In 1997, he launched his series "Casting X" (see below), which is now the biggest selling series in the X-rated category in the world.

In 1999, faced with a wave of "Gonzo" genre videos, Woodman began to produce and release his Superfuckers series for Private, which ran to 12 Chapters. At the end of the year, he received an invitation from Larry Flynt, owner of LFP, Inc. and a millionaire publisher of the magazine Hustler, the second largest adult magazine periodical in the US after Playboy. Hustler was on the verge of bankruptcy and Flynt knew he needed a video department to survive. He asked Woodman to create a series similar to Private and in 2000, Flynt signed a contract with Woodman for 5 million USD for five years. Woodman began Chapter 13 of Superfuckers for LFP. But unlike Berth Milton, Jr., owner of Private, Flynt spent little on advertising, relying instead solely on the Hustler name and word of mouth to sell products. This bothered Woodman, who made a few big budget movies, such as Brazilian Snake (2001) (520,000 USD), Brazilian Snake 2 (2002) and Manipulation (2004) (430,000 USD), but ultimately disappointed by the lack of promotion of the products, Woodman refused to sign a new contract for LFP in 2005.

In 2004, after playing himself in the big-screen Spanish film Yo Puta, alongside Denise Richards and Daryl Hannah, he did several photo-shoots for various fashion magazines, such as Vogue and Blast.

Woodman then launched a program affiliation on the Internet called "Spider-Cash," to distribute its films in the form of video sequences, after Berth Milton, head of Private, asked Woodman to return to work for him in 2005.

Woodman made a trilogy Sex City, a "porn-remake" that "borrows" much of the storyline of Frank Miller's Sin City, including the use of black-and-white photography, with splashes of color inserted throughout the film. Woodman's Sex City was filmed entirely in high definition, with a budget of 540,000 Euros. The first part was released in May 2006. After five weeks, the film became the best selling in the history of Private, even taking the lead in sales in the U.S. on June 5, 2006.

Nevertheless, Woodman announced in June 2006, his departure (for the second time) from Private Media Group, and the undertaking his own production and distribution company, Woodman Entertainment, based in Barcelona, where Private Media is also based. From there, he directed a mega-production, a remake of the film Excalibur, with a budget of 800,000 Euros. This film, titled Xcalibur, was released in May 2007 and draws on an exceptionally large cast of 75 actors and 250 extras, a first in the world of porn.

Woodman continues to work in the fashion world, doing photo-sessions for big-name magazines (Blast magazine cover and layout Sept. 2006) and discovering fashion models from his castings. Some of his fashion models have gone on to join some of the top modeling agencies, such as Alla Krivocheeva for Elite or recently one of the finalists for Miss Hungary 2005.
