An update on Love And Other Drugs, the new Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal movie: Hathaway is totally down with the sex scene. While she previously claimed to have "cried every day" during its filming, my favorite girl now says she is really proud of the nude scenes in the upcoming movie:
"I don't think there's anything wrong with nudity in film, and I would hope that any actor that is asked to reveal that part of themselves has as loving and open an experience as we had.
"We just kind of all decided to go a different way this time [instead of planning out what would appear on screen in the nude scenes. [Jake and I] talked about it and we talked with Ed [Zwick, the director] about it and we said, 'You know, we're gonna do what we feel comfortable. Let's talk about why we feel this is important. Let's talk about the story we hope to tell through these scenes.' I think there's a big difference between having nudity and having two characters living their lives without their clothes on.
"Then once we kind of decided how we feel about it, we said, 'Ed, please shoot it as you see fit,' knowing that Ed is not an exploitative person. And at the end, we were shown the scenes that Ed had cut and we were given full license to say, 'I don't like this, I do like this, I think this shot feels a little linger-y to me.' As a result, it became this organic process." [MTV News]
In other words, it's still going to be a light R-rating with minimal boobies and peen. Back to work, everyone.
