Raging Stallion’s Mirage: The World’s First Gay Porn HD-DVD
February 3rd, 2007
Earlier this month, the New York Times had an article about how the porn industry (and its stars) are worried about the transition to shooting in high-definition for the new HD-DVD format. (The NYTimes article requires membership, but you can click here for a free reprint.)
The gist of the article is that actresses in the industry are terrified of having their acne scars, stretch marks, and razor-burned pussies on display.
The gay industy may have similar concerns, but is moving ahead full steam. The first out of the gate with an HD-DVD will be Raging Stallions Studios. According to RSS owner/director Chris Ward, the studio will release Mirage, the 6-hour follow up to Arabesque (which I highly recommend) as a two-disc HD-DVD.
According to Chris Ward…
“Filming for Mirage took place in Hawaii, San Francisco, and in the deserts near the Mexican border. The movie stars the largest cast in RSS history and has a strong plot line that takes advantage of Raging Stallion’s new corporate airplane. A dramatic plane crash sequence is one of the film’s highlights. Jake Deckard, Steve Cruz, and Dirk Jager lead the cast of dark, swarthy men who evoke the image of an Arabian fantasy. Scenes are shot in the desert, in ancient Egyptian tombs, and on tropical beaches. Huessein, Raging Stallion’s exclusive model who headed the cast in the original Arabesque makes a return appearance as the leader of a band of tomb robbers in this “Indiana Jones meets hardcore porn” feature film.
Mirage is also one of the first releases to take advantage of the studio’s new reduced visibility condoms. Safe sex was used throughout the filming of the movie. “In a tightening DVD market, innovation is the key to our future,” Ward noted. “Our goal is to stay at the forefront of technology and film craft.”

This sounds like good news to me! Over the past two years, Raging Stallion has really diversified their line-up of men … lots of guys from all over the world, like Spain, France, Brazil, Turkey, and even Lebanon to name a few. I’ll give a link to Mirage as soon as it’s available on DVD.
