Vivid Opens 'Backdoor to Chyna' Today

LOS ANGELES—Responding to strong consumer demand, Vivid Entertainment has advanced the release date of Backdoor to Chyna and is making it available at www.vivid.com starting today. The no-holds-barred sexual adventure movie stars former professional wrestling champion Chyna, aka Joanie Marie Laurer. "Word got out that we had made a movie with Chyna and the reaction has been strong, so we decided to make it available immediately on Vivid.com," Vivid founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch said. "We knew she had a sizeable fan base from her wrestling days, but we didn't realize how huge it is. Fans will love it because the movie reflects Chyna's uncompromising approach to life. She knew exactly what she wanted in the movie—to push her sexual boundaries as never before. Together Chyna and her director B. Skow deliver one sizzling package." A trailer from the movie has also been posted on www.vivid.com. "This is the XXX movie that I always wanted to make for my fans and it is full-out nasty," said Chyna, who was called the "Ninth Wonder of the World" during her fighting days because of her aggressive wrestling style against both men and women. In addition to winning the WWF Women's Championship, Chyna is the only female in professional wrestling history to compete full time in the men's division, where she twice held the WWF Intercontinental Championship. "I chose the guys in the movie and made sure that the sex is as wicked as it can be," Chyna added. "We did scenes in a warehouse, a bar, a gym and even in my own home in the Hollywood Hills—and I guarantee you it is hot, hot, hot." "She was so over-the-top sexually that she blew me away and I think viewers will love it," said Skow. Chyna has continually set the bar very high for herself. She graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA; speaks fluent Spanish, French and German; served in the ROTC and the Peace Corps; has been on the covers of numerous magazines from Playboy to People and on such TV shows as The Surreal Life: Fame Games and Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. "I've always been a pioneer in my life and I am thrilled with this movie. I loved every minute of it. It made me feel beautiful, sexy and very empowered. My fans know that I've been through many obstacles and I want them to know that I feel and look better than ever and I'm definitely ready for them to see me close-up," said Chyna. "I think almost every adult can use a little porn in their lives. If they don't want to make a movie, they can benefit from watching one. And if they don't think sex is a natural human function, they should seek help." Backdoor to Chyna will be available on DVD in stores across the country on Monday, June 27. The cast includes Dylan Ryder, Diana Prince, Dayna Vendetta, Evan Stone, Lee Stone, Jerry, Mick Blue and Billy Glide.
