I would like to say CONGRATULATION to my blog buddy Jasun Mark. The movie he directed last year, DICK DANGER, is nominated in 7 categories for The 2014 Grabbys Awards – Best Movie, Best Actor (Jesse Jackman), Best Screenplay, Best Videography, Best All Sex Movie, Steamworks Fan Favorite and Jasun Mark himself is nominated for Best Director.
I’ll let Jasun Mark himself walks you through the story behind his movie “Dick Danger.”
DICK DANGER is my homage to the 60s and 70s crime comics, spy novels and gangster movies I grew up with. Always fun to put my own porno-spin on the classics. This has got a very edgy, gritty, graphic novel look and feel but I never forgot that I was first and foremost, making a Titanmen movie.
I wanted to being those comics to life and give it a bright, saturated colour and use those slanted camera angles and sparse sets you get with hand-drawn comics. I wanted all the guys to be big, beefy muscle men and I chose Tom Wolfe to play Dick because he has that same square jaw as Dick Tracy.
I decided early on that instead of getting Tom to do a voice-over or have the characters act out too much of the story, I’d create a comic book to scroll by to set up the scenes. I actually had a cast who were pretty good actors compared to most porn performers, so I still let them deliver a couple of lines, but I wanted to keep the whole movie rooted in that comic book universe. The soundtrack had to have that Batman sound to it, but I was also very careful about making sure that there wasn’t a lot of extraneous sound on the locations, so I was able to break with tradition and just have music for the scene setups and then just leave the room and ambient sound for the scenes themselves.
Titan were a bit baffled when I explained what I was doing, but after the success I’d had with Nightfall and Wide Awake, they put enough trust in me to let me get creative. Still, I had Bruce Cam’s voice ringing in my ears the whole time telling me “We Sell Hard Dick.“
I wanted to put it in that comic universe but I was careful to never forget that I was making a Titanmen movie.
And that’s what we got.
