"I'm more excited about my career now than when I signed with Hustler," she told XBIZ. "I'm having a lot of fun."
Nine is pursuing adult work and contract stardom with other studios, including brand-new adult company Pink Lotus Entertainment, which has cast Nine in their upcoming spoof of "The O.C." called "The HO.C." Nine will be playing a parody of the character Summer. She shoots on Friday.
Filmmakers Andreas Viola and Vincenzo Piano came from mainstream entertainment to start Pink Lotus Entertainment. Viola came from feature films, Piano from music videos.
The two entrepreneurs met Nine at the Adult Entertainment Expo, and they told XBIZ that as soon as they met her, they knew they wanted to work with her.
"She's the face of the future," Viola said. "If there's one thing Larry Flynt has, it's a good eye. It's unfortunate things didn't work out for her at Hustler, but maybe she's too hot for Hustler to handle."
The cast of "The HO.C." includes Nine, Brooke Banner, Elena Rivera, Darryl Hannah, Hollie Stevens, Riki White, Lana Davis, Herschel Savage, Alan Stafford and Christian Badcock.
Viola and Piano said that because their company is so new, they're not considering anyone for contract stardom — yet.
"We're excited about Nikki Nine," Piano said. "We come from an entertainment-based world, and we see this as an opportunity to work with a fresh talent. Our interest in Nikki definitely extends beyond 'The HO.C.'"
Pink Lotus Entertainment's website will be located at PinkLotusEnt.com. They're also promoting "The HO.C." through a MySpace page.
