Neve Campbell's first nude scene.
Neve Campbell said in a 2006 interview that she loved stripping off onscreen and wasn't nervous filming her first ever nude scene for this movie. Her faith in the director James Toback had a lot to do with her willingness to bare all, but she also credited her maturity. "[The nudity] did make sense, so I didn't feel I was compromising myself. And I think also, I'm just a little more comfortable with myself than I would have been five years ago." The only weird part she admitted was being fully naked in a shower with the director, cameraman and two other male crew staring at her from just a few feet away. But she admitted she'd still go nude again if the right role called for it.
While many directors may try to over direct nude scenes, which just ends up making actors uncomfortable, Neve Campbell said director James Toback's only direction when it came to her shower scene was to just take her robe off and then "get in and bathe."
Neve Campbell said James Toback let her choose the actress who would play Sam so she'd be more comfortable filming their lesbian love scene together. She meet with several actresses to figure out who she connected with and that's how Joelle Carter was cast. Then the two went over the scene together, decided how they wanted to do it, and Toback filmed it that way.
Neve Campbell avoided nudity is her previous films, but felt that this part called for nudity and wasn't exploitative about it. "I've had issues in the past with nudity, when I've felt that the scenes of nudity in the films have nothing to do with the films themselves, that they were solely there for box-office draw. But as this film is about sexual exploration and curiosity and power, it seemed to make sense to me to see this character in the raw. I think it's just right. I think we would've been far too overt if we had taken it any further. I think each sex scene in the film tells its own story, and they're all very different from one another." Ironically, the studio ended up using an image of her nude on the poster art in order to draw a bigger audience.
"[Ford is trying to convince Vera to sleep with the Count for money] Ford: I'm a mentor. I'm not a hustler. I'm a conduit, I'm a circuit. Listen... Listen to me very carefully. My whole mission on this planet right now in relation to you is to introduce you to yourself. You know that. You're a deeply sexual human being. You have major erotic power. The easiest thing, and the most selfish, would be to convince you to lend yourself to one person, even if that one person was myself. That would be suffocating to you, and ignoble of me. That's what a hustler would do, and I refuse to hustle. I'm looking to lead you down the path of Ovid and Sappho, D.H. Lawrence, Edna Saint Vincent Millay, to say nothing of the whole hip-hop revolution. It's the path of the Bible: "Seek and you shall find. Know thyself". You're so ready right now to open yourself to discover your capacity for multiple men; multiple in the sense of at least a few. Maybe not at the same time, but sequentially. And - I know I'm getting ahead of myself here and you might not want to hear this because you're at least a year away from being there - but at some point you gonna be ready to explore women. And enjoy them. They already desire you all the time; you're just oblivious to it. But that's down the road, let's stick to the present for now: all that I'm asking is that you meet the Count... Vera: [interrupting him] Set it up. Ford: [not believing his ears] Really?"
"[first lines] Ford: [on his cellphone] Yeah, but is it lucrative? Yeah, you gotta consider... You gotta always consider the cost-path ratio. Ask Yuri. Hold on a second... Hello?... Yo, wassup?"
