Stoya Goes Kung Fu In New Short Film

We've always thought Stoya was deadly—or at least deadly sexy—so it seems fitting that she's been cast as Kamikaze SheGun 5000, the world's baddest ninja, in the martial arts short "Kingpin of Pain."

Alas, the film will not becoming to a theater near you—unless you happen to be in Philadelphia, where it screens at the Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Festival this Monday, May 11th. (For the curious: we've been told the 48 Hour Film project "is a wild and sleepless weekend in which teams of masochistic film makers write, shoot, edit and score a short movie - in just 48 hours.")

But what, you ask, is the film about? Why, a tournament of warriors fighting over a sword of immortal power—with Stoya, the reigning (evil) champion. Sounds interesting, if you ask us.

"Kingpin of Pain" premieres 9:00 pm Monday May 11, 2009 at The International House; 3701 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, Pa. We may just have to make our way down to Philly to see it.
