, I woke at daybreak to shoot some stunning exterior shots around the city. The last time I saw dawn in Manhattan was a long time ago as I am not a club kid anymore! First we got some gorgeous footage in Times Square, as well as some shots in the Lower East Side, West 13th, and over near 8th Ave and 12th St. The call time was 4 am! But in the end it was well worth it.
Later around noon, we shot a sex scene between Jason Ridge, Derrick Hanson and myself at a small brownstone apartment. It was, as you can expect, fucking amazing- but I'll have to fill you in on those details because I am just too damn tired right now! But the guys had a good time. I asked Derrick what he thought and he told me, "I was with 2 totally hot guys and that made the scene go quick and easy!" and Jason seemed pretty happy too, saying
"It was so spontaneous and not scripted, whatever happens happens, we went with the flow, so it was very real with a lot of tumbles and thumps along the way!"
Ok, we're off to film another scene in a tacky long strech limo to do a dialogue. God knows how many runs around the city we will make until we get our lines right! I hope you enjoy these pics from Times Square this morning. I'll tell and show more tomorrow ...
And here's one more pic from yesterday's scene between Pete and Jonathan.

Day 3; Pete Ross and Jonathan Vargas, Drunken Scenes, and a Hot Photoshoot!
Today we started filming a little later since last night's party wound down around 1pm. We met at a midtown location and started shooting the scene between Pete Ross and our new Lucas exclusive, Jonathan Vargas. It was yet another great scene. Pete started moaning so loudly that the building super complained! But we were happy about it because it's always so hot when the guys are this into the sex. Pete also commented to us about how much he enjoyed the scene ... well I think we figured that part out for ourselves!
After that we shot some more outdoor scenes in the streets- this time in front of the Dugout on Christopher St and later we shoot at Urge in the East Village. These scenes weren't so easy for me because I had to pretend to be drunk- and I never drink! I definitely hope I was believable.
We were really lucky with the weather too. We even caught a gorgeous sunset over the Hudson near the Christopher Street bar.
On another location in SoHo we had an elaborate photoshoot with the talented Joe Oppedisano. A bunch of our gorgeous guys, including Jamie, Spencer, Ben, Cole, and Erik Grant were shot in a number of extremely hot pics. I am really looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
Ok, I've got to get up ridiculously early to film some scenes at daybreak ... goodnight, and check out some pics from yesterday!

2nd day on Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita: Spencer and Jamie, plus tonight's party scene!
Today we filmed a scene between Spencer Quest and Jamie Donovan, ironically- "in the closet". It was shot in my closet, which is really very gay, not only because it contains a rainbow of colorful suits and shirts, but also because those guys really went at it! Spencer and Jamie gave us an amazing performance.
We filmed it on 2 cameras. One cameraman got on top of the closet with the boom operator and Tony DiMarco filmed at the entrance. Preparation for the scene took about 4 hours, but it was shot in only 40 minutes! Sorry, but I really don't believe in torturing my guys with multiple takes, and telling them to "stop" and "start" and all of that. It is so fake! I remember those days working in California back in '97 with 13 hour shoots- not hot and not sexy.
Ok guys, a party scene starts shooting in just an hour and everyone is running around, incredibly busy!
And by the way, last night's scene with Spencer was fucking amazing and there are definitely a few great surprises.
Here are a few more pics from yesterday:

First day of Shooting; The Arrest Scene ...
Cameras started rolling on Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita today, with the first call time of 7 am at my loft. The cast and crew of 30 people, with many cameras and about 10 paparazzis, gathered. After a quick breakfast, we started running though the lines and getting ready with our wardrobe, makeup and hair. Then we hopped in the vans to our first location.
We shot at London Terrace in Chelsea. Actually, I believe we are the first adult company to get permits to film in the streets of New York ... well we loved that, but nobody in the street seemed to realize that we were an adult company.
We filmed Spencer Quest's "arrest scene". He was taken from the building in handcuffs to an undercover cop car. Reporters, paparazzi and cameras ran towards Spencer, questioning him in the street. We had some police characters and a lawyer equipped with many "no comments" on behalf of his client :)
Ladies and onlookers watched the scene, giving their "professional opinions" on what they believed was an episode of Law and Order ... which makes sense because it actually looked like it! Some of them wanted Spencer and my autograph thinking that we were fancy actors! Well I guess we are after all, though I doubt they've seen our work :)
After about 2 hours and 7 takes, we headed to another location in Chelsea to film a dialogue scene between Spencer and myself. And finally, late in the evening we will film a sex scene between Spencer and myself. I can't wait to take off our well-styled suits after behaving all day long ...
PS- Spencer is not only a beautiful, sexy guy, he's also an amazing actor! No wonder they invited him to perform on Broadway. He's one of those rare guys who understand how difficult it is for me to direct, produce and act in the film, so he's been very supportive as a scene partner and I appreciate that a great deal.

Join the Uncut Cock Sex Club now!
Lucas Entertainment—a studio famous for its superstar uncut cocks—finally has a club to call its very own: UNCUT COCK SEX CLUB! Twelve horny, HUNGarian studs fuck each other crazy in an explosion of huge dicks, bubble butts, juicy holes, flip-flopping sex, and foreskin galore. “When it comes to hot men,” says producer Michael Lucas, “Hungary is definitely underrated… and uncut! The only deep thing about this movie is the hairy holes!” Indeed, UNCUT COCK SEX CLUB gets to the point… and that point is uncut!
Scene One: Tim Black is sitting at a bar, staring down faux-mohawked Lucio Maverick and lean stud Rogerio Mateo, when the duo decides to walk over and stuff their dicks in his face. Lucio fucks Tim while Tim inhales Rogerio’s uncut peter, and then Tim takes a turn riding Rogerio reverse cowboy style. The three jack to orgasm.
Scene Two: Hard-bodied Austin Rogers approaches chiseled Mario McGabe in a deserted room and immediately throws lips to Mario’s rock-hard dick, with Austin returning the favor not long after. The two flip-flop fuck each other silly, leather boots still on. Mario cums all over his own chest, but the fucking doesn’t stop there…. Austin chows down on Mario’s ass and then fucks it more before his own long-shot ejaculation.
Scene Three: Big daddy Akos Piros shares a drink with tattooed stud Paulo Mickey at the bar… before sharing his dick with Paulo’s tight, furry ass!
Scene Four: Fuzzy Steve Hunt and Buck Monroe get to the club and immediately start sucking cock. Across from them, Nico Blade sucks on Andrew Zulawsky’s meaty dick. Then the fucking fun begins, with Andrew taking Nico from behind, followed by Buck fucking Steve. The four-some simultaneously explode with cum.
Scene Five: Tattooed stud Julian Vincenzo approaches Tim Black at the bar and gives him a good feeling up before whipping out his uncut dick to suck. Julian then gives Tim a long, rapid fuck while Tim groans for more.
Scene Six: Lucio Maverick and Steve Hunt are back, watching each other jerk off before Steve finally decides to come over and give Lucio’s uncut rock-hard a taste. Lucio fucks Steve’s mouth before cumming all over his heaving chest. An explosive ending and yes, foreskin still intact!

First Israel and LA, now New York Fashion week!
Hey guys,
Sorry I didn't blog for a little while now. I've been busy with Israel, LA, and now fashion shows at fashion week on top of final preparations for Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita.
Yesterday I went to several shows, including Betsey Johnson's which is always really fun.
Then I went to Marc Jacob's show where I had a chance to enjoy both men's and women's designs for a change. It was for his ready to wear line: Marc by Marc Jacobs. The clothes were great, very casual, young, comfortable yet modern. It reminded me of the early 1900s meets casual grunge. Just classic American style.
I spoke to Marc after the show. He's very fit and he told me that he works out every day and is eating healthy. Well it's working because he looks better than ever! He also chatted with me about how he is enjoying the single life and is on his way to Paris to work on something for Louis Vuitton. I just adore him for so many reasons. Aside from the fact that he is extremely down to earth without a pretentious bone in his body, I admire him for doing more for the Democratic party than any other designer ever did. And he's really his own person, doing what he wants without regard for social criticism, letting his talent speak for him. For obvious reasons he is incredibly loved by the gay community and especially New Yorkers. Ok. I'll stop gushing now, but I like to give my props where and when they are due.
Love,
Michael

Back from Israel ...
I just got back to New York today, but it was so hard to leave. I have a real love affair with Israel and felt the country's love in return. The people are so beautiful, strong, and kind, and there was such a warm reception! This was definitely the best trip I have ever taken.
The people of Israel gave me the best treatment I'd ever had in my life. Everywhere I went, people took care of me and did everything they could to make sure that I had a great time.
There was a lot of curiosity and interest surrounding my appearance. I gave several interviews a day. Reuters also came to my show to photograph the whole thing.
The end of this story is that my trip was very successful. The whole week I felt the unconditional appreciation, respect, and support of Israel. It was an incredibly moving experience for me.
I decided that I want to buy a house in Tel Aviv somewhere near the Jaffa port as Jaffa is one of my favorite places.
Here is the first batch of pictures, and in the next few days I will upload more. Also look out for video clips that we took coming soon ...

Update from Israel: Sept 1, 2006
Filming on the border.
We went to the North of Israel on the border of Lebanon yesterday with a cameraman. There is just a fence between the two countries that goes on for miles and miles with a lot of open gates. We just walked into the Lebanese territory. We could clearly see a Lebanese village nearby. We walked into the hills and a man came out of the bushes, asking us what we were doing. We told him we were filming for an American television channel and he let us in. We travelled about and reported on what we saw.
Then we went to an army base in Israel. Usually you need a permit to talk to the soldiers, so when we asked to talk to the guys, they said they had to ask their supervisor. They discovered he wasn't there, so they said "Why not", and talked with us for a little while. We asked them a lot of questions, such as "What do you think about gays in the military" and questions about their lives. They were all so open minded to the questions. They basically responded saying they aren't sure who is or isn't gay, joking, "He could be gay, but he didn't tell me ... I could be gay." They were all laughing together. It was very cute and they were having fun. This happened again when we visited more soldiers in another part of town.
Talking with the soldiers.
Then we went to a place where 12 soldiers were killed by missile only weeks ago on August 6th. It was very emotional and upsetting. The missile explodes to the right and to the left, so anyone in front will not be killed. Soldiers sitting in front of this explosion basically watched their 12 friends die before their eyes. 5 sat to the right and 7 sat to the left. And this was not the only place you saw scenes like this. Everywhere you went you could see a burnt ground.
At the site of the bombing where 12 soldiers died.
We also visited the most bombed areas of Israel and the city of Qiryat Shemona. There were many houses that were hit with nail bombs. They were especially disturbing. These bombs left houses intact, but killed everyone inside, filling them with nails.
The road to the north is extremely beautiful, taking us past Israel's beautiful seas as we drove along. The Galilee, Mediterranean, and the Red and Dead seas all highlight Israel's beautiful landscape. The Galilee is supposed to be the city where Christ walked on water, but you will find many people swimming there now. Even though the area is very beautiful, it's relatively empty. While there, I had one of the best meals of my life at a small restaurant. Our waiter was also very cute, and we asked him his feelings about gays in the military and talked about his life in Israel. He too was open minded to talking about it. He was a 23 yr old beautiful guy who had served as a paratrooper for 4 years. He said he thought that everyone should be in the army to protect Israel, including gay people. He was another example of how tolerant and open the Israeli people are.
Later we travelled through Rosh Pina, the area where many rich Kabbalists come to pray. That's what's attracted Madonna, rumors say she is looking to buy property there. Many superstitious people feel that the area is blessed because over 3,000 rockets were thrown at Israel and not one landed on Rosh Pina. The whole area is very rich like the Hamptons and there are many million dollar homes there. Madonna offered 2 and half million for the place she was interested. The owner said he might sell it to her but hasn't decided yet. Or at least that's the rumor. Anyway, tonight I have my big show in Tel Aviv, and I will be traveling to more parts of Israel to document what is going on here. Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone!
Check out some more of my Israel pics here.
