Sasha Grey to star in THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE

http://www.joblo.com/porn-chick-goes-legit

Steven Soderbergh, who has always been known to cast untrained actors in his films, has cast porn star Sasha Grey to star in his next film THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. The film will star Grey as a high-priced call girl who commands big money to act as a girlfriend to her wealthy clientele. Grey began working in the porno business at the age of 18 and while filming her very first scene, shocked a co-star by asking to be punched in the stomach while she performed oral sex (WOW). Grey has gone on to win the Best Three Way Sex Scene, Best Group Scene and Female Performer of the Year at the AVN awards. Unlike most porn stars she mentions Jean-Luc Godard and David Bowie and her biggest influences. GIRLFRIEND was written by ROUNDERS and OCEAN'S 13 writers Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Soderbergh is currently filming the indie flick in New York City and will be released next year by Magnolia Pictures.
 
wow. this may be the fist time ever that someone really did go from porn-star to mainstream actress. (sorry, Jenna. Howard Sterns Private Part's doesn't count.)
 
yep, talk about backdoor to hollywood...still, it was only a matter of time. look at that cunt paris hilton and the other shameless lot with their crap home porno...at least sasha does it for real and does crazy stuff like shit golf balls into other girls' mouths (anal acrobats incase your wondering) ... plus she seems quite bright and would also have no qualms fucking her way to the top of the hollywood ladder either im sure...plus, its worth mentioning that Rocco has starred in a film, it was an indie flick too called anatomy of hell, he gets his cock out in it and porks some hairy art house actress, its a fucking depressing film but rocco is actually very good in it...
 
Sasha Grey seems like a deep, complicated and intelligent person. Much more so than your average porn chick anyway. I'm not suprised that she's getting "mainstream" work. I also wouldn't be shocked if she turns out to be a really convincing actress. I know I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.
 
I wonder who's casting couch Sasha had to audition for?
 
How comes Sasha Grey has become so famous all of a sudden? Seems like every mainstream director has been trying to cast her in something.


What ever happened to the good old days when porn stars, stuck to fucking and let actors act............:sigh:........those were the days.....

I don't think this is the first time, I can't remember who it was but I think there is someone before her.

Sasha is great, one of my favorites and I think she'll go a long way. She is not your typical porn actress. :glugglug:

Traci Lords? She became a bit of a b-movie type star I believe right?

Agreed. I don't know much about her, but she seems to be very intelligent and interesting.
 
I can't wait until a adult entertainer plays something other than a role where they play somebody from the prostitution/stripper/porn industry in a large mainstream production. :1orglaugh

Mrs Grey is in a difficult position. If she gives a great performance, then it's because she *is* the role, everyday - in the adult industry. Therefore, it's no great thing. If she's not great, then it's because she's a porn star. It only reinforces the idea that porn stars cannot act.

I'm 85% sure that Mrs. Grey was hired because porn stars can be paid less than even B-movie actresses for nonadult movies. Still, accepting a big role in a Soderbergh movies will place her in front of casting director's eyes.

Regarding Lords, she cannot go between porn and nonadult, so, in my opinion, should not count. In that sense, Mrs Grey *could* blaze trails.
 
yeah, Lords to an extent, but like HL, I wouldn't consider her to be a mainstream actress. Soderbergh is a pretty well known and respected name in film.
