HEAVEN ARRIVES IN TIME FOR THE 4TH OF JULY - Vivid Girl Lanny Barby stars in the Paul Thomas directed big budget adult thriller Heaven, which will be in stores by July 1st in standard and Blu-ray versions. Peter Warren of AVN calls the movie "dark, smoldering and sexy the way only P.T. knows how to cook 'em. Hits the high water mark for erotic dramas." Says Hyland Church, co-director of sales for Vivid: "Here's a great chance to see why Paul Thomas has won more awards than any other director in the history of the adult film business." The multi-location film also features Hillary Scott, Nadia Styles, Carly Parker, Kayla Paige, Karlie Montana, Holly Morgan, Tommy Gunn, Tom Byron, Herschel Savage, Van Damage, Chris Cannon, and Alex Gonz. "Lanny was over-the-top hot," Thomas says. "Hillary was as nasty as they come and we've got nine rockin' anal scenes! Doesn't that sound like 'heaven' to you?"
