The Belgian Oscar nominated director Robin Pront (‘D’Ardennen’ – 2015) will direct the movie what is called ‘Zillion’, which is based on the legendary discotheek in Antwerp and on Dennis Black Magic his life.
The nightclub made all the headlines with scandals in the Belgian news because the owner of the nightclub, Frank Verstraeten, asked Dennis Black Magic to run his VIP room where only celebrities, fashion models, musicians and politicians were allowed to enter.
Dennis Black Magic became in Belgium a celebrity of his own and has reached the status of a legend and porn icon today, known by 7 million people in his country.
The movie is also the most expensive Belgian cinema movie ever with a budget from 5,6 million Euros.
Due to the Corona crisis the movie which was originally shot last year will start this year in june and will have his movie premiere in 2022.
Dennis will be played by the populair mainstream actor Matteo Simoni, also known from TV series and movies on NetFlix.
‘The greatest honor I can get is that a great talented and famous actor such as Matteo Simoni will play me in a theater movie based on my crazy life as a porndirector. Besides Mr. Larry Flynt I am the only porn director who gets a movie in his country. That I call respect for my fight to make porn acceptable since 1995. I hope other countries will follow.’
