| LOS ANGELES, CA – (August 11, 2017) – Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce blockbuster creator Brad Armstrong is preparing to release Takers, a gritty two-disc mega-production starring Wicked Girl Asa Akira. Set a heartbeat in the future but infused with drama as timely as today’s headlines, this three-hour epic finds the director taking aim at the deadly games played behind the scenes of a corrupt healthcare system where the gift of life goes to the highest bidder. Slated to go on sale August 23, 2017, this explosive drama’s roll-out comes as Ms. Akira is making topical headlines of her own: As the Inquisitr reports (http://bit.ly/2uHFZ4w), she recently earned a place alongside Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Jessica Alba in a U.K. poll on the top five “Celebrity Fantasy Robot Lovers.”
While Asa has indeed portrayed an AI for Armstrong before (most notably in DNA, where she earned the 2017 XBIZ Award for Best Supporting Actress), the director’s latest masterwork finds her playing someone who is all too human. For as Takers begins, the government has turned its back on society, and the healthcare and medical insurance industries are unregulated and out of control. Costs have skyrocketed and many procedures have become “black market” operations, which has led to an epidemic of organ selling…and stealing. Donor lists are now a thing of the past and patients are willing to do whatever it takes to get the life-saving organs they need.
Alan Hendrix, an unscrupulous businessman, has assembled a team of “Takers” – Karen (Akira), Sienna (Anna Foxxx) and Carrie (Kleio Valentine) – beautiful seductresses who lure men into a night of passion they’ll never forget. Unfortunately, they wake up to find they’ve become unwilling organ donors. The cast also features Armstrong, Christiana Cinn, Sarah Vandella, Marcus London, Derrick Pierce, Ryan Driller and Xander Corvus.
“This edge of your seat drama mixes intense sex, intriguing storytelling, and incredible acting by some of today’s most talented performers,” the director says of his latest super-production. “Everyone we’ve screened it for has been blown away by how gritty and intense the story is, especially for an ‘adult’ film. Takers is a must-see and will change your mind about what an adult movie can be.”
The safe-for-work trailer may be viewed at http://bit.ly/2vGTOET. The project’s striking cover art showcasing Akira, Valentien and Foxx is available at https://www.wickedb2b.com/movies/takers.
In addition to the release of the film’s gorgeous cover art and fascinating trailer, Wicked is running a special promotion for social media audiences. The company’s official Twitter account (twitter.com/wickedpictures) has posted a free safe-for-work Twitter banner featuring shots of Akira, Valentien and Foxxx from the movie. Fans are encouraged to take the banner, upload it to their own pages, and then tweet the hashtag #ImATaker to @wickedpictures. Wicked will commemorate the movie’s release on August 23 by choosing ten “Takers” at random to receive complimentary copies of both the two-disc, gatefold sleeve Takers DVD and Armstrong’s award-winning DNA starring Asa Akira and jessica drake.
