Kylie Ireland and her partner Andy drove it up from Los Angeles.
Kylie said, "My production design team spent 2 months pre-production on the props and sets for this movie and we estimate that minimum 2 solid weeks were spent on the Landspeeder alone. Since they needed to have it be sturdy enough to have sex on, and because we had to transport it to the desert to shoot it, we had to make it really solid. It's completely handmade out of wood and weighs about 450 lbs. It took about 8 men to move it on and off the truck when we took it to the desert. But it is damn near a replica of the original and everyone who sees it is amazed. It was built by porn stars as well; me, Angel Vain, Brian StreetTeam and several others worked on it. It was used in the sex scene with Tom Byron as Obi-Wan Kenobi and a female Tusken Raider (Jennifer Dark). In fact I could get the Tusken Raider costume/props to go with it, (possibly a female stormtrooper - they have armor with boobs, bare midriff and thigh high boots - as well) maybe make it part of a display..."
Needless to say we needed a few volunteers to help move this art piece into the museum and they are still busy setting up the display.
But come on in and check it out!
That Kylie Ireland is one hell of a talented lady. Her set designs blow away many mainstream movies away on a much smaller budget. I'm sure that Landspeeder will become a huge focus point for the EHM.
ReplyDeleteWe hope so too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like we will have a big event to celebrate this new addition at the beginning of September to coincide with the Museum's 4th Birthday anniversary.
So stay tuned!!!!
