James Franco fine-tunes his kinky image today with the trailer debut for Kink, his most recent completed film project that takes you behind-the-scenes at San Francisco’s Armory, home of Kink.com, the largest BDSM porn empire on Earth.
The film’s description reads:
Director Christina Voros and producer James Franco pull back the curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internet’s largest producer of BDSM content. In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.com’s directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual. They aim to demystify the BDSM lifestyle, and to serve as an example and an educational resource for the BDSM community.
In kink, we discover not only a fascinating and often misunderstood subculture, but also, in a career far from the mainstream, a group of intelligent, charismatic, and driven people who really, truly love what they do.
The film’s original release at Sundance last year followed James’ 2013 film Interior: Leather Bar, which was both applauded and denounced by critics for including explicit sexual imagery. Check out the new trailer for Kink below, which includes glimpses of gay porn fave (yes, that Speedo dude) Jessie Colter.
And just in case the words “gay porn,” “kink” and “BDSM” weren’t clue enough, the trailer does not contain nudity but may be considered NSFW by some:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Last year, additional footage was released ahead of the film’s Sundance premiere. Check that out below:

Interior Leather bar was a messy pile of shit.
Kink was better, Nothing amazing about this documentary as far as style or direction. It was pretty straight forward and maybe a tad bit boring. Having watched some of kink.com videos, i wasn’t gasping at the S&M and bondage stuff. It was more like a commercial for kink, because they didn’t address any of the allegations some models have accused the company of (no workers comp for injuries sustained while filming, male models having bad reactions to Trimix, the protests against prison rape movies, Firing webcam models for unionizing for better pay) I’m all for showing the normalcy of someone who enjoys BDSM, and the production of this type of porn that is highly desired, but that’s the only stance they took, all positive. Like i said, it made for a boring documentary.

What a surprise – ANOTHER crappy project from James Franco that includes no black people. He shows his true colors with his casting decisions.

James Franco is a pretentious hack who’s decided to hang his tired hat on kinky gay subculture. Interior Leather Bar was a mess and if any of those actors were hoping for mainstream careers they can kiss those goodbye,
