Gregory Dark Directing Horror Film
Vince McMahon executive producer
from www.adultfyi.com
WWW- That’s "Kane horror," not Kane Hodder, as in a new chiller coming from World Wrestling Entertainment starring WWE RAW Superstar Kane.
The grappler stars in the UNTITLED KANE HORROR PICTURE, which rolled last week in Queensland, Australia. Lions Gate Films has picked up distribution rights for the movie, which is being directed by music video (and adult film) veteran Gregory Dark. WWE honcho Vince McMahon is the executive producer, and the producer is Joel Simon, who says, "We’ve created the classic bad guy, the classic monster. We’re planning to create a villain franchise in the vein of Jason, Freddy and Pinhead."
Dark has won several VMA's including music videos for Christina Aguilera
Britney Spears had previously refused to work with video director Gregory Dark again after learning of his prior career as a porn director.
Dark, who also goes by the name Gregory Hippolyte, has already directed the promotional video for her single 'From The Bottom Of My Heart'.
Yet Britney - who is hardly averse to being scantily-clad herself - and her record company are eager to rid themselves of any connection with Dark and his former vocation.
Before giving up his job in the porn industry, the 51-year old director produced a number of films.
Dark is baffled by the fuss over his past and has said: "Her record company won't use me any more when it came out what I used to do. So I made some porno movies. Big deal. I didn't hurt anybody."
