 VCA to Remake Jim Holliday Classic
- Adult DVD

VCA Pictures is bringing back the Jim Holliday classic, Eye Candy, with an all-new
version starring Cindy Crawford. “In a way, we’re paying tribute to Jim and
his work,” said Wit Maverick, a longtime friend and colleague of the late director
who is VCA’s director of production.
The two-disc set includes the original Eye Candy on DVD. The new version is an
interpretation of the classic 1998 title, but with an updated theme featuring many of
Holliday’s original ideas, Maverick said. “He had a one-of-a-kind sensibility. He had a really uncanny
grasp of what the consumer wanted to see.”
The title or what Maverick called the
“reimagined” version of Eye Candy, is part of VCA’s effort to pay
homage to Holliday who died in 2004. The new title was spurred after the company
discovered files belonging to Holliday outlining his plans for future movies and
unfinished projects.
“Some of Jim’s files were
clearly distinguished for future projects that he as unable to get to," Maverick
said. "The treasure trove included many handwritten notes on whatever he could find
when an idea struck – from gum wrappers to napkins to notations on margins."
As it is, Eye Candy is just the
first of what could be a number of Holliday titles VCA hopes to make in homage to the
industry visionary.
Keeping with Holliday’s penchant
for using a slew of hotties, the new Eye Candy also features Jenna Presley,
Francezca Valentina, Valerie Herrera, Jesse Summers, Cali Cassidy, Chloe Morgan and Dale
Jordan.
“Cindy Crawford was totally
outrageous in this movie and she actually worked with Jim Holliday early in her career,”
Maverick said.
“Jenna Presley also turned in a
really terrific performance, but that’s what Jenna does. But all the girls were
great.”
Known for using nasty cheerleaders,
sorority girls and slutty nurses, Holliday made his mark with a series of titles featuring
hardcore sex with hot, young starlets.
“He was great at making hot,
hardcore porn,” Maverick added.
