 DIGITAL PLAYGROUND’S PIRATES II: STAGNETTI'S REVENGE RECEIVES R-RATING FROM MPAA
Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge R-Version Releases on DVD & Blu-ray™, February 24!
January 26, 2009 --- VAN NUYS, Calif. --- On February 24, Digital Playground releases the anticipated MPAA R-rated version of “Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge” on DVD and Blu-ray™. “Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge”, the best-selling, blockbuster XXX movie written and directed by the internationally acclaimed Joone, is only the second adult movie to ever receive an R-rating from the MPAA. The first movie was the original, cult-classic “Pirates”. Digital Playground has once again teamed up with MTI Home Video for a release in top retail and rental stores across the world, including Best Buy, Blockbuster, and Albertsons. Pre-orders for the movie are exponentially greater than the successful numbers of the first movie. “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” transcends common fan niches unlike any movie before it, and an R-rating makes it available to an even larger audience.

“‘Pirates’ and now ‘Pirates II’ are very exciting projects for MTI to work on,” says Jay Grossman, VP of Sales and Acquisitions for MTI Home Video. “The phenomenal success of ‘Pirates’ opened doors for the sequel, and rightfully so, with ‘Pirates’ becoming the most awarded adult film of all time, only to be eclipsed by the sequel at the AVN Awards. ‘Pirates II’ is larger than life, with incredible talent, story, sets, and of course the blockbuster F/X. Joone and the Digital Playground team have once again outdone themselves, and fans of action adventure films will be very pleased with the R-rated version MTI is set to release next month. We congratulate and celebrate Digital Playground on their historic success.”
Joone, Digital Playground’s Founder says, “The R-rating is a testament to the all-around production value that went into ‘Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge’. MTI shares our vision and we’re thankful for the great partnership.”
Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground’s CEO adds, “The adult version of ‘Pirates II’ is surpassing our expectations in every way. Since its release four months ago, the movie remains a lock on the top of sales charts around the world. The R version appeals to those looking to ease into adult entertainment, as well as fans of thrilling epic movies. The massive number of pre-orders indicates the extensive interest in this historic achievement.
IGN.com movie reviewer Gerry Block writes, “Proclaiming that pornography has gone mainstream is a headline that will surely get attention in old-people's newspapers like USA Today, but to anyone's whose carpet and blinds aren't a matching shade of grey, its seriously old news. The industry's biggest stars have broken into the B-List of general celebrity, and production budgets are on a dramatic rise. Digital Playground has risen to the forefront of the industry in recent years by riding this new wave of social acceptance at the crest, and the studio has now achieved an industry first in successfully re-editing a XXX film into an MPAA sanctioned R-rated release.”
“Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” stars Digital Playground’s beautiful contract girls Jesse JaneŽ, Stoya ™, Katsuni, Riley Steele™ and Gabriella Fox™. The film costars the talents of BellaDonna, Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze, Brianna Love, Shay Jordan™, Abbey Brooks, Shawna Lenee, Rhylee Richards, Brea Lynn, Shyla Stylez, and Veronica Rayne. Evan Stone, Tommy Gunn, and Steven St. Croix reprise their groundbreaking roles from the original “Pirates”. The film also includes industry studs Manuel Ferrara, James Deen, Marco Banderas, Mick Blue, Ben English, and Charles Dera.
All hands are on deck for the epic, blockbuster “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”, directed by award-winner Joone, and produced by Joone and his business partner Samantha Lewis. The adult film released on DVD on September 27 and Blu-ray on November 7. The R-rated version releases on DVD and Blu-ray on February 24.
