IFC Midnight has released new photos from its hookers-in-peril thriller X, starring “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” sexpot Viva Bianca and pretty 20-year-old up-and-comer Hanna Mangan-Lawrence. The film hits selected theaters for a limited run this week, but will be available nationwide on-demand on April 13.

Directed by Jon Hewitt and set in Sydney, Australia, X stars Bianca as a burnt-out prostitute who teams up with a rookie street walker—played by Lawrence—to do one last big trick. Things go terribly wrong and the girls must run for their lives, navigating through the city’s sleazy underbelly.

Bianca is best known for her turn as Commander Legatus Claudius Glaber’s oft-nude wife Iliythia on Starz’s hit swords-and-sandals series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Lawrence has yet to make a name for herself in the States, but her full-frontal nude scene in X just might change that.

It may be awhile before we get to see sexy “30 Rock” star Katrina Bowden strut her stuff in director Eli Craig’s hilarious hillbilly-horror-comedy Tucker and Dale VS. Evil. The film, which premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, has yet to be released in the States.

Fortunately, the dapper dudes at Esquire have chosen to spotlight Bowden in their new feature “Me in My Place.” I’m no artist, but it appears that the concept behind the shoot was to capture the 22-year-old stunner being totally natural in her home—while modeling a week’s worth of provocative underwear.
