FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michael Lucas graces cover of Genre magazine

New York, NY (January 8th, 2008) — Lucas Entertainment President and CEO Michael Lucas is featured as the cover subject of the January/February 2008 issue of Genre magazine, the oldest national consumer magazine for gay men.

“America loves Michael Lucas—I am just giving the people what they want,” said Genre Editor-in-Chief Neal Boulton. Boulton’s newly relaunched version of Genre—much like those of his many previous magazine relaunches like Men’s Fitness—focuses it on the essential or “core” interests of men: fitness, sex and relationships, entertainment, travel, gear, and fashion.

The Lucas cover story features an 12-page black-and-white fashion spread throughout the magazine by photographer Ray Lego, along with interview quotes from Lucas about his life philosophies.

“I am very proud that Genre chose me to be on their cover, as national consumer magazines—even if they are gay—tend to shy away from putting members of the adult community front and center,” said Lucas.

The issue hits U.S. newsstands on January 15th and will be available online at http://www.GenreMagazine.com. The magazine will also be on newsstands in England and Germany.

“The Intern” and “Gigolo” land on multiple year-end Best-of lists for 2007

New York, NY (December 4th, 2008) — Lucas Entertainment’s dramatic blockbuster “Michael Lucas’ Gigolo” and its first sex comedy “The Intern” have both landed on multiple year-end “Best of” lists for 2007, including those for Fleshbot, ManNet, and Rad Video.

“There were no other movies like ‘Gigolo’ and ‘The Intern’ in 2007,” said Lucas Entertainment President and CEO Michael Lucas. “They’ve both been runaway successes for us, and I’m glad the industry has recognized them as such.”

“The Intern” is the only gay title to appear in Fleshbot’s “Gram’s Dirty Dozen: The Year In Porn Movies.” It is also the only non-bareback gay film to appear on Rad Video’s top 10 Videos of 2007.

On ManNet’s 11th Annual Best 100 Videos of the Year list, “Gigolo” and “The Intern” appear alongside seven other Lucas Entertainment titles, including “Encounters 4: On the Job” and “Auditions: 15-20.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Michael Lucas’ Gigolo” now available for pre-order, set for November 27th release
New York, NY (November 12th, 2007) — Lucas Entertainment’s next blockbuster feature, “Michael Lucas’ Gigolo,” is set for an November 27th release to retail stores for $69.95. The Directors’ Edition of the film is available for pre-order now for $59.95 exclusively at LucasEntertainment.com (click here to pre-order!).”This is an epic porn film in the same dramatic vein as ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ and ‘Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita,” said Lucas Entertainment President and CEO Michael Lucas. “‘Gigolo’ is more like a real feature that just so happens to have hot sex in it. The plot is in-depth with much attention to the acting, the videography is beautiful, and as always it is a collective effort of many people, from fashion stylists to interior designers, cameramen to photographers, and models to non-sexual extras.”Directed by Lucas and Tony Dimarco—the team that won the Best Director GAYVN this year for “Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita”“Michael Lucas’ Gigolo” takes place in the dark, underground world of a New York City gigolo. Following the tragic death of his lover, ex-hustler Louis McMann (Michael Lucas) is thrust back into that sordid world in order to survive and gets caught in a web of deceit, lies… and murder. The film also stars Lucas exclusives Ray Star, Ben Andrews, Erik Grant, and J., as well as Anthony Marks, Arpad Miklos, Zack Randall, Jason Ridge, Jason Sparks, Lars Svenson, Scott Tanner, Jimmy Trips and Kurt Wild.“Working on ‘Gigolo’ was an exciting prospect,” said Dimarco, who wrote the film’s screenplay. “Creating a story that crosses an Upper West Side mentality with downtown street hustler culture was a great set up for contrast and styles. Working with a world renowned stylist (who also styled both ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ and ‘Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita’) to take ’street hustler’ fashion an making it fashionable was lots of fun as well as a departure for us.”“I had always wanted to make a film about male hustlers,” continued Dimarco. “I think it’s intriguing for viewers to get a peek into this world. The sexual exchange between hustler and john can be highly erotic and hot. We hired some of the best models in the business who we thought could translate our vision of this story.”

The film also features an original score by 2007 GAYVN Best Music award winners nekked and non-sexual performances from Lucas exclusive Spencer Quest and the film’s production manager Joe Shepard in two roles (following his memorable role as the receptionist in “The Intern”).
