Vivid Begins Production on <I>Debbie</I> Sequels

Paul Thomas began production today on two new, big budget, Debbie Does Dallas films: Debbie Does Dallas: East-West and Debbie Does Dallas: Revenge.

The stories are based on the characters of the original 1978 film directed by Gerard Damiano. Vivid Girl Sunrise Adams will star in the title role of Debbie.

"Sunrise has an upbeat personality and she's very athletic - she was the first girl to play on the high school football team at her school. Not to mention that she's absolutely gorgeous - given all that, who better to play the role of a cheerleader," Ellie Reeve, Vivid's publicist, told AVN.com.

The titular character in the original series was from Texas, as is Adams.

Adams, who became one of the elite Vivid Girls last year, said it "is really an honor to be cast as 'Debbie' and to know that I’ll be part of the history of this amazing feature that had its original roots in Texas."

The films, which are being shot over a ten-day period, will be the first new Debbie Does Dallas movies produced in four years. The release date for Debbie Does Dallas: East-West is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2003.
