We don’t normally cover movies on NiceGirlsTV, but when our favorite TV actors show up on the big silver screen, we sit up and take notice. This is part 1 in a series where we will take a look at the films, both upcoming, now playing and past, in which we can find actors, writers, directors and producers from television. Enjoy!
Elektra Luxx
Carla Gugino is "Elektra Luxx"
From Samuel Goldwyn Films and Destination Films comes this comedy by writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez (Women In Trouble, Rise: Blood Hunter, Snakes on a Plane). The film stars Carla Gugino (“Californication“, “Entourage“) with an impressive supporting cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, (500) Days of Summer), Emmanuelle Chriqui (“Entourage”), Adrianne Palicki (“Friday Night Lights”), Timothy Olyphant (“Justified“), Justin Kirk (“Weeds”), Vincent Kartheiser (“Mad Men”), Marley Shelton (Grindhouse, the upcoming Scream 4), Malin Akerman (Happythankyoumoreplease, Watchmen), and features original music by Robyn Hitchcock.
Recently retired from the adult film industry, superstar Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino) is pregnant with the child of late rock star Nick Chapel. She is trying to make ends meet by teaching a community college sex education class aimed at housewives when a figure from her past, flight attendant Cora (Marley Shelton), approaches her with a proposition. In exchange for the (stolen) lyrics to Nick Chapel’s last record, all of which is about Elektra, Cora needs Elektra to seduce her fiancée. Elektra reluctantly agrees to do this favor, setting in motion a series of hilarious events which will see her come face to face with detectives, sex bloggers, emotionally unstable neighbors and the Virgin Mary herself as she wrestles with the prospect of motherhood and tries to become a person of substance.
