Wicked’s JESSICA DRAKE Goes To Extremes In The Year’s Best Film, THE COLLECTOR

LOS ANGELES ” Brad Armstrong’s shot-on-film fantasia The Collector continues to fly off store shelves in record numbers, buoyed by rave reviews every bit as compelling as the DVD’s limited edition “shadowbox” packaging.

Described by AVN’s Heidi Pike-Johnson in her AVN Editor’s Choice review as a “completely timeless, captivating, exquisite, and unique film,” The Collector features Mike Horner as Malcolm, a wealthy art collector who decides to “collect” the long-admired-from-a-distance object of his fantasy, assistant curator ” and Wicked Pictures contract star ” jessica drake.

As the review is quick to point out, “drake has never looked so lovely, and her sex scenes are very, very good. She pushes herself further, sexually, than her fans have ever seen.” So far, in fact, that jessica’s performance garnered not only a Best Actress pre-nom but an additional three nods for her intense erotic performances, leaving the film with twelve pre-noms in total, including an overall nod for Best Film.

A busy woman with dozens of projects happening at any given time, jessica has gone from appearing live on Los Angeles radio (97.1 KLSX) and Baltimore TV (WBAL, the local NBC news affiliate) to multiple public event signings recently to promote her Wicked Pictures projects, including the latest products in her Wicked Essensual Elements toy line. And just what does she do for a day off? Shoot an exclusive layout in Malibu for acclaimed French art photographer Titouan Lamazou, of course!

So make this your time to discover one of the great female performers in adult entertainment. The film begins as the story of Malcolm and jessica but truly comes to life as the Wicked Girl acts out her inner thoughts, schemes, struggles — and even sympathies — on celluloid.

Thanks to her, The Collector becomes not the story of the collector, but of the collected.
