Porn star Sasha Grey, the
2008 Adult Video Network female performer of the year and star
of more than 80 porn films, is set to star in the Canadian
low-budget horror film "Smash Cut."
Grey will play a TV news personality who goes undercover as
an actress in a horror film to discover the killer of her older
sister, a stripper.
"Smash Cut" director Lee Demarbre insists his indie movie
has no nudity or sex, and Grey will remain fully clothed
throughout.
"The only penetration is by knives and axes," he said of
the slasher pic, a production of Ottawa-based Zed Filmworks.
Grey will co-star with B-movie legends David Hess ("Last
House on the Left"), Michael Berryman ("The Hills Have Eyes"),
Ray Sager ("The Wizard of Gore") and director-turned-actor
Herschell Gordon Lewis ("Blood Feast," "2000 Maniacs").
Demarbre and "Smash Cut" producer Rob Menzies hope to
release the film on the festival circuit ahead of a theatrical
run in 2009.
