Ninnworx’ “The Four” Is Excellent Xerxoff Material

One of the complaints about "300" was that it had lots for gay men and 14-year-olds to love but it did not cater to the straight male viewer with enough female eye candy. If the trailer for Ninnworx' "The Four" can be believed, this movie has something for every orientation in your household.

See some snaps after the gap.

"The Four" are Ninnworx' quartet of contract stars: Renee Perez, Brea Bennett (not Brea Lynn as I'd previously written), Cassidey, and Nikki Kane. They play against Marco Banderas as Xerxes in what appears to be a "Mists of Avalon"-style sequel/porn reimagining of "300," complete with some very impressive recreations of that slow down/speed up editing trick "300" popularized.

Banderas is oiled and toothy as Xerxes, and his one-ethnicity-fits-all Spanish accent lends him an air of foreign menace. What the girls are doing we don't know, but sticking to a bare-bones comic book plot is probably a good idea for Ninn, whose superior artistic sensibilities far outstripped the plot points (ghostly spousal abuse, death of a child) of his recent features.

We're looking forward to "The Four," scheduled for release either this spring or this summer, depending on what you read, as it will be the centerpiece of that sexy Solstice party we want to throw with the women of Jezebel.
