[UPDATE BELOW] The upcoming (and inaugural) NYC Porn Film Festival will feature works from names you know, names you don't know, names you claim to not know, and obviously James Franco. One of the other mainstreamers contributing is Miley Cyrus, who submitted the below video—called "Tongue Tied"—which debuted during her Bangerz tour. It's got, like, 2 of the 50 shades of grey.
Adult Magazine's Sarah Nicole Prickett previously commented on the two-minute piece, noting: "[It features] popular symbols of sex: the fishnets; the beauty mark made darker like Marilyn's; the black collar fit for a Bunny... like a kid's, her near-nudity is hardly erotic. She's just happier naked. Her poses are jokes, even that infamous tongue—stuck out—remains firmly in cheek."
We'll have a full preview of Pornhub's NYC Porn Film Festival, which will take place in Bushwick the weekend of February 27th, coming up later this week.
UPDATE: A spokesperson for Cyrus tells us, “Miley was proud to make a film with acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Jones. Neither she nor Quentin are participating in this ‘festival’ in any way.” The festival's website has now removed any mention of Cyrus.
According to the NY Post, the festival’s organizer Simon Leahy "lied when he said Cyrus had personally submitted the film... then misled the production company Cadence Films into granting permission to use it." If you can't trust porn film festival organizers, who can you trust?
