So there has been a lot of controversy surrounding our movie project -
'SuicideGirls Must Die', and I want to dispel some misconceptions:
We understand that the tag line "The World's First Reality Horror
Movie" along with the violent imager in the trailer has made some
people think that the models got hurt during the making of this movie,
or their lives were in danger.
That was never the case. After being inspired by the film "Borat",
Sawa and I set out to make a campy 80s style low budget horror flick
where the "victims" of the movie didn't know they were in one.
Our plan was to catch real human reactions to fear and to be able to
"punk" some of our favorite models from the site by making them think
they could be in real danger.
We invited 12 of the girls to Maine to be a part of a summer camp
calendar photo and video shoot. Then with the help of Amina and Sawa
(the 'Calendar Producers'), we conspired to remove the models one by
one, ten little indian style, and film the real chaos, drama and fear
that ensued.
Yes, some of the girls who were a part of the shoot are mad at us for
tricking them or feel they were mistreated by us. Other models have
had a great sense of humor about the whole thing. No one was ever in
danger, and we really, truly love all the girls who were a part of
this little social experiment.
We understand not everyone thinks tricking your coworkers into
thinking their friends were in danger or even dead (and they were
next), is funny, but we have to admit we kind of do.
If you want to judge for yourself - we have been told the movie is
due to open March 12 in a limited run of cool theaters (like Austin's
'Alamo Draft House') and then will be released on DVD and PPV in June.
We are excited to have a cocktail and see the SuicideGirls on the big
screen for the first time after almost 10 years on the web. Soon we'll
have screening info and will post what theaters are running it - In
the meantime you can catch the trailer here:

baudot:
I loved the Victorian swimsuits and "show a little ankle" joke you cracked in the interview. I'd love even more to see you put out a call for Victorian models in the Steampunk and Turn of the Century groups, to actually make that one happen
