The ‘Magic Mike XXL’ Porn Parody Just Got A Trailer; It Looks Exactly Like ‘Magic Mike XXL’
How do you put a porn veneer over a film that already looks so porny?
Show me a popular film or TV show, and I shall show you its porn parody.
Porks And Recreation. The Sex Files. The Da Vinci Load. This Aint Girls XXX. Edward Penishands. And, I’m not even kidding about this, Foreskin Gump.
So it should come as no surprise that the sequel to Magic Mike should succumb to the same treatment. But how do you put a porn veneer on a film that’s already about the sex industry?
Easy: just make the same film, lose the emotionally hefty character arcs, ditch the searing commentary on late-capitalism in America, and add heaps of boning.
Created for Wicked Pictures, Magic Mike XXXL: A Hardcore Parody is a big budget porn film marketed for a female audience; directed by Brad Armstrong, it stars Derrick Pierce as Magic Mike and Seth Gamble as The Kid, with Ryan Driller (Ken), Toni Martinez (Tito), Dick Chibbles (Tarzan) and Ryan McLane, with a spot-on Matthew McConaughey impersonation, as Dallas. As for the women, there are both existing and new female characters played by Bridgette B., Jessica Drake, Asa Akira and more. And the whole thing sounds kind of excellent.
The plot was derived from Magic Mike and what the director could glean from the sequel’s trailer; Armstrong himself spent ten years as a male stripper, so knew what he was looking for in the auditions. “I was going to have a big casting call and dance tryouts, but when I started looking at the mainstream actors alongside our industry’s talent pool, my choices became VERY clear,” he told AVN.com (That’s a NSFW link there.) “It’s been so much fun getting the guys ready for the stage—it kind of felt like my old stripper days.”
Magic Mike XXXL gets released on Wednesday July 8; Magic Mike XXL comes out in Australian cinemas the day after, and is premiering in Sydney at the Qantas Credit Union Arena on Monday July 6, featuring appearances from Channing Tatum (“Mike”) and Joe Manganiello (“BDR”).
And here’s the trailer to that one. Which is not too dissimilar from the other.
