LOS ANGELES - The last movie made by stripper-turned-celebrity Anna
Nicole Smith, a sci-fi comedy titled "Illegal Aliens," will be released
on DVD in May, its distributor said on Tuesday.
The film stars Smith, who died last week in Florida, as one of three
aliens who transform themselves into "super-hot babes and arrive to
protect the Earth from intergalactic forces of evil," according to press
materials from MTI Home Video, which will distribute the movie through
DVD outlets.
MTI spokesman Ed Baran described "Illegal Aliens," which is unrated, as a
low-budget, deliberately "high-camp" production in which Smith lampoons
her own ditsy sex-bomb image.
No release is planned for movie theaters, Baran said.
Filmmakers clearly had no Oscar ambitions for the 93-minute movie, which
was shot in September 2005 in Vermont, Los Angeles and New York.
A trailer, posted on the Web site of the production company, Edgewood
Studios (www.edgewoodstudios.com), shows Smith's character, Lucy,
shouting, "Nobody sticks a missile in Lucy's butt and gets away with it!"
In another scene, she appears tied up to a chair and laments, "Who do I
have to screw to get off this movie?"
Smith invested her own money in the project and even took part in
scripting her role. Her son, Daniel, who died in the Bahamas in September
at age 20, three days after Smith gave birth to her daughter, was
credited as an associate producer on the film, Baran said.
"A lot of people really want to make her out to be some idiot but I
really don't think that she was," Baran said. "She's poking fun at
herself within the film so I think it's pretty damn smart."
The former stripper and Playboy magazine centerfold died Thursday of
unknown causes while enmeshed in a paternity suit over her infant
daughter and a long-running dispute over the fortune left by an elderly
oil tycoon she married in 1994.
Smith, who was 39, previously starred in her own cable TV reality series,
"The Anna Nicole Smith Show." She appeared a handful of movies, beginning
in 1994 with "The Hudsucker Proxy" and the big-screen spoof "Naked Gun 33
1/3: The Final Insult."
Baran said the timing of distribution of Smith's last film was
coincidental to her death, with MTI having submitted it to retailers for
sale this coming spring about a week and a half before she died. Smith
had planned to take part in a publicity campaign for the film, he said.
