PZP Productions (www.pzpweb.com) has reluctantly announced the cancellation of their much hyped and anticipated parody of the Abba Broadway show and movie, Mamma Mia. -- a casualty of the tanking economy, and other factors that are plaguing the Gay porn industry right now.

Peter told JRL exclusively...."As the budget kept growing and growing, and the economy kept tanking and tanking, it became very apparent to me that we could no longer afford to produce the movie the way I wanted to do it," said PZP's Peter Z Pan. "I had an option to do a cheapy version of it and slapping the title Pappa Mio [2008] on it; but I didnt want to pull one over on our wonderful fans whom have supported us all these years. It wouldnt have been the same funny script I had originally written."
Peter continued..."PZP will instead produce the first movie in the series of their new line "Twinks Finally 18." As Peter Z explains it, they will be a hybrid of hot twink sex, gonzo movies, bad reality shows, and the campy PZP films that fans have come to expect from the studio that brought you "The Da Vinci Load," BeTwinked, and the Grabby Award winning "Oliver Twink."
I asked Peter why this came to pass....."It just wasn't feasible for us a small independent studio to produce a big budget porn in this horrid economy, when other small studios are going under everyday," stated Peter Z. "We are all in a perilous predicament in the porn industry right now.
We can't just blame the economy either. Peter continued: The illegal file sharing sites and illegal Tube sites are hurting us all badly. They are a plague upon our industry -- and I don't care if I am trashed for saying that.
I mean, why should customers pay for our movies, when they can just download them illegally online?
I visit these tube sites everyday and find my content posted without permission. Yeah, they take the movies down after an email from my attorney -- but the damage has been done.
Now don't get me wrong, there are very responsible tube sites out there that are doing things right and legally -- like Xtube.com, Rockettube.com and the new Ogleme.com from Badpuppy, to name a few. Its the unscrupulous ones that are giving the good ones a bad name."
Peter went on to say, I just want to know what's going to happen when these sites run out of content to steal -- after they have put us all out of business.
Web surfers will be left with nothing but badly lit clips of Bubba in bumkfuck, Kansas you know, with the bad skin -- jacking off in front of his webcam, while his dog scratches his balls in the background."
PZP Productions vows to make bigger films like "BeTwinked" in the future; however, they plan to produce reasonably budgeted smaller films until things get better in the industry.
"If it sounds like I'm whining and bitching, that's because I am! Peter Z said in closing. We're all hurting in the industry right now, and many smaller companies will not be around by this time next year. A lot of them have too much pride to admit that; but as we all know, I have no shame.
I'll be dammed if PZP will be one of those companies. We're here for the duration -- but we MUST play smart to survive.
As I told a twinky model recently, who had the balls to demand a ludicrous amount of money from us after agreeing to do a film for the going rate in South Florida: this is not the same industry of a year ago. "I have to face the reality of the situation." Peter told JRL.
Twinks Finally 18 #1 will be filmed in October for a Valentines Day release through PZP Productions' exclusive distributor Marina Pacific Distribution.
A Special Edition of "Oliver Twink" will come out on Blu-ray in 2009. BoysOnTheWeb.Com -- the official PZP website -- continues to go stronger everyday with new visitors.
