CHATSWORTH, Calif.—For the producers of HBO’s Entourage to lend a little verisimilitude to Sasha Grey’s portrayal of herself on the show, it was only natural that they would eventually enlist other adult talent to appear. (Albeit any concern over accuracy apparently took a swan dive out the window when it came to the pivotal plot point of Sasha’s commanding $200,000 for a gangbang movie.)

In September 12th’s season-closing episode, 2007 AVN Male Performer of the Year Tommy Gunn fills that slot, so to speak … though unlike Sasha, he plays an altogether fictional character. The name of the character—an ex-boyfriend of Sasha’s working with her in the lavishly budgeted gangbang movie—happens, coincidentally enough, to be Vince; that, of course, being the name of the show’s main character, played by Adrian Grenier, with whom Sasha took up in episode five of this season.

“What’s funny was, I got a call from somebody who said, ‘They’re looking for a Tommy Gunn-type porn star,’” Gunn told AVN. “A guy who’s rough around the edges and somebody who can intimidate Vince.”

Marking his first outing on a mainstream production, Gunn compared the operation to those in Porn Valley as being “tremendously organized, and a lot more people. But everybody was tremendously kind, and even expressed, ‘Yo, I’m a fan!’ The experience was great. I just hope it’s the beginning of some other stuff, because I’m just yearning for more of a challenge.”

Gunn was quick to note that in no way does he harbor any intentions of turning his back on the XXX business.

“The adult industry is wonderful, but I just don’t feel like there’s enough things that are challenging,” he explained. “I’ll always come from adult, I’ll always know where I came from. I’m just going to really gear up to try to keep this momentum going and try to get well received in the mainstream. The lines are getting more and more blurred, and we’re seeing it happen. I just hope mainstream does their homework, in the respect that when they do call upon somebody from the adult industry it’s not some guy who just started, or a female for that matter.

“Some of the people in the industry could care less—’Yeah, I’m in porn ’cause I want to be in porn.’ And that’s great, and me too, but for myself, this many years later, I just see it as a natural progression for me to try and move to the next level,” Gunn asserted.

Some might hastily laugh off such ambitions as so much pie-in-the-sky folly, but let’s be perfectly frank here: if The Rock can do it—or Ice Cube, or, well, Sasha Grey—why in the world can’t Tommy Gunn?

“People ain’t even ready for what I’m capable of,” he proclaimed, “in terms of, not even the acting, [but] the physicality of certain things. I want to be an action guy. I want to do the action stuff, the Jason Statham, Crank-style stuff, and I can do that. I’ve been real quiet about a lot of things because of a number of reasons, but I’m hooked up with top Hollywood stunt guys and a Toronto-based guy, the guy who just did Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. These are the relationships that I’m cultivating and they have told me, ‘We see a mainstream appeal to you.’ And the way the times are happening, it’s pop culture for porn stars to be crossing over.”

Again, Gunn stressed that, “I’m trying to be a spokesperson for our industry, not say, ‘Oh, I hate it and want to get out.’ That’s certainly not how I feel. It’s just, from an actor’s or an artist’s point of view, there’s a thing called ‘unfulfilled.’ It’s like, the day I won Male Performer, I was already like, ‘What’s the next thing?’ Everybody else is like, ‘Revel in this, enjoy this moment,’ and I am, and I have, but I just hope that I continually get the opportunity. And as a guy, it’s tough, because we’re always fighting for recognition and some sort of acknowledgement in our industry, ’cause more often than not, we go by the wayside. But I’m still here. I’m still relevant.”

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—When mainstream television embraces the adult world, it’s usually the shapely form of a top female star that gets caught in the clinch. But this weekend one of Porn Valley’s studs will feel the love instead.

On Sunday night at 10:30 p.m., when the season finale of Entourage airs on HBO, Sasha Grey won’t be the only adult star sharing the small screen with series star Adrian Grenier. Cast as Grey’s former fiancé is multiple AVN Award-winning star Tommy Gunn.

“It’s about time that mainstream sees what the other side of the adult world can deliver,” says Marcus London of London Gunn Films. “Tommy is no stranger to performing and is certainly more than ready to take on prime-time television.”

Gunn is one of the few highly recognizable adult male stars to cross over—and as London notes, he’s more than ready, with various dramatic roles under his belt, so to speak. He did a dramatic turn as the title character in Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge, and also had meaty parts in Adam & Eve’s Rawhide 2: Dirty Deeds and The 8th Day.

Gunn and London, his business partner in London Gunn Films, are set to street the first-ever 3D adult film released on Blu-ray: Cummin’ at You 3D. The film nominated for six AVN Awards, will be hitting shelves soon in limited quantities. This sets another milestone for London and Gunn, who brought fans the first interactive 3D adult experience, and they promise more surprises will be coming at us.

The old Field of Dreams quote, “If you build it, he will come” takes on a whole new meaning when applied to the 3D technology seen at the Adult Entertainment Expo and the Consumer Electronics Show, running concurrently in Las Vegas this weekend.

The world of adult entertainment always follows technological advances as it has with the advent of VHS tapes, DVDs and the Internet. With blockbusters like Avatar and new TVs on display at CES increasing the popularity of 3D, this technology for the home is fast approaching, and the world of pornography is right on its heels.

Last October, porn star, director and producer Tommy Gunn introduced the world’s first 3D interactive adult film:Tommy Gunn’s Cummin’ at You, which was nominated for six AVN awards this year. Now the porn pioneer has teamed up with friend and occasional co-star Marcus London to create London Gunn Films, a company targeted at releasing only 3D films.

London said, “We realized that after Avatar and the amount of movies that have come out this past year in 3D, that this is the future.”

Their initial venture into 3D porn was a risky one, though, as the technology is not widespread just yet. There are some 3D compatible TVs on the market today though most of the major manufacturers stated at CES this year that they are estimating a mid-year release of their newest 3D compatible devices. Their appeal should be massive if 3D-film ticket sales are any indication, but it is anyone’s guess if they will become as popular and prevalent as DVD players and Blu-ray players became in the years following their releases.

This was a tester to see how the market and the business would take it and welcome this kind of technology,” London said. “So far, so good. Obviously it’s new technology and people have been scared about how it would work on their TV or how they would play it.”

He added, “There are many TVs out there now that are 3D-ready and they’re not that expensive. The one we brought to AEE to show our film, we just walked into a Best Buy and bought it for $700. And it’s a super thin Samsung flat screen. When you consider that price, that’s fairly cheap for a 42″ TV that can accommodate 3D. We also picked up an Acer, a 3D capable laptop, for only $800.”

The technology does exist and the major companies estimate sales of 3D units in the millions in the coming years. Vizio announced this year at CES that they are going to have a 65″ XVT Pro 3D Full HDTV available in the first half of this year. The 72-inch model with wifi access and 3D capability is estimated to run about $3,500.

Once these products are widely available, the other variable is how quickly customers will make the switch to 3D adult films. London explained, “Seeing is believing. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not sure what it is. It’s a new technology and it’s going to take time for people to open their arms and say ‘I want your 3D.’”

London’s business partner Tommy Gunn noted, “Our films can be viewed in 2D as well, but when the time comes, and it’s very close, we’ll have a 3D library when the 3D content is being sought after because the 3D technology is there. We’ll have it.”

Gunn explained that the creation of a 3D adult film is a lot more complicated than the traditional format. “It is more knowing the science behind it. A typical DP — not the DP we usually speak of in our business, but the director of photography — has to be a stereoscopic director of photography. It’s a different ball game. You can’t just tape two cameras together and make it a 3D,” Gunn said.

London and Gunn got an early start in the 3D porn industry but newcomers are seeking to make their marks as well. Lance B. Johnson, president of BadGirls in 3D, also attended AEE to promote his new website, BadGirlsIn3D.com, which launched over the weekend.

While London and Gunn plan to corner the market on 3D adult films, Johnson’s company is focused on web technology and selling the products to accompany it. Johnson explained, “We’re selling a complete in-home, turnkey package which includes a 60″ 3D compatible Mitsubishi TV, two pairs of active shutter glasses, a micro PC with a stereo player and all the cables you need to plug it in for $3,999. We’re also selling an adult subscription service for our online content.”

Johnson plans to branch out into longer films once the technology is readily available for consumers. “Right now we are just shooting scenes but we are toying with the idea of shooting a 3D horror porn because horror is obviously a very popular subject matter for 3D movies. Perhaps science-fiction porn.”

That is probably music to the ears of some of the sci-fi loving technophiles down the hall at CES.
