(VAN NUYS, CA) -- In an exciting announcement, Digital Playground's Samantha Lewis and Joone announced today that internationally renowned adult film sensation, Belladonna will star in ''Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge.'' The much-anticipated feature film is currently in production and slated for release in September 2008.

Joone, Digital Playground Founder and award-winning director states, ''Having such incredible talent as Belladonna star in 'Pirates II' confirms the magnitude of just how large this production is. We never would have agreed to anyone less than extraordinary and Belladonna is at the top of that list. The scene today with Belladonna and Jesse Jane set the level of what 'Pirates II' is going to be.''

Belladonna comments, ''I want everyone to know that Jesse Jane sets the standard for contract girls. She went above and beyond what most girls do and she gave me a run for my money. Everything together was so intense and having Joone's direction made it so much more intense. When Jesse said, 'you can do whatever you want to me,' it made my day. There are too many great moments in the scene to count... this couldn't have been a better day.''

Jesse Jane comments, ''You cannot fake what happened. It was a long day and it was such a build up, and what came with the build up was all this sexual tension. During this scene it was a half and half battle. Bella had control half of the time and I had to struggle to get it back. Bella is the first girl that literally made me struggle and is the first girl that has ever dominated me. It was on from the word go and Bella simply rocked me. She changed my world.''

Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground CEO remarks, ''Belladonna is by far one of the industry's most exciting, talented and accomplished performers. Having Belladonna attached to 'Pirates II' enhances the overall production value, complements the incredible star power, and gives Belladonna the opportunity to share another incredible film with her fans. 'Pirates II' will far surpass everyone's expectations.''

Digital Playground contract superstar Jesse Jane® returns as renowned pirate hunter and first-mate Jules. New additions to the ''Pirates II'' cast include Belladonna and Digital Playground contract stars: Shay Jordan(Tm), Stoya(Tm), Katsuni and Riley Steele(Tm).
