Marc MacNamara , a writer, director and all around nice guy just made an announcement about Lucas Entertainment‘s big-budget movie AWAKE on Lucas Blog. You can read the press release below.
I was very lucky to be invited to Mykonos, spent a week on the set and witnessed how Lucas team shot this whole movie 🙂 I will share more behind the scenes pictures and videos from Awake in coming weeks. The first scene will be released on September 14th, LUCASENTERTAINMENT.COM.
Lucas Entertainment, the leader in gay porn epics, is proud to announce it has wrapped production on its big-budget and much-anticipated blockbuster “AWAKE”. Shot entirely on location in Mykonos, Greece the film ushers in a new level of sex and action combined with a psychological head game that will have your mind and body at the mercy of temptation.
The story follows troubled couple Jessy Ares and Jonathan Agassi as infidelity has made their relationship numb. The men escape to the Mediterranean island and try to regain emotions for each other but as soon as they arrive, a car accident leaves Jonathan in the hospital. Jessy meets local Mitchell Rock and they explore the island as Jessy is released into sexual freedom. Jessy uses Mitchell as a mirror to find out who he has become now that he is finally alone without Jonathan. But guilt and temptation start to take over reality and Jessy begins to spin into a dark illusion. It’s man against himself as he tries to escape but he has become his own game. For Jessy, the beautiful disaster begins to rise as seduction and madness collide when he opens his eyes, AWAKE.
Alongside Ares, Rock and Agassi, Awake features performances by Alex Marte, Edji Da Silva, Mathew Mason, Trenton Ducati and Adam Killian.
“Coming off of the great success that The Last Day had, I wanted to do something completely different. I didn’t want to tell another story where people were killing each other or fighting for their lives. I wanted a clean shower from the blood baths that are going on in porn movies. The Last Day explored man against the world, man against maniac. In Awake I wanted to look inward to a place we all could relate to: man against himself, “ says writer and director Marc MacNamara. “As it turns out this reflection into ourselves can get quite intense but if we open your eyes, we begin to feel everything. As men we can journey to another side of ourselves to uncover a heightened illusion of sex and passion we never knew.”
“AWAKE has been my biggest challenge in filming porn, so far,” says star Jessy Ares. “At once, all of my abilities had been tested in brand new water. It became my most exciting porn experience and the fact that two of my songs ended up in the movie, ON TOP OF IT just makes me want to scream!! YYEESSSSS!!”
“The cast and crew were pushed to our limits on this one, literally as many scenes took place on cliff’s edges,” says production manager Chris Crisco. “We shot on motorbikes, in abandoned lighthouses, a car accident downtown, in the hospital and every square inch of Mykonos in between. Not only did we come out with breathtaking results but the story and sex will amaze you.”
Part 1 of AWAKE will be released to members of LucasEntertainment.com starting September 14th. A behind-the-scenes production blog will be featured on LucasBlog.com starting next week and will lead up to the DVD release on September 28th!

Wow, that synopsis is really intense! Does this concept really work in a medium focused on sex? If the production is truly effective with something so “high concept” it could be interesting. Or it could be mostly drivel.
Eddie says
Good for them. I rarelly watch a porn movie but when I do I don’t care much about location… The only thing that is important in porn to me is the performers ( their aspect ) and the sex ( in order to make me feel horny ). Light and camera work helps too. But location, plot, music, etc I left them to the ” real films ” , not porn. If they cared about it, good for them… It’s not necessary for me.
NotHappy says
More with the same cast of talent. Must be a small pool in NYC.
TECOJO says
I’M AGREE WITH YOU “NOTHAPPY”, THE SAME CAST FROM THE POWER OF LOVE, THANKS GOD THAT MICHAEL LUCAS GAVE VACATIONS TO RAFAEL ALENCAR, BECAUSE MR.ALENCAR APPEAR IN ALL LUCAS ENTERTAINMENT’S FILMS, BUT THE SAME SITUATION WITH JONATHAN AGASSI, RAFAEL CARRERAS AND OBVIOUS MICHAEL LUCAS, PLEASE MR. LUCAS GIVE TO YOUR CAST VARIATION.
ryandrake says
what is big budget in gay porn terms?
100k? 150k? 200k?
Does anyone know?
Always wanted to know how much these things costs, with ttravel, accommodation,staff, actors, amrketing, etc
Jean says
little tired to always see adam killian and agassi…
Dj says
Outdoor scenes suck on screen. The bright sunlight creates shadows and you end up seeing peneration shots that are half in light and half in the dark.
sxg says
Adam Killian in scrubs, hot!
But yes a lot of the same old same old cast, but so long as they keep it interesting and the sex is good I’m fine with that.
SuckItBaby says
Hot!
J says
Ooooooh YES please!!!!!
David says
@Ryandrake I’m guessing much lower than that. Lucas has always paid his models famously low pay.
Dale says
Why wasn’t Vito Gallo in this cast?
Marky says
All of the guys in this one are top notch.
Billy Blue says
I love sex scenes that take place in beautiful locations !!
RL32 says
guys look hot – i hope michael lucas is not in this one. that queen needs to retire!
Matias says
@Almatolmen, really? I need to see it first. It sounds better than majority of the stories on porn, but I am sure sex comes first.
BUT I like Lucas Ent. is trying to make differ kind of movies.
@ryandrake, me too. Good points. But I guess they are business secrets.
@David, it is a long way from US to Mykonos, expensive already to get everyone to the location.
@Billy Blue, agree, too many porn scenes done indoors in a low key motel bed room.
Ben says
I love that picture of Alex holding Jessy’s cock while they kiss.
manu says
Alex is a sex beast 😮 He’s about twice bigger than Jessy Ares!! Too hot . thanks for sharing it with us QMN , I hope they focus a lot on the big booty boys in this movie, they certainly have some fine ones, Alex is my favourite by far of course 😀
