About "Pirates": From its' famed launch with a Hollywood-style premiere at the Egyptian theatre, a two-month, nationwide promotional tour, coverage in a multitude of highbrow college papers and a handful of sold-out University screenings, Joone's 'Pirates' has been destined for success. The high-definition release garnered press from sources like MSNBC, Variety, LA Times, Associated Press, KDKA and Reuters. Newsweek touted the release as "a sprawling epic" and the NY Times acknowledged, "Pirates has a high production value and is meant to appeal to both women and men." In addition to dozens of adult publications, Pirates made the cover of Home Cinema Magazine, Tampa Bay Times and Real Detroit Weekly. LA Weekly named it a Video Pick of the Week and HD TV Total raves, "from packaging over introduction, actors and story, to special effects, everything is just right with this one."
In May of 2006, Joone's Pirates become the first adult movie to successfully crossover into Hollywood, receiving an R Rating from the MPAA and mainstream distribution from MTI. Hot on the tails of the platinum sales of the original XXX version, the R-rated DVD began shipping in record numbers in July. In September 2006, Digital Playground released Pirates stand-alone soundtrack. To date, Pirates has received a record-breaking 40 awards internationally, including 13 from AVN. |
