Zalman King’s 'Pleasure or Pain' Comes to DVD

LAS VEGAS — Premiere Magazine once called Zalman King "the high priest of erotic film-making" for directing and producing scintillating projects like “Two Moon Junction,” “Nine ½ Weeks,” “Wild Orchid” and “The Red Shoe Diaries”.

In 2012, he passed after making his last opus, “Pleasure or Pain”, which had multiple exclusive screenings on Cinemax last month and is now available on DVD from distributor Kino Lorber.

The film is currently available for pre-order for $26.95 on Amazon and streets next week. For ordering info, click here.

In “Pleasure or Pain,” fetish darling Kayla-Jane Danger (under the name Kayla-Jane) stars alongside Malena Morgan, Christos Vasilopoulos and Elle Alexandra in the erotic drama about a beautiful, young designer lured into a torrid and intense affair with a charismatic and wealthy real estate developer.

“Many people missed the Cinemax screening last month, so I’m pleased that the movie is now on DVD and more people will be able to see it,” Danger said. “Working with Zalman was a dream come true and I’m very proud of my performance in the film. I hope all of Zalman’s fans and mine will buy it on DVD.”

Last month Danger discussed her experience working with King in an exclusive XBIZ Q&A. Check it out here.

Danger also wrote an adult novel inspired by King’s screenplay that debuted last year on Amazon as an eBook under her nom-de-plume, Kayla Jane.
