For anyone who follows the porn world, Raging Stallion’s filming of its big budget production has been much publicised. I want to note an earlier press release that gives an idea of the porn production budgets adn possible pornstar pay.

San Francisco-based Raging Stallion Studios and adult video-on-demand powerhouse NakedSword-AEBN today announced a major joint production venture to be shot this summer at an undisclosed location in Northern California. Entitled GRUNTS, the project is the most ambitious production undertaken in gay porn in recent years. Grunts is envisioned as an “army movie to end all army movies” and has an estimated budget of about $175,000 ($105,000 in model fees alone). Almost every hot star in the industry is cast in the two-week long shoot. Grunts will be released as three two-disc sets in January, March, and May of 2008.

With its cast of six exclusives and 14 non-exclusives, the $105k model fee averages to $5k per actor. Of course there are variations between exclusives and desirable actors versus newcomers.
