(VAN NUYS, CA) -- The cover art for Digital Playground's epic sequel ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge'' is now available, as well as juicy facts concerning the budget, the special effects, and the raw, passionate sex.

The original ''Pirates'' made history as the most expensive adult film ever produced, but it is left in the shadow of ''Pirates II'' and its 10 times larger budget. The extra cost can be partly attributed to the over 600 astounding special effects. However, the CGI only plays a supporting role to the fervent sexual chemistry possessed by the star-studded cast.

''Pirates II'' marks the 1st time Digital Playground contract star Jesse Jane® and BellaDonna have performed with each other in 5 years. The blockbuster also features the debut boy/girl/boy experience ever, on or off film, for an eager Shay Jordan(TM), as well as the 1st boy/girl scene for sizzling hot newcomer Riley Steele(TM).

The vibrant and sexy artwork for ''Pirates II'' will have everyone counting down the days to the film's release in September. Joone, Digital Playground's Founder and the esteemed filmmaker behind ''Pirates II'', talks about the cover art. He says, ''I really wanted the girls to take center stage on the cover; they are the stars of the movie. I also wanted the cover to reveal a glimpse of the special effects--fierce storms, dreadful creatures, and magic are all integral parts of 'Pirates II'. 'Pirates II' is much darker than the original, and we spared no expense in this production to get the desired effect.''

Meanwhile, Jesse Jane spared no amount of energy in creating the most wild and intense sex adult film has ever witnessed. Of her memorable scene with BellaDonna, Jesse confides, ''I think Bella was a bit timid at first because she didn't know what I could handle. I told her to hold nothing back. I'm not like most girls. I wanted to experience first hand why she has the reputation that she does. I have never experienced anything like what happened between us on the set. It was amazing! You'll have to buy the movie to see what I mean, but let's just say it changed me.''

Sasha Grey describes the special atmosphere that surrounded the production. She says, ''There was always sexual energy on set. My sex scene with Evan Stone and BellaDonna was amazing! We all wanted to [have sex]; we were all horny. It was what pornography should be--flawless and unforgiving in every sense! This was definitely an exhilarating, filthy sex scene from the three of us. It was definitely one of the best scenes of my career!''

Digital Playground's newest signed contract girl is Riley Steele and ''Pirates II'' contains her first filmed sex scene ever. Riley says, ''What a fabulous film to start my career with. The original 'Pirates' was partly responsible for my decision to enter the industry. As if just being in the film wasn't enough, what was supposed to be my first boy/girl scene turned out to be so much more. Joone added Shawna Lenee to the scene. Shawna is gorgeous. She makes me so hot and bothered. This is the perfect job for me!''

'Pirates II' also stars Digital Playground's beautiful contract girls Shay Jordan(TM), Katsuni, Stoya(TM), and Gabriella Fox(TM). The cast list includes the many talents of Jenna Haze, Brianna Love, Abbey Brooks, Shawna Lenee, Rhylee Richards, Brea Lynn, Shyla Stylez, and Veronica Rayne. Evan Stone, Tommy Gunn, and Steven St. Croix reprise their ground-breaking roles from the original ''Pirates''. They are joined by fellow studs Manuel Ferrara, James Deen, Marco Banderas, Mick Blue, Ben English, and Charles Dera.

All hands are on deck for ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge'', which will release in September of 2008. The film is directed by award-winner Joone, and produced by Joone and his business partner Samantha Lewis.
