I heard at the East Coast Video Show that Private signed a deal with Michael Ninn to do some productions in the US. Should be an interesting combo.

(full story on the show with pics coming soon...)

I really love the stuff from Private but I have mixed feelings about them signing Ninn. No doubt he's very talented but sometimes his movies are too artsy-fartsy. Too much emphasis on storyline and not enough (hard)sex. This isn't what Private is all about.
Could be a strange combo.

Thanks Steph for news on Michael Ninn. I just thought Wicked Pictures is likely the better option for her

Big names are involved. But, is it good news?
I don't think so.
As a (former?) Private aficionado and collector I must say they couldn't choose someone as far from the Private style
as M. Ninn. Looks to me like they're trying hard to break
through in the North American market, giving to the vast and faceless crowd of "couples" what, apparently, couples are looking for: elegantly portrayed sex "with an edge".
For almost 40 years Private has represented a style, with their trademark smiling beauties, the luscious sets and the
undeniable talent of both the Milton's to always bet on the right horse, be it a well-known professional or a dark horse like Pierre Woodman.
If I want Anabolic, I buy Anabolic.
I want Andrew Blake, I'll rent Blake.
I don't need wannabes or ripoffs.
Now, when I think of Private, I see all the things that forced me to stop renting and buying videos in the early 90's. And, back then, only Private Magazine 1 could change my mind.

Which would you rather see - another Ninn production from the same studios, which would have given him the same budget and the same models to choose from, and he'd have come up with the same-old "altered frame rate" effects crap, OR, a new studio deal with likely a different budget, different locations, different models, all forcing him to try a new approach?

This is good news!

While not as hardcore as most of Private's stuff, I think that Ninn isn't that far away from some of Private's more refined directors, such as Antonio Adamo. For those that criticize his style, you don't have to look much further than Private's Pirate Video Deluxe line to see pretty much the same visual effects, editing, and music.

Personally, I find Private to be rather tiresome in most of their releases. They use so much anal and absurd couplings that it doesn't have the erotic value that it used to. Pretty girls, yes. But the chemistry and raw heat are by and large missing. There are a few exceptions, and overall they are a cut above the rest in terms of production value, but Private ceases to amaze me like they did in the 90's when they were far and away better than the crap churned out in the San Fernando Valley.

I think it shows Private's maturity for them to be diversifying their lines. It's nice to see that Private isn't only Pierre Woodman (not that I dislike his work, it's just that 75% of the catalog is done by him or in the same style.

Clearly stated that it was about MY likes and dislikes, not everybody's else.
Private didn't shop for big names directors back then, and, whenever they did, the directors used to stick to the Private formula and tradition, which are not, and never were, ANTONIO ADAMO or MICHAEL NINN.
You may like the new Private. It's one thing.
But if you say that Adamo is Private, then you don't know much about what Private has meant, for 36 years, to many and many porn fans.
Imagine if Evil Angel had hired Ninn instead of Private.
"I'm curious", ok. But you'd also wonder "What has he to do with EA?".
If you feel consistent and "seamless" for Private to hire Ninn, then maybe it's too late, the ship is already sinking, or sailing to waters that I don't find interesting anymore.
