Los Angeles, Calif. – (September 28, 2017) – Global adult entertainment innovator Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce the release of An Inconvenient Mistress, the prescient adult blockbuster by veteran contract director Brad Armstrong starring Wicked Girl and three-time AVN Best Actress jessica drake. Co-starring Ryan Driller, Armstrong’s latest feature takes aim at the complicated financial schemes that have led to the nation’s economic woes in recent years. The script’s timely events are explored on a human scale, a tactic previously employed by the filmmaker and star on such hit collaborations as Aftermath and DNA. An Inconvenient Mistress arrives in stores September 29, 2017.

“The script for An Inconvenient Mistress was one of those tough ones to write, but man did the hard work pay off,” Armstrong reveals. “We knew we had something really special while we were shooting it. The chemistry between jessica drake and Ryan Driller was so believable, they just seemed natural together. And when I watched the finished movie for the first time, I was so happy with how well it all came together. My cameramen Barrett Blade, Scott Allen and Alex Ladd captured some amazing moments, and my editor Geddy Lee Roth did an incredible job building them into a truly captivating story.”

As Armstrong’s saga begins, Ava (drake) is involved with ambitious – and married –  businessman Ryan. Their relationship is one of convenience; they meet up to explore sex clubs and indulge their fantasies. When Ryan wants to play, he simply tells his wife Catherine that he needs to work late. She suspects something may be going on, but isn’t entirely convinced. William, Ryan’s boss, is excited about an upcoming merger which will allow them to buy stocks at a historic low and profit astronomically. But Ryan soon learns that his affair is on the verge of being exposed, as are his firm’s unscrupulous business dealings.

Fearful that Ava could be acting on insider information, Ryan confronts his mistress. Ava insists she knows nothing about the stock market and hasn’t mentioned the upcoming merger to anyone. But the Security & Exchange Commission has received a tip on possible insider trading at William’s company and has tied Ryan to Ava. With the S.E.C. closing in and Catherine learning of both the affair and the firm’s duplicity, Ryan and William find themselves outmatched by Ava at every turn.

“Playing the character of Ava was actually one of the harder roles I’ve taken on as an actress,” drake says of her latest collaboration with Armstrong. “Normally, I’m given a fair amount of background information or inspiration for a character, which allows me to develop certain mannerisms or tone. Instead, Ava is not based on anyone or anything. I think she presents herself as neither good nor bad, savior nor villain. She just IS.”

Armstrong is quick to concur with drake’s observations, adding “The role of Ava was a difficult one to play. It’s not your typical star/heroine role. It was something different, gritty and understated, but jessica really brought the character to life. In the end, you’re not sure if you like her or hate her, which was great. That ‘grey area’ is what makes a person interesting. jessica has won Best Actress a number of times before and her portrayal of Ava is definitely awards-worthy.”

For her part, drake is quick to point out that expressive acting and thoughtful characterizations are what set Wicked’s output apart from the competition. “I am in awe of the ease with which Ryan Driller played his part. The dialogue felt like talking, emotions were projected easily. Playing alongside a professional takes the work out of the job and allowed us to concentrate on telling the story and having amazing sex – which we did time and time again. Within the movie are some of the best scenes I’ve ever done – a huge orgy with Ryan, Isiah Maxwell, and Eric Masterson, an epic ‘DP’ scene on a car with Ryan and Michael Vegas, and countless other romps with Ryan throughout.” drake and Driller’s other co-stars include Armstrong, Bridgette B, Cali Carter, Ember Snow, Summer Brielle, Honey Gold, India Summer, Morgan Lee, and Seth Gamble.

Temptation, desire and a touch of the taboo are explored by drake in this sexually-charged feature. “Brad Armstrong once again has outdone himself by writing an amazing script, casting it perfectly, choosing locations, designing sets, and executing one of the best-acted movies this year. Working with him has always been my favorite thing – he knows my abilities and potential and makes sure to challenge me every time. Thanks to everyone at Wicked Pictures, we have another hit on our hands.”

An Inconvenient Mistress has already become a social media cause célèbre, with the safe-for-work trailer receiving over 12,000 views in its first five days of release on YouTube (https://youtu.be/ui0vKarf7ns). Both shot and edited in widescreen 16×9 HD, the DVD is packed with additional content, including three bonus sex scenes, behind-the-scenes coverage, a hot hardcore still gallery and other added-value items exclusive to the physical release. The movie can also be viewed on wicked.com.

Like drake, the director is confident they are giving the public something truly special. “The script, the acting, the sex, the locations…An Inconvenient Mistress just works so well. I’m incredibly proud of this film and I think people are really gonna love it.”
