Production has wrapped on TomCat Films’ new sci-fi comedy Aliens vs. Titanic, starring former porn star and Charlie Sheen penis pump Bree Olson. Also appearing in the flick is new XXX star Layla Price. Her role is described as a cameo, but something tells us she could be the Cameron Diaz to Olson’s Julia Roberts.
Price tells AVN:
I have a cameo alongside Bree Olson. I can’t give too many details about the movie, but if you like any of the independent horror films mixed with some comedy, you will absolutely love this one and you will want to watch it over and over again!

No word on what character Layla plays, but we hope she survives long enough to make it to a nude decontamination scene.
