VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR APRIL 23, 2010

SAVANNA AND BELLADONNA STAR IN NEW 'DEVIL' -- Vivid Girl Savanna Samson and Belladonna star in the re-envisioned movie The Devil in Miss Jones The Resurrection, which went on sale this week.  Written by Raven Touchstone and Tony G and directed by Paul Thomas, it is based on the adult classic film The Devil in Miss Jones.  Says Savanna:  "This is about the eternal battle between good and evil. I play the glamorous and sophisticated publisher Pandora Phoenix, who also happens to be an agent of the Devil. She is truly nasty in every way and, of course, my character is wildly sexy and very serious about corrupting anyone within her reach, which makes her almost impossible to resist."  The renowned original 1973 The Devil in Miss Jones told the story of a thirty-something spinster who kills herself because she feels her life is empty. Faced with an eternity in Hell and confronted by the Devil, she is given the opportunity to live one more day and she chooses it to be a day consumed, engulfed and impassioned by lust. Other cast members in the new movie include Penny Flame, Carmella Bing, Rebeca Linares, Victoria Sin, Evan Stone, Nick Manning, Steven St. Croix, Tom Byron and Kurt Lockwood. It is available in high definition, Blu-ray in a two-disc set that includes both behind-the-scenes footage and a bonus scene from The New Devil in Miss Jones starring Jenna Jameson as the Devil and Savanna as Miss Jones.
