Shia LaBeouf Will Perform Non-Simulated Sex Scenes For Lars Von Trier Movie
August 20, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Shia LaBeouf will appear in Lars Von Trier’s new movie The Nymphomaniac (which is currently filming, with part two in pre-production, according to IMDb).
The 26-year-old actor has revealed the movie will basically be an “artsy” adult movie because it will contain non-simulated sex scenes. Think 9 Songs, or Brown Bunny. As in, actual penetration with whomever is his co-star in those scenes. And he’ll probably be naked, a lot, again, after revealing everything for an equally hipster music video.
The unfiltered actor admits he’s “terrified” to film the Danish director’s erotic drama. Shia LaBeouf says the sex scenes in Lars von Trier’s The Nymphomaniac will be the real deal.
As THR exclusively reported, the 26-year-old actor signed on to star in the controversial Danish director’s latest project, an erotic two-part drama that begins production next month and will be released in two cuts, one more sexuality explicit than the other.
“[The movie] is what you think it is,” LaBeouf tells MTV News. “It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he’s making. For instance, there’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we’re doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we’ll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.”
Von Trier’s first film since 2011′s Melancholia, an apocalyptic drama co-starring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg, N-mphomaniac, will chronicle the sexual adventures of a woman (Gainsbourg) from her youth through age 50. Stellan Skarsgard plays her husband, and Nicole Kidman has suggested she might have a small role.
As to why LaBeouf took the The Nymphomaniac job: “Because (von Trier’s) dangerous. He scares me. And I’m only going to work now when I’m terrified.” – via The Hollywood Reporter.
