Legendary multiple-award winning director Paul Thomas will helm the new original screenplay production titled "The New Behind the Green Door." Press is invited to attend the casting call and meet McKenna Taylor on Friday, July 20 from 1-4pm PDT at the Vivid offices, 3599 Cahuenga Blvd. W, 4th flr., Los Angeles, CA 90068. Press is also invited to attend the call backs for performers which has been scheduled for July 23 for 1-4pm PDT, also at the Vivid offices. Ms Taylor will attend both casting sessions.
"Vivid has already made best-selling movies based on 'Deep Throat,' 'the Devil in Miss Jones' and 'Debbie does Dallas,' and with 'Behind the Green Door' we will have reprised all four of the iconic early adult films," said Steven Hirsch, the studio's founder/co-chairman. "The 70s are referred to as 'the Golden Age of Porn' and these four titles helped launch the porn business into the mainstream. 'Behind the Green Door' dug deep into the sexual side of human nature and took viewers to a place that no other adult film had gone before. We hope to achieve the same result with our remake."
Released in 1972, "Behind the Green Door" is believed to be the first hardcore adult movie widely distributed in the US And is credited with helping to establish a mainstream market for porn. The original was directed by brothers Artie and Jim Mitchell. It generated headlines when it was revealed that Chambers was the same beautiful blonde model seen smiling and holding a freshly diapered baby on boxes of Ivory Snow laundry detergent that were on the shelves of millions of homes across the country, until they were hurriedly recalled by the manufacturer.
Vivid obtained rights to "Behind the Green Door" earlier this year. Following the selection of a cast, Vivid will start production of the remake of "Behind the Green Door" in September and a release date will be announced.
