HBO eyes show on L.A. porn business

Staff report
HBO is working on a hour-long drama series about the porn business
that will use actors and adult performers.
The New York Post reported Thursday that "Entourage" and "Boardwalk
Empire" executive producers Mark Wahlberg and Steve Levinson are
working on the project with controversial writer James Frey who is
penning the pilot.
"The plot will focus on a giant video company under siege from
Internet competitors and a girl from the Midwest whose boyfriend
convinces her to move to Los Angeles to become a star," the Post
wrote.
"We're going to make a sprawling epic about the porn business in LA,"
Frey told the paper." We're going to tell the type of stories no one
else has told before, and go places no one has gone before."

And all the pornographers will magically morph into WASPs.

Ooooh, how "edgy"!

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

How very like a high-class Broadway play your suggestion is.

I don't think that HBO is the right venue for that. They seem to have
become watered down in comparison to Showtime and Starz.

"Porn Trek"?

Well-- I'm hoping this will be more sexually graphic than their late
night specials.

The king of skin of regular (non-adult) pay cable movie channels has
always been Cinemax. Maybe Showtime and Starz have upped their game
in the last decade, but I know back in the 90's I could watch the same
movie on Showtime and Cinemax and the Showtime version would be edited
or more edited.

those in film and theatre as well.

Congratulations, Newport, you just supplied my new sigquote. :)

I disagree. We must fiercely fight this trend, because this would
destroy the acting profession.
It must be possible for respectable people of good character, who,
even if they are not religious believers or fully chaste, would be
horrified at the thought of engaging in sexual intercourse or other
sex acts except with someone they personally care about... to become
successful actors and actresses.
This might cease to be true if a willingness to engage in on-screen
sex acts were to become the norm.
This is not to say that it would necessarily be a bad thing if this
were approached from the other direction, and hardcore movies started
to be made with better budgets, and plots of higher quality, and so
on.
