Reporters for the CBS News Sunday Morning Show were so impressed with the trailer for Michael Ninn’s 2008 feature The Four, that CBS Sunday Morning Producer, David Rothman, requested Ninn’s publicity team, Black and Blue Media send the trailer to New York via Fed-Ex overnight delivery for national broadcast on Sunday, January 20, 2008.
“My Ninn Worx editors put together an incredible clip for the Adult Entertainment Expo. It shows the depth of the story, and the technical aspects in the computer animation, while highlighting the acting talents of our contract players, Brea Bennett, Renee Perez, Cassidey, Jana Jordan and Nikki Kane. The comment we heard the most often during the Expo, was that it was a really hot trailer, even though there wasn’t so much as a kiss in the entire thing. CBS News Sunday took note of that, as it made it a very friendly piece for their national audience,” said director Michael Ninn.
Ninn Worx Production Manager, Lorraine Sisco, isn’t surprised that the mainstream media is requesting footage on the title, which is slated for a June 2008 release. “‘This feature is perfect for a general release. Everything about The Four is worthy of theatrical presentation, and the creative team is incorporating that into our promotion and marketing of Michael’s feature.”
“We are not doing a parody or homage to anyone else that has covered the Battle of Thermopylae, with this movie. The Four is a new story entirely. We wrote an adventure based on a ‘what if’ fantasy. . . what would happen after these four Spartan women lost their men in that legendary battle and decided to avenge those guys. If there is one thing I’ve learned in my life, it is that you don’t piss off a woman. The Four is a visual testament to that idea, wrapped in a familiar epic saga,” Ninn notes.
