LOS ANGELES — Digital Playground has debuted Danny D’s new fantasy feature, “Clash of the Vikings.”

The title stars Amirah Adara, Catherine Knight, Xander Corvus, and Bilbo Shaggins.

“The sex appeal of maiden Anya (Knight) triggers a competition between Viking warriors Thora (Adara) and Ivar (Corvus),” the synopsis reveals. “Guided by the visions of the Seer, Ivar is convinced that Anya is the key to his destiny as Viking King. However, Thora disrupts Ivar’s plans by sparing one of his warriors, taking him under her wing, and rescuing Anya from captivity. Ivar rallies his clan for an epic battle to reclaim his future queen. As the dust settles, only one will emerge victorious, claiming the throne and Anya’s heart.”

Danny D enthused about the production.

“The whole project was fun to create — from pre-production to watching our warriors fight on set,” he said. “We had a blast making this production. As always, thanks to Digital Playground for trusting us with another epic project and thanks to the crew for digging deep.”

Adara praised her director and co-stars.

“I want to say a big thank you to Digital Playground, Danny D, and Liss for having me in this movie,” she said. “I’ve never shot anything like this before. I had to be crazy and powerful, which fits me perfectly. The styling and make-up were amazing, and the whole story was breathtaking — we had so much fun shooting it. I’m lucky to have such adorable co-performers like Catherine Knight, Xander Corvus, Dimitri, and Bilbo. They are fantastic, professional, and I couldn’t wish for better partners.”

Added Corvus, “This was the most fun I’ve had making a movie in years. Getting to do stage combat in a badass wardrobe is peak movie-making fun for me. The icing on the cake, of course, was working with Catherine and Amirah.”

Part one of “Clash of the Vikings” is streaming on Digital Playground.

NEW YORK — Taipei-based adult streaming platform SWAG.Live has launched its Fortune Cookie campaign in the U.S.

The six-month campaign features thousands of custom fortune cookies being distributed throughout major cities, in the bars of neighborhoods with large Mandarin-speaking populations. Each cookie comes with a message and a QR code; the code leads visitors to a landing page that establishes age and provides a virtual fortune before connecting them to the SWAG Live streaming community.

“Chinese is the third most-spoken language in the United States,” said SWAG Live Marketing Manager Henry Lin. “This is a huge market that is largely ignored by Western adult sites. We’re already the largest platform in Asia, but we’re expanding by reaching audiences that aren’t being recognized and served.”

The first scene premieres Sept. 10 on NakedSword.com and September 12 on ASGmax.com; the full title will be available on DVD and VOD on Sept 12.

PARIS — Dorcel has renewed performer/director Clara Mia’s contract as brand ambassador.

Mia began her Dorcel ambassadorship in 2022 and has since represented the brand at major international events.

“Clara embodies the studio’s ethos of refined sensuality and empowerment,” said a rep. “Her presence connects Dorcel to audiences, retailers, and distributors across multiple continents, ensuring that the company’s values of quality, creativity, and inclusivity resonate with fans around the globe. Her ability to bridge artistry with approachability has elevated the ambassador position into something more than a title — it is a true partnership in shaping the future of adult cinema.”

Mia recently starred in the Hervé Bodilis-helmed feature “Pigalle” and is featured in the upcoming Ricky Greenwood release, “Strip,” which drops in September, along with her next directorial release, “Close-Up.”

“It is a profound honor to continue serving as the ambassador of a brand that has defined charm, elegance, and sophistication for more than four decades,” said Mia. “When I first joined as an ambassador, I wanted to be a bridge between the brand’s history and the evolving desires of today’s global audience. Now, as both performer and director, I feel I am able to truly embody that balance.

“‘Say You Love Me’ was a personal dream realized,” she added. “It was a chance to reveal my creative voice and present a vision of sensuality rooted in authenticity, empathy, and passion. My goal is to create fantasies that speak not only to men but also deeply resonate with women — stories that celebrate desire while honoring emotion. I want to open doors for more female audiences to see themselves reflected in our narratives and to inspire other women to take the creative reins in this industry. This next chapter with Dorcel is not just an extension of my contract; it is an expansion of a shared vision for the future.”
