Our buddy John Wildman, who works with all of the impressive talent at the Dallas International Film Festival, is in the process of putting together a new horror movie here in Dallas, which we’re anxiously awaiting to see. Bloody Disgusting got a nice scoop on John’s film STRIPPED, which is certainly worthy of note. It seems their latest casting announcement is of none other than Michelle Sinclair, known worldwide as adult film star and icon “Belladonna.” This will be her mainstream feature film debut, joining the previously announced Tiffany Shepis (THE VIOLENT KIND) and Samrat Chakrabarti. STRIPPED is a Wildworks Production being directed by John Wildman, which is said to follow the events surrounding a birthday outing with two brothers and a friend that turns into a horrific fight for survival after they become trapped in a house with a ‘family’ of malevolent women.

Produced by Jeffrey Allard (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), Adam Donaghey (LOVERS HATE), John Wildman and Justina Walford, STRIPPED is written by Walford and Wildman and will be Wildman’s feature film directorial debut. Sinclair (a.k.a. Belladonna) will play the role of ‘Ginger’ in the film, a relative newcomer to the household of women whose loyalties are dangerously ambiguous for all concerned. You may have seen Sinclair in James Gunn’s hilarious online series, PG PORN, and she’s also appeared in the Showtime reality series, FAMILY BUSINESS.
“We could not be more excited to have Michelle be a part of this project. She was someone that Justina and I had in mind as a ‘dream choice’ for this role from the moment we began thinking about casting. She has an innate openness and warmth that you can’t help but be drawn to. It will be a thrill to introduce her to a whole new audience and re-introduce her to Belladonna’s legion of loyal fans,” said director/producer Wildman.
Sinclair added, “Aiden and I are both fans of horror films and we thought the script was both exciting and twisted. We have been looking for the right mainstream project for me to do and after reading the script and hearing John and Justina’s ideas, we knew that Stripped would be a perfect fit for me.”
Along with Sinclair, Wildworks Productions also announced the casting of Farah White and Michael Guarnera in Stripped.
White most recently was seen in Todd Graff’s BANDSLAM with Vanessa Hudgens, and will appear on the big screen next in Jon Inwood’s EXTERMINATORS with Heather Graham, Jennifer Coolidge and Amber Heard and the FOX action/comedy series THE GOOD GUYS with Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford. White will play the role of ‘Lin’, the matriarch with a culinary bent within the household of malevolent women.
Guarnera will take on his first lead role in a feature film with the role of ‘Jacob’ in Stripped. One of a trio of young men out to celebrate his brother’s birthday, ‘Jacob’ discovers he holds the key to his own survival when they find themselves trapped in the house with the lethal family of women.
Commenting on the addition of White and Guarnera to the cast, Wildman added “The Dallas film community is rich with acting talent and we think Farah is the prize of the bunch. She and Tiffany are going to make an incredibly sexy and deadly combo on screen. And with Michael, we feel like we have found an actor that will deliver a classic leading man presence with a performance that will provide the heart to this film.”
John Wildman has always been good to us, and he’s been telling me about this film for a while. I’m very excited to see things coming together so nicely. We’ll keep you posted on STRIPPED, which begins shooting in Dallas this fall. Stay tuned for more details.
