Will Ryder Wraps Another One

If you read these pages regularly, you know Will Ryder. Publicist, raconteur, bon vivant and party thrower extraordinaire (I used to call him "The Perle Mesta of the porno-American community" until I got tired of explaining who the hell Perle Mesta was), Ryder makes his daily bread by directing gonzo videos and big-budget plot-driven videos, usually parodies of major TV hits including
The Brady Bunch (twice),
Bewitched,
Three's Company and
The Partridge Family.
He just wrapped Flight Attendants, an original comedy, after nine days of shooting.
"If it’s not a smash hit we’re completely fucked," Ryder said as he finished the final shooting days on board a jumbo jet interior at 5 a.m.
"We were destined to do something original, something totally funny and pack it with the sexiest girls we could find even if they were contract stars from other companies," co-producer Scott David said. "This movie is definitely a big gamble on our part but if you saw what I witnessed on set when we were shooting you would agree that it’s going to be a home run and definitely one of the best pictures of the year."
The jaw-dropping cast features Hillary Scott, Teagan Presley, Kayden Kross, Shyla Stylez, Sunny Lane, Misty Stone, Eva Angelina, Kacey Jordan, Lexi Love, Michelle Maylene, Kenzi Marie, Brooke Belle, Cali Couture, Farrah, Evan Stone, Randy Spears, James Bartholet, Jack Lawrence, Ron Jeremy, Eric Swiss, Dino Bravo, Eric John, Barry Scott, Brad Hardy, Scott Lyons, Billy Glide — and Thomas Hope of Not the Cosbys XXX who plays an air traffic controller that pilots confuse with Bill Cosby.
Kayden Kross appears courtesy of Adam & Eve Pictures and Teagan Presley and Eva Angelina appear through special association with Skinworxxx. I guess Scarlett Johansson couldn't clear her schedule.
"It’s the funniest movie we’ve ever executed by far and the actors pulled it off wonderfully and were totally dedicated to the project. In the movie we poke fun at just about every ethnic group including white people because nothing is off limits in Flight Attendants but we do it all in a very good natured way well at least I think we did it in a good natured way," Ryder said with soulful concern. "But fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke," he said as he burst out with laughter that almost knocked a cute young porn starlet off his lap.
That's a good line. I found it in the press release and left it alone.
Flight Attendants will be out later this year from X-Play/Adam & Eve. Look for it at awards shows near you.
