ARTICLE ABOUT ORGAZMO
For studio executives heading to the Toronto Film Festival this week, one of the hottest tickets is Saturday's midnight screening of "Orgazmo."
The picture focuses on a "nice wholesome religious guy who ends up acting in the porno industry," according to 27-year-old Trey Parker, who wrote, directed and stars in the comedy.
Parker recently expanded his irreverent animated short "The Spirit of Christmas" into the Comedy Central series "South Park." Just three weeks into its run, "South Park" is one of the highest-rated shows ever on the cable network.
While no distributors have seen it yet, "Orgazmo" has generated considerable buzz based on the filmmaker's brief filmography.
Parker first garnered attention in Hollywood for his film school project, "Cannibal the Musical." But things really took off last year after bootleg copies of "The Spirit of Christmas" -- in which Jesus and Santa get into a bloody kung-fu fight -- started making the rounds.
On the strength of that short, Parker landed a gig directing the likes of Steven Spielberg, Demi Moore and Sylvester Stallone in a tongue-in-cheek in-house promotional video for Universal Studios.
Parker is joined in the cast by "some of my friends and a whole lot of porn stars," but noted that the film has absolutely no nudity. "People will either appreciate that or be really pissed off."
