VCA Pictures, Eon McKai Part Ways

HOLLYWOOD — VCA Pictures and rising director Eon McKai have parted ways, despite the recent success of “Neu Wave Hookers,” which has climbed the DVD sales charts and brought new attention to the alt-porn genre.

The Larry Flynt-owned company and McKai, who directed the movie for the company, have been involved in contract negotiations that would have provided the young director with one of the best deals in the adult movie business, according to Drew Rosenfeld, creative director for Larry Flynt Publications.

However, as “Neu Wave Hookers” continued to garner early sales and attain a higher charting position, those negotiations became more labored. Company executives ultimately decided to terminate the talks.

“Anytime a director has a certain buzz about him and occupies the top spot on the sales chart, it provides them with extra incentive to strive for more than what might be practical from a company standpoint,” Rosenfeld said. “We made the difficult decision to end talks and are saying goodbye to Eon McKai.”

VCA will continue to promote “Neu Wave Hookers” using a variety of methods, including online contests with Internet companies such as the new offering through AdultDVDEmpire.

“We are very excited about the performance of ‘Neu Wave Hookers’ and this title will be strong for many months to come,” VCA Vice President Peter Reynolds added.
