Steam cleaned from ENTRAPMENT'
Well... gosh... I hope this isn't true... Not because I want to see a sixty year old man having sex with Catherine Zeta Jones.... But because I think the costume design of Catherine Zeta Jones in multiple nude love scenes is Academy Award worthy. This does smack of DVD extras though doesn't it? Well... here's the scoop...
Harry,
Not often us brits get a chance to get gossip, so, here goes.
According to 'The Mirror':
CONNERY CUTS OUT FILM SEX
Movie legend Sean Connery has ordered sex scenes in his latest film Entrapment
to be dropped.
The former James Bond star, consistently voted one of the world's sexiest
men, was to have bedded pin-up Catherine Zeta Jones.
But Connery, 67, told the former Darling Buds of May actress he did not want
their characters to have sex.
And he even asked for the heat to be taken out of their romance. Now the two
will just kiss.
Entrapment, released in Britain on June 18th, stars Connery as an art thief
and Miss Zeta Jones, 29, as an insurance investigator sent to catch him.
She tells Now Magazine: 'It was a surprise. There was a spark between our
characters'.
Make of that what you will.. keep up the good work.

Connery has class. First of all, it would be ridiculous for a 67 year old to be having sex with a woman in her late 20's, and second of all, removing the sex makes it much more like classic films of this type. I say, the lower the rating a thriller or action film can get away with, the better. More often than not, "R" ratings are due to an overkill on sex and violence that isn't necessary to the story.

On one hand, the fact that the average Hollywood movie couple is a 60 year old man and a 25 year old woman really pisses me off. On the other hand, a movie star having enough power to ORDER the director/editor to cut out ANYTHING pisses me off even more. Which should I bitch about? Will the ghost of LaneMyers help me out with this one?

I think that Sean Connery made the right decision. Am I the only one who imagines Connery having to take a break during an intimate scene because he's 'winded' and needing to take his heart medication. I couldn't live with that knowledge on my conscious. Let him be wrinkled and wizened, and sex-free. Sean, we still remember your prime sex-with-Pussy Galore days. You're still the undisputed king of suave, nailing those blonde Russian spies in hip-huggers. You don't have to prove yourself anymore. Anyway, after seeing the trailer for the film, I think the scene where Zeta-Jones slinks her way through the laserbeams provides all the eroticism you could ever want. She could make cleaning a toilet bowl sexy. (And after watching 8mm, I assume there's a market out there for that sort of thing)
-
Not sure if cutting the nude scenes will make this movie better, but seeing CZJ simulating sex on the big screen can only be a good thing. 8)
BTW, Does anyone know what her ethnic background is? DOes she or doesn't she have some hispanic in her? -

Zeta Jones is Welsh and they were marvelling at how Hispanic she
by wesley snipes

First of all: Euuuwww! NO way I wanted to see that old guy screw a young babe! Second of all: Yay, now I can see this movie without being subjected to graituitus nudity and sex.
-
she can screw anything she wants and ill watch it.. =)
-
Catherine Zeta Jones is Welsh.
One of the very few worthwhile things ever to have been exported from this part of the world, and apart from being the shooting locations for stuff like "Dragonslayer" "Forever Knight" and "Prince Valiant" on of our very, very few claims to Hollywood (or any other) fame.
I don't think she has any hispanic in her, but she may have had during filming (heh heh)
For those over the pond who don't know, Wales is that little piece of land to the left of England and to the right of Ireland.
As for sex scenes with Sean Connery, well, as long as we don't have to look at HIM, it's going to be all right. -
Okay, so I forgot to mention Anthony Hopkins (who went to such pains to assure us that "Lambs" wasn't a horror movie, then distanced himself from it when we didn't believe him and went to see it anyway, God forbid the great actor should do something popular)
Also, the shooting location for "The Prisoner" was hereabout.
But.......we also have to own up to that alcoholic old ham who couldn't act for shit Richard Burton (look at Exorcist 2 and tell me I'm wrong !)
Finally (before I get lynched) welcome back Lane Myers, telling it like it is !!! -
It may be crude but i want catherine nude. There is nothing wrong with a little nudity in a film. How puritanical are we. Its okay to have connery killer racks of people as james bond but no nudity, heaven forbid. Most people will never kill someone, generally an illegal act, but most everyone is going to eventully get naked with someone. I know, I am rambling. Harry those scenes will never hit dvd if they cut them. this is a fox movie and fox never has put any extras on their disc. If ms. jones was willing to do the nudity and still wants it in the film, why does connery want to cut it. I love connery, one of my favorate actors, but what is the guy doing to the male population here. Seems like he is screwing us.
-
Why would anyone want to see Connery getting banged? Oh, and don't forget people: Willem Dafoe is my whore.
American Psycho -
He's herrreee. Welcome back Lane, after your long absence. I look forward to reading your post, they have a humorous edge. The ghost of Lane Myers, now here is a great article of the supernatural for Morarity.
-
It's OK. Only if the purpose is that this doesn't seem to be The Avengers 2, when Connery insisted on having love scenes with Uma Thurman and look what happened.
-
From the report, I got the impression that the "toning down" of the Connery-CZJ relationship was done at filming time, not editing-postproduction time, and even if a few scenes were cut, there wasnt any mention of nudity. but I could be wrong. I can say this tho... if my research turns out that they DID cut out any nude scenes of CZJ (with or w/o Connery, i dont care about that old fuck), then i will BOYCOTT this film... I wanna see her NAKED goddamit.
-
Hell, I think they should put the sex back in. First off, Catherine Zeta-Jones is HOT. (I could download the trailer and watch that shot of her slinking under the laser beams over and over again.) And Sean Connery could get to be 110 and he would still be sexy as all hell; if any 67-year-old man could seduce a woman in her 20s, it would be our sean. Believable? Who cares? These two are too great NOT to do the nasty.
-
Just looking back. The Kubrick stuff is just too depressing.
I am glad the sex scenes have been cut. That's the last thing I want to see. And while I agree that actors having enough clout to have scenes cut is wrong in general, I'm glad they listened this time. What idiot director would want to show that? Unless the director is elderly himself and was thinking all the other old men out there would really enjoy the scenes. Yeeech. The clip currently showing in theatres looks pretty good, and it gave the impression there was heavy flirting - which would be acceptable. Anything more would just be a big distraction.
