Rory Culkin and Paris Jackson to lead director Adam Sigal’s 1990s softcore porn comedy Skinemax

Lower the lights, close the curtains, and leave one headphone halfway off your ear to detect outside noise because Rory Culkin (Lords of Chaos, Scream 4, The Good Son) and Paris Jackson (Gringo, Habit, American Horror Stories) will lead the 1990s-set softcore porn comedy Skinemax. The project comes from Adam Sigal (Sargasso, Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose), who directs Skinemax from a script he wrote. Production for Skinemax recently wrapped in Budapest, with the film sounding like it could deliver some blush-worthy laughs.

Skinemax focuses on the softcore porn industry in 1990. You know, the decade when adult film icons like Silvia Saint, Asia Carerra, Peter North, and Jack Napier were the kings and queens of fictitious bedroom gymnastics, and adolescents prayed for scrambled channels to display even a single private part long enough to feel as if they’d won the porn lottery. Yeah, that magical time. The film follows Morgan Sands (Culkin), a failing indie film director, and his unlikely friendship with Jessie Hudson (Jackson), a popular adult film star.

In addition to Rory Culkin, brother to Macaulay and Kieran Culkin, and Paris Jackson, the second child and only daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, Skinemax stars Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Willard), Oliver Trevena (Plane), Will Peltz (Unfriended, The Collection), Mark Boone Jr. (Memento, The Game), GaTa (Anyone But You), Jared P-Smith (FBI), Vladislav Lapidus (Dead Man’s Wire, I’m Beginning to See the Light), Zac Coats (Crave), Sierra Nowak (Lucifer), and Maren Altman (If It Bleeds).

If you’re unfamiliar with Adam Sigal’s work, he wrote and directed the 2023 comedic mystery Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose. The film revolves around a paranormal psychologist named Dr. Nandor Fodor, who investigates a family’s claim of a talking animal. He uncovers a mysterious web of hidden motives, and soon, everyone becomes a suspect in his relentless pursuit of the truth. The delightfully off-kilter film also features Minnie Driver, Christopher Lloyd, Tim Downie, Gary Beadle, Paul Kaye, Jessica Balmer, and Ruth Connell.
