"Ugly Betty" Gay Porn Satire - Lucas' "The Intern"

A few months ago I started writing a gay porn script based on "Ugly Betty" that I was going to pitch to Falcon and call it "Ugly Buddy". When you're juggling 10 plates of things you HAVE to do, there's not much time left over to spend on speculative ideas. (I didn't want to spend a lot of time writing something that could easily get nixed.)

Fast forward to a few weeks ago and the press releases from Lucas Entertainment talked about their plans to write a similar script, but combining "Ugly Betty" with "Devil Wears Prada". Both are surefire gay camp classics with similar themes, so one or the other was a natural to end up with a gay porn version. Low and behold, Lucas exclusive Ben Andrews himself wrote the script, pitched it, named it "The Intern", and the studio moved ahead with it. And here I am with two pages of scribbles, a head full of plot twists, and an idea that is now worthless.

It's just one more reminder to myself that I need to create my own movies, develop my own ideas and quit spending so much time promoting other people's movies and websites.

But back to "The Intern", as a GayVN judge and porn movie reviewer, my only joy in that role is when I get to review porn comedies. I like how the PR for the movie makes the distinction that it is an "intentional" comedy. Lord knows there is so much crap put out in gay porn, I get plenty of UN-intentional laughs!

Lucas' PR guy sent this picture out and said this about his boss, the guy everyone loves to hate, "Guys, I couldn't resist.... After one last 'dream sequence' dialogue scene yesterday between Ben Andrews and Michael Lucas that went out with a cream pie-filled bang, filming on The Intern is officially a wrap. Everyone in the office stopped what they were doing to watch that scene. I think some of us enjoyed it a lot more than we should have..."

More details after the jump.

Going on coffee runs, copying documents, answering phones, typing emails... and stocking up on lube? When you're an intern at a gay adult entertainment company, it's all in a day's work. Lucas Entertainment exclusive Ben Andrews stars in the sex comedy "The Intern," where Botox-injecting bosses (Michael Lucas), sassy assistants (new Lucas exclusive Christian Cruz), and beefy delivery men (Matt Cole) abound. "Ugly" Benny maneuvers his way through the wacky, sexy offices of Trojan Studios, but his co-workers soon discover he may have a "bigger" talent in his pants. Also starring Lucas exclusives Jonathan Vargas and Ray Star, Derrick Hanson, Jason Ridge, Jimmy, and Zack Randall. Written and Directed by Tony Dimarco.
