We’ve been teasing you for a couple weeks, but it’s been released! That’s right, Lucas Entertainment is excited to announce the release of its latest feature, Missing. A pornographic suspense-thriller filmed entirely on location in Barcelona, Spain, Missing centers around the kidnapping of a young traveler (Diego Cruz), and the lengths his friends (Lucas Entertainment exclusive Jonathan Agassi and Michael Lucas) must go through to get him back. Missing marks the debut of Cruz and also includes appearances by Bruno Jones and Carlos Caballero.
We’ll admit, we have been enjoying the early career of porn pup, Jonathan Agassi. And while seeing what he’s been up to, we’re excited to read he’s just finished filming a new movie in Barcelona for Lucas Entertainment called “Missing.” We just saw some sneak preview images, and once again Mr.Pam and crew have slammed out a beautiful new, sexy film.
While vacationing in Barcelona, young Diego Cruz is seduced by a hot local man (Pavlvs Guell). All is going well until Diego realizes it’s a set-up and is then gagged, bagged and kidnapped. His friend Michael Lucas is in New York and on the phone with Cruz when the attack happens and rushes to Spain to find his friend. The story follows as Michael Lucas and Jonathan Agassi get tangled in the dangerous and action-packed search for Diego…all culminating in a showdown at an abandoned factory on the Mediterranean shore.
Sometimes the news here in America makes it seem like open season on gays. Between Sarah Palin and the Tea Baggers (we still shake our heads at that name), Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell kicking us out of the military and gay marriage remaining a dream for most, it’s enough to make the world seem pretty darn cruel and cold to our queer community—and then you come across something truly heart-warming; a simple as an expression of love on a news story on the national news in Israel.
That’s right: the Israel equivalent of our own nightly news, (kinda like an Israeli NBC in Hebrew), did a 17-minute piece on gay porn; specifically, Michael Lucas’ filming of Men of Israel. This alone is pretty darn amazing and inspiring that one day, this type of story could be reported on without scorn or shame, and as an actual interview with the men in the film.
But you can see the even more amazing part by fast-forward to the Jonathan Agassi interview around the 6 and 8 minutes mark. There, Jonathan Agassi’s mother speaks with love and admiration about her hot son. You don’t need to understand Hebrew to understand her true love for her son. You can see it beaming from her eyes as he fidgets and looked down and finally smiles and kisses her. It’s not played up for laughs or shock… just see the expressions and the exchange and you’ll realize this type of journalism is pretty damn impressive, inclusive and wonderfully refreshing…
… especially because there’s still so much shame in the US surrounding involvement with porn. Most porn stars we interview won’t even discuss their families let alone appear on national television alongside them in a show of unembarrassed love.
Anyone out there speak Hebrew? We wanna know what mom thinks of her handsome baby boy.
When I first saw Jonathan Agassi in Lucas Entertainment’s “Men of Israel” I immediately was in awe of his body and his looks. Is that guy for real!??as he evokes this primal Tom of Finland-type gay lust out of me! In other words, he’s gorgeous. And best of all, he’s the real deal?and charming, too. In talking to him, I discovered a certain style and unique quality to Mr. Agassi that I found completely sexy and intriguing.
Maybe it’s in his genes, his mother is a painter and is father a DJ in Berlin?and we’d definitely say Jonathan is a true artist and performer. Raised in Israel, Jonathan proudly says of it, “Tel Aviv is the center of my life and has been for my whole life… I believe that is one of the reasons that I am so open with my sexuality and with myself in general.” And growing up, everyone quickly learned he had a bit of a naughty side to him. (In fact, his mom claims she was always taking him to the hospital to mend a broken leg or arm from fighting with the other boys!), which translates well into his naughty sexual cravings as a man, with some of the hottest guys in porn.
But when asked what turns Jonathan on the most? “Honesty. Pure and simple.” And that’s exactly how we’d describe talking to Jonathan! He’s honest and excited to be exploring this extroverted side of him, but still secretly shy and polite. And if you ask us, that’s the perfect formula for a wonderfully long and sexy career in turning his fans on.
QUEERYING JONATHAN AGASSI: Thanks for talking to QueerClick, Jonathan. I think I first saw you in Men of Israel, but was this actually your first porn movie? Yeah, my first production ever was “Men of Israel” by Lucas Entertainment! So, how did making movies for Lucas Entertainment happen? I heard about Michael Lucas before I actually met him. He was scouting for actors for “Men of Israel” and when I heard that he is coming to my homeland, I immediately contacted him. He came at the best time, because I was building a great desire to get into this industry! And how has it gone so far, for these first few films? The best thing about Lucas Entertainment is that you are given your own stage. Whenever you have the staff and Michael’s trust, you can do whatever you feel is right. To be able to be open and creative makes the whole experience a lot more fun! Has your life changed much since making these films? My life is totally different now. I am easily recognized in our gay scene here in Israel, which is not always a good thing, because in terms of dating people they expect you to be a porn star the whole time and that’s a hard thing to keep up to. But, I am very proud of what I do and I hope to keep on doing it for a long time. And can I pry and ask what did you before making movies? For most of my life, I worked in the fashion industry. I did some modeling, but I liked working behind the scenes… I guess I wasn’t ready yet to show off. Do you enjoy watching your own scenes after they’re done? I’m very critical of myself. I watch every one of my scenes and think of hot ways to make it even better the next time. A funny thing is that I force my two best friends to watch my scenes too, because it’s important for me to get an honest opinion. And so based on their feedback, what scene are you most proud of (at least to date)? Actually, my favorite scene as of now was from my latest movie “Piss Gods.” Martin Passoli and I really rocked it! He is so hot and we had the best chemistry ever.
Hot studs, Rafael Alencar and Jonathan Agassi, sizzle in this scene. After hanging around Notre Dame, Rafael and Jonathan go home to spend some time together. Things heat up when their clothes come off and Jonathan licks all over Rafael’s body. Soon after, Jonathan shows off his deep throat abilities when Rafael face fucks his face. Jonathan swallows all 10 inches of Rafael’s massive cock. Eager to fuck Jonathan’s hot hole, Rafael eats his ass, lubing it up. Once his hole is nice a wet, Rafael takes the plunge. Jonathan takes Rafael’s massive fuck stick, backing up onto it. The boys fuck around more until Rafael is ready to explode. Eager to swallow every drop of Rafael’s manhood, Jonathan sucks Rafael until he blows his hot load all over his mouth.
When Jonathan Agassi pours a foamy beer over his skyward-pointed schlong, it is merely a prelude to the wet and wild antics that inevitably follow. Teaming up with the sculpted and cocksure Sasha Dov, Agassi erects his legs into the air and allows his latest partner to spit and spew the remaining contents of the bottle into his waiting hole. Not one to be easily satisfied, Sasha proceeds to insert the bottle into the smooth, dripping pucker, and then follows with a lengthy piss session into the bottom boy’s thirsty mouth. The piss guzzling evolves into a hot 69 adventure, at which point Jonathan turns the dominator into the dominated by pounding him with his rock hard rod. In a poetic final act, Jonathan creams Sasha across the kisser, a sumptuous echo of their previous piss play
The crew for INSIDE ISRAEL totaled 12 people, and included Creative Director and videographer mr. Pam and publicist and script writer Nate MacNamara, who profiled the journey with daily blog postings on LucasBlog. Also on hand were the passionate, hard-working and talented crew of strong Israeli men who secured the sets, built tents and knew exactly how to control the outdoor elements.
“To call this shoot intense would be an understatement,” noted Lucas Entertainment President/CEO Michael Lucas. “We voyaged across mountains, deserts, forests, and rivers for sometimes up to three hours, in a three-van convoy, carrying all of our equipment, our props, and our models just to reach the right location to shoot in. But when we look at what was have captured on film…it was worth it. We knew coming back here after MEN OF ISRAEL that we had to produce something incredible, just as hot and bring it to another level. I am confident to admit we have.”
From the Men Of Israel Website:
“The nation(Israel) is a trailblazer in the area of gay rights, and the only nation in the Middle East and Asia to recognize same-sex marriages. “This is a liberal country where gay people have all the rights, actually more rights, than gays in the United States,” states Lucas, “There is no ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ policy. Israeli gay men have been able to serve openly in the army since 1993 and gay couples are granted the right to adopt children.” Israel draws its population from over 90 countries, creating a truly progressive, multicultural society.
For this reason, other than showcasing the raw, sexual prowess of Israel men, Lucas also has completed MEN OF ISRAEL as a bold move to promote Israeli culture and tourism. As with the tourist boom in countries like Czech Republic, which became popular gay travel destinations through movies of this type, Lucas aims to parlay the MEN OF ISRAEL’s success into a tourist hike for the nation. Eastern European countries had little to no promotion for the savvy excursionist. “These places did not exist on the map as a destination locale until Bel Ami came along. With their representation through adult movies, these countries were exposed to the realm of gay travelers,” states Lucas. “Through porn, people will enjoy not only watching hot men having hot sex, but also seeing them in their remarkable natural environment, and this is what I intend to do for Israel.”
MIchael Lucas is out to prove that what is one man’s poison is another man’s aphrodisiac. Farts! is the first film in Lucas’ new fetish line of DVD’s and it goes where no one has gone before (we hope). Featuring lots of watersports, a banana(!), a speculum, and lots of gasseous emissions. The words ‘hazzardous duty pay’ come to mind! For those in search of something new in porn this very well could be it…
Michael Lucas just widely circulated a personal email to those in the porn industry — and in Lucas’ trademark dramatic fashion, it’s a bombshell. In it, he accuses Raging Stallion Studios (RSS) — a competing porn studio — of maliciously misleading the plaintiff in a lawsuit brought against Lucas Entertainment for trademark and copyright infringement in remaking the Federico Fellini classic La Dolce Vita as a gay porn film.
Mr. Lucas claims Raging Stallion founders G.C. Slader and Chris Ward are out to ruin Lucas Entertainment for personal gain and that as a result of the lawsuit, Lucas has sacrificed a considerable toll to fight the lawsuit: “It’s not only money that the pooping horses at Raging Stallion have pushed me to waste. Hundreds of hours wasted in discoveries, attorney conference calls, depositions, court appearances; 2 of my office employees and I have been deposed for hours on end. That is not to mention the sleepless nights caused me by this, and the depression over the precious time that Raging Stallion has robbed me of spending with my mother who is dying of cancer.”
There’s nothing like good porn drama to get the blood flowing. We wait with baited breath to see if/how RSS owners G.C. Slader and Chris Ward respond.
Michael Lucas’ full email after the jump.
This press release just landed in our inbox from Lucas Entertainment. Something tells us it’s time to decorate for Halloween. New York, NY (October 3rd, 2007) — The body of Lucas Entertainment founder and CEO Michael Lucas was found last night in his Manhattan apartment.
Authorities released the photo below of the crime scene.
No additional information has been released. Stay tuned for further developments.
UPDATE: Returned-from-the-dead Michael writes: Yes, I was murdered yesterday. But it was only for the role I’m playing in my new film “Gigolo“. So yes, here it is, the publicity stunt. Nothing more than that.
Most of you caught on to the joke, as we put very clearly in the corner of the picture the Lucas Entertainment watermark, and there were a few obvious mistakes in the text. Thank you to you guys for writing about it and playing along, as your mentions were the obviously the idea behind it.
For those who did not catch on the joke, my true and sincerest apologies. I did want to try to keep the charade going for another day or two, but after I received several very concerned emails and phone calls, I decided to cut it short.
For those who said that this is nothing more than a publicity stunt—duh—and in very bad taste because of the porn stars who have passed on this year, let me tell you, people die in every profession. And in most professions, on a daily basis. There aren’t just porn stars who die. There are lawyers and doctors and engineers and toilet attendants. So let’s not get all hysterical here and draw unnecessary parallels. The joke was about MY death, not anyone else’s!
And last but not least, to those of you who rejoiced at the “news”—and I know you’re out there—sorry to cut your celebration short.
QueerClick just finished watching Michael Lucas’ hilarious new sex comedy, “The Intern” and we can’t stop laughing.
The plot is cleverly campy. “Ugly” Benny (Lucas exclusive Ben Andrews) gets an internship at Trojan Studios, performing mundane tasks such as fetching coffee for Botox-injecting boss Alexander Mann (Michael Lucas). When Benny’s humongous cock is discovered by Mann’s assistant Christian (Lucas exclusive Christian Cruz), Benny finds himself thrust in front of the camera.
