LOS ANGELES — Director, screenwriter and reigning XBIZ Male Performer of the Year Seth Gamble has released the trailer for his upcoming Wicked Pictures feature, "Reckless."
Produced by Axel Braun, the title also features Ivy Wolfe, Kenna James, Lexington Steele, Tommy Pistol, Kenzie Anne, Ryan Reid, August Skye, Nicole Doshi, Nathan Bronson and David Lee.
"An exhilarating crime saga that defies easy categorization, Reckless is the story of Silas Knight (Gamble), a racing enthusiast and tech genius, and the milieu of greed and betrayal he’s enmeshed in after designing a chip that radically improves car performance," said a rep. "From his true love Harlow Knight (Wolfe) and ex-partner/rival Brooke Michaels (James) to corrupt detective Matteo Bennett (Steele) and an appearance from the psychotic Dr. Joseph Curwen (Pistol), everyone wants what he has."
Gamble elaborated on the feature's unique, sprawling storyline.
"Filmmaking is like painting," he said. "Every stroke or every color impacts another and you just build on that canvas and you get new ideas right up to the last stroke. I’m trying to use the camera to get into people’s heads. I use camera techniques a lot to articulate character. That is what art is about. Art is about reproducing and recreating what you feel. My background as an actor involves the same choices, whether it’s choosing roles or writing scripts."
Braun, who also appears in a non-sex role as mob boss Dino Moretti, enthused about Gamble's writing.
"I’ve often done small cameos in my movies just for giggles," he said. "But this was different. Seth constructed an intricate plot stretching across a cinematic universe, and wrote some very intense dialogue, and as much as I tried to convince him otherwise, he was adamant that I had to be the one playing this role. I’m not an actor and had plenty on my plate as a producer. I would have turned down anybody else, but I just couldn’t say no to him."
The first scene from "Reckless" will premiere May 26 on Wicked.
