LOS ANGELES — Reigning and twice-crowned XBIZ Female Performer of the Year Emily Willis has been cast in the mainstream film “Divinity,” to be directed by Eddie Alcazar and executive produced by Steven Soderbergh.
News of Willis’ casting was first announced yesterday by Hollywood insider news site Deadline.
"I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of such a brilliant vision [from] Eddie Alcazar, and be amongst such an incredible cast," Willis enthused via Instagram last night. "You guys are not going to want to miss this."
“Divinity” will star Steven Dorff, Scott Bakula, Jason Genao, Moises Arias, Karrueche Tran, Mike O’Hearn and Bella Thorne.
Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs has been announced as music composer on the project.
According to Deadline, “Divinity” follows “otherworldly brothers (Genao, Arias) that are hellbent on stopping a mogul (Dorff) who is close to unraveling the secrets behind immortality.”
The film is also said to involve director Alcazar’s Metascope technique, combining stop-motion animation and live-action sequences.
“The technique was featured in his short film ‘The Vandal,’ a collaboration with Darren Aronofsky, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021,” Deadline noted.
Soderbergh and Alcazar previously collaborated on the 2018 sci-fi thriller “Perfect.”
Executive producer Soderbergh is no stranger to onboarding adult performers into mainstream Hollywood, having collaborated with Sasha Grey on the 2009 film “The Girlfriend Experience,” later spun into a TV series.
