California’s colourful election to choose a new governor, won in early October by Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, is taking a fresh twist as the contest is turned into a porn movie.
One of the candidates in the race, adult actress Mary Carey, is poised to begin shooting a sexy behind-the-scenes view of the campaign.
The movie will co-star fellow hopefuls “Ernie Gropenegger” and the state’s lieutenant governor “Spooge Cruztamante”.
The characters’ names are eerily reminiscent of those of Schwarzenegger – accused during his campaign of groping up to 16 women – and California’s current deputy governor, Cruz Bustamante.
“It’s kind of like satirical,” said Mark Kulkis, president of Kickass Pictures which is producing the film.
“Our attorney told us to use different names from those of the real candidates, but I guess it’s pretty obvious.
“I think that Mr Bustamante and Mr Schwarzenegger will take it in the fun spirit in which it’s intended because we’re not being mean-spirited at all with this.”
Carey, 23, will play herself in the movie.
The two-hour picture will co-star porn star Ron Jeremy as Spooge Cruztamante and muscle-bound X-rated actor Lee Stone as Ernie Gropenegger.
