Crux Extrema I<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>is back on the editing table while\u00a0Pygmalion<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0got a postponement because a sudden film festival invitation opened up a new set of possibilities for a bigger promotion, but the postponement is only for a few weeks, the release is still on the works but with more going into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\u00a0Crux Extrema I<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0the new meets the old. A contemporary story with medieval elements, which makes it a very intriguing movie to watch… unless of course you have an aversion to Tattoos, which will make this film unwatchable for you regardless of how extremely hot it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dani goes through a lot of exciting things, she says they are very exciting for her, even if they are very painful, extremely uncomfortable, absolutely medieval, pretty weird, and so on. She gets beaten, whipped, scourged, pricked and beaten and whipped and scourged some more. All of it on top of the wheel’s rim. It’s interesting to see that Jac has Dani in many different positions and situations on the same devilish apparatus of pain. This is the first movie in the three part series\u00a0Crux Extrema<\/span><\/strong>. Three different stories all with a beginning, an end and a unique plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan is to release the first one at the end of September. A second one is going into production next week and not too much later the third and final one. The second and third films should be in the can and in post production by the end of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that production work is done, a new series of feature films will begin, more mainstream films, like\u00a0Casa de Fieras (Menagerie)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0based on\u00a0Jekyll and Hyde<\/strong>, and another\u00a0De Sade<\/strong>\u00a0inspired story\u00a0La Femme De Chambre<\/span><\/strong>. In the meantime, and before September is over, Amy will be done with the production of her new film,\u00a0Rucker<\/span><\/strong>. I got word that for the next few weeks Amy will be unavailable… I know she’ll do an amazing job, and we’ll be anxiously waiting to hear from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we can’t forget\u00a0Monxa Mala<\/span><\/strong>, our number one bestseller still, which will continue to reign for at least two more months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love it! It’s Margot! Reine Margot herself, the film historian with the big brain who finally decides to join us. Congratulations, you’re exactly the type of person who would know a film like this. You should play trivia with us again, I know you’d be good at it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>Ralphus<\/span><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be happy to play trivia once in a while, if I know the film in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucio Fulci was an early inspiration to Jac, after he saw a couple of his movies way back in the late sixties, early seventies, one of those movies was Una lucertola con la pelle di donna (Lizard in a woman skin)<\/strong> from 1971 where there’s a lot of nudity and lesbian sex. But one that hit the mark for him was Beatrice Cenci,<\/strong> about a young Roman noblewoman who murdered her father, Count Francesco. This young woman was tortured and later beheaded. The title in English baffles me Conspiracy of Torture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
