* Great news, guys. Kate (Katie) McGrath is almost a certainty in performing her first ever nude scenes in upcoming Labyrinth (2012).
First I contacted Channel Four in order extract the rating for the mini-series but it was dead-end :
I didn't give up and had a friend e-mail Tandem Communications for details and voila :
Here the breakdown of the sex and nudity from the book (don't have the script. Recapped is keeping his copy close to chest). Some of the characters possibly written out (the constraints of the screenplay) including Oriane's husband Jehan Congost.
[1] Kate McGrath (Oriane)
- Oriane is fully naked as she poses for her much older husband Jehan in the bed (this scene could be sacrificed or just topless view of Kate)
- Later she and Guilhem du Mas (Emun Elliott) have sex (a certainty to be included. Brief tits?)
- If the bedroom nude intro of Oriane is excised then it will be the one shown in trailers. The dalliance under a willow tree (in the book) is now transplanted into a barn.
"The clasp on Oriane’s cloak came undone. It fell to the ground, the vibrant, shimmering blue material pooling like water at her She looked so vulnerable, so powerless, it was all he could do not to pick her up in his arms."
I'm pretty sure the segment will be long as a nude Oriane digs for info from Guilhem while he plows her. (Kate's breasts and butt?)
[2] Jessica Brown Findlay (Alais Pelletier Du Mas)
- sex scene with Guilhem du Mas - her husband. Alais informs Guilhem she suspects sister Orianne is having an affair. Guilhem quick to shut Alais off by fucking her brains out (topless scene for Ms.Findlay?)
[3] Claudia Gerini (Marie-Cecile)
- possible topless scene in bed with Francois (Paul Hilton) and later posing nude in front of mirror.
[ There is a worry the only nudity shown could be of Claudia's. The Italian was sought by the producers despite she is an Italian and the character is of Gallic background ]
My take is that the nudity and sex scenes will be virtually similar to The Pillars Of The Earth. Kate performing the double duty done by Hayley Atwell and Natalie Worner in TPOFE.

The Sweeney (2012) review by That Film Dude
Summary:
Hayley Atwell being largely wasted. Each is good in their role, but it’s a shame they weren’t given more to do, particularly Atwell. I realise that The Sweeney was Man TV and is now a Man Movie, but I wish the only female character in the film had more of a reason to be here. I can’t reveal the thing that especially annoyed me about the way her character was written because it’s a major plot point, but suffice it to say she only really exists for the sake of that one plot point.
review by DigitalSpy
Summary:
Regan (Ray Winstone) is loud, brash and at times extremely unlikable, but Winstone's charisma in the role means you can't take your eyes off of him (that is, until his sex scene with Atwell).
review by thisisfakediy
Summary:
The usually wonderful Hayley Atwell is miscast as Regan's colleague and lover, mostly because it becomes an exercise in unpleasantness to watch Winstone letching over her and using utterly charmless and misogynistic vernacular to woo her. Are we to believe that professional women in this day and age respond to dirty old blokes leering at their cleavage whilst muttering about their "tits" with the doe-eyed lovestruck look of a 14-year-old watching One Direction?
review by hertfordshiremercury
Summary:
The romantic subplot with Atwell defies credulity - Winstone looks like he would rather chew off her face than kiss it - and their bedroom scene inspires unintentional snorts of derision.

Kristen Stewart : Topless in On The Road
* compromises for the main theatrical releases is not always a bad news. The studios/distributors main aim is to maximize profits during theatrical run. It's their right to request (or demand) a shorter running time. Walter Salles is known to be flexible to accommodate the particular local distributors so his movies can be accessed by all. It's likely in his contract to release extended version (Director's cut) or restore the original length on DVD/HD-VOD.

Decay and decadence : ‘Anna Karenina’ and ‘Spring Breakers’
Two very different after parties for two not-so-different films Anna Karenina, adapted from Tolstoy’s epic tale of 19th century Russian high society as it rots from the inside out, and Spring Breakers, a Harmony Korine-directed Bonnie and Clyde-like odyssey set in the bowels of contemporary America, sound like they’re films that are worlds apart. Not surprisingly, their respective TIFF after parties on Friday night couldn’t have been more different.
At the new permanent location of Soho House in the Bishop’s Building on Adelaide St., Grey Goose hosted a celebration for Anna Karenina after its premiere at the Elgin Theatre. Just before director Joe Wright and stars Keira Knightly, Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson arrived, the stars of Imogene, including Kristen Wiig, Natasha Lyonne and Glee’s Darren Chris, attended their party downstairs in the dark and moody private members’ club–think wood wanescoting, quilted leather couches and vintage carpets –while The Master’s Amy Adams and Ambyr Childers, celebrated their film upstairs. And somewhere in between the three parties, Harvey Weinstein managed to sit still for at least five minutes in a plaid wing-back chair.

While Joe Wright and Jude Law sat around an oak table, Knightly and her Count Vronsky co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson chatted with another group underneath the head of taxidermied moose. And Domhnall Gleeson, who plays Levin in Anna Karenina, not to mention Bill Weasley in Harry Potter, captivated an audience of five in front of the bar.

Just after Law snuck outside for a cigarette, where a photographer asked if she could take his photo–”No, sorry darling”–Julianne Moore, dressed in a snug black dress and four-inch high black Louboutin pumps–made her way upstairs. Her friend asked, “Are you going to be okay baby?”
“Oh yeah,” Moore reassured.
After looking around the near-empty second floor room, which has a bar of its own and a table adorned with what could easily have tallied up to be a $1,000 of pyramids of cheeses, mounds of burrata, an entire round of Parmigiano Reggiano, strings of cacciatore and slices of cured salumi, Moore quietly left.
She didn’t go up the street to Brassai Restaurant, where an after party of an entirely different breed hosted by vitaminwater took thematic to a new level: The wardrobe of Spring Breakers’ four leading ladies–who play college friends who rob a bank to pay for a Florida spring break–Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine , consists largely of brightly coloured bikinis. You can guess what many of the servers, who delivered shooters, vodka cocktails with ice pops dunked in them, donuts and burgers, were wearing.
Inflatable beach balls were carefully strewn amongst wine bottles in the glass-encased cellar. There was also a hot tub. And yes, it was filled with girls. In bikinis.
Although actor James Franco, who plays the cornrowed, metal-mouthed drugs and arms dealer “Alien” in the film with shocking effectiveness (never has a character of Korine’s been both so repulsive and charismatic all at once), had just left, Hudgens, Gomez and Benson weaved throughout the room filled with revellers in sky-heel heels.
No one could have predicted a Sean Young sighting. The notorious Blade Runner actress, who once tried to win the role of Catwoman by confronting Tim Burton and Michael Keaton in an outfit she made herself (the role in Batman Returns was eventually played by Michelle Pfeiffer), showed up dressed head-to-toe in white, complete with a white fur stole wrapped around her shoulders. Another impromptu audition to woo Korine?
(Gossip mavin Lainey Liu, whose insights into the lives of celebrities and the workings of Hollywood are more acute than most, achieved her TIFF nirvana when Young briskly brushed her off.)
Or maybe Korine, the screenwriter of Kids and the director of Gummo, simply has an eclectic group of friends. This is the man, after all, who not only dated Chloe Sevigny, but also had a cameo in Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon.
Walking into the crowd of miscellany, around midnight, was the husband-and-wife directing duo of Imogene, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Polcini, along with stars Darren Criss and Natasha Leone.
And just before 1:00 am, Michael Pitt and Lily Robe, who will both be starring in The First, a bio-pic about Canadian silent film actress Mary Pickford, arrived.
As I struggled to make my exit through a thick crowd of twentysomethings carrying jam jars of vitamin water mixed with vodka in one hand and cigarettes in the other, just as it started to rain, I thought that maybe Anna Karenina and Spring Breakers aren’t that dissimilar after all. Both films are visually sumptuous. And both capture the decay and decadence of two very different ages.

Blake Lively Hates Sex Scenes
The 'Gossip Girl' actress says getting intimate with a co-star in front of the camera is not a nice experience because nobody feels comfortable doing them.
She said: ''Filming sex scenes is always just terrible. Terrible. The actors are uncomfortable, the crew are uncomfortable. But, at the same time, you're all trying to make it as exciting as possible.''
Blake admits the sex scenes in her latest film 'Savages' were even more difficult to film because there were three people involved.
She added to Marie Claire magazine: ''The sex scenes in 'Savages' were especially tricky because they weren't just 'the exciting sex scenes in a movie', but a really important way of showing how these three people love each other, and how they can exist in a relationship together. They were filmed in the first few days of shooting so, on the plus side, you get to know each other very quickly. But it's a pretty torturous process. Afterwards, you're like, 'Nooo! My family is going to see this!' ''
* Jennifer Lawrence was supposed to play 'O' but just before she signs on the dotted line Hunger Games came along and the rest is history. Oliver Stone is mellowing with age when it comes to nudity. The producers wanted an actress willing to strip fully nude for the threesome. But he preferred Blake after seeing her in The Town and got his wish at the end.
“Oh yeah,” Moore reassured.

While director Harmony Korine, dressed in a suit and brand-new white sneakers, chatted with illusionist David Blaine, Hudgens asked her boyfriend Austin Butler to take a photo of her with a fan. In front of the wine cellar, Gomez had her photo with the daughter of a man who told her that her turn in Spring Breakers, where she smokes, drinks and brandishes a gun, is “a great transition”. She sheepishly thanked him.

As Tom Kane continues to try to keep a grip on his city and life, the Boss TV series struggles to attract an audience. Will Boss be cancelled or renewed for a third season of Starz? That’s an even bigger challenge thank Kane’s.
It’s no secret that the TV series struggled in its first season. Despite sporting some top talent, the viewers and ratings just weren’t there. Luckily for the cast and crew, the show was renewed for a second season weeks before the show even premiered. Had the cable channel waited to see how well Boss would perform before making a decision, it’s hard to believe we’d be seeing a second season now.
Last month, at The Television Critics Association press tour, Boss showrunner Farhad Safinia said, “I am completely aware of what the numbers are, and I’m heartbroken… It’s one of those things where you’d like more people to see what you’re doing… I do hope the audience comes to see it so we can tell the entire story. I think we just have to work on that assumption that we will get to do it.”
The ratings were so low for the first season of Boss that they’re often very difficult to locate. We do know that Boss premiered last October to 659,000 viewers and by the middle of the run had fallen to 250,000.
Season two certainly hasn’t been bringing any better ratings. The August 24th installment drew just 229,000 viewers and the season has averaged only 310,000. Earlier this year, the second season of Spartacus averaged 1.35 million on Friday nights in the same timelot.
It seems highly unlikely that Starz will be bringing back Boss for a third season. These numbers are just incredibly small for an expensive scripted drama.
On the positive side, Safinia has indicated that they plot each season like a movie so that each has a beginning, middle, and end. While it’s very likely that Boss will be cancelled, at least the show’s loyal viewers will be given at least some kind of resolution by the end of the season. Season two wraps on October 19th.
What do you think? Do you like the Boss TV series? Why do you think it hasn’t caught on with a bigger audience? Should it be renewed for a third season or cancelled?

‘Careful What You Wish For’
Hyde Park-Image Nation, Troika Pictures and Merced Media Partners are financing and producing Careful What You Wish For, a thriller to be directed by Elizabeth Allen (Ramona and Beezus, Aquamarine). Written by Chris Frisina, it will star Isabel Lucas (Transformers 2, Immortals).
Plot centers on a high school student who gets a lot more than he bargained for when he’s drawn into an affair with the young wife of a wealthy businessman. It’s described as being along the lines of Basic Instinct and Body Heat.Lucas’ recent roles have included the upcoming Terrence Malick film Knight Of Cups, the remake of Red Dawn and The Loft. Casting for other major roles is underway and The film is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2013. Producers are Hyde Park’s Ashok Amritraj and Troika’s Robert Stein, Michael A. Helfant and Bradley Gallo, and Myriad Pictures’ Kirk D’Amico. Exec producers are William Gallo and Merced Media Partners’ Raj Singh, Stuart Brown and Kevin Frakes. Hyde Park International is handling worldwide rights at Toronto.
"I look forward to bringing the fascinating characters to life in this provocative and sexy coming of age thriller," said Allen in a statement. "The lead character of Lena is a uniquely complex femme fatale -- a compelling archetype that hasn't been brought to the screen in some time and is due a revival. I am thrilled to be collaborating with the talented Isabel Lucas on this project and am excited by the depth and mystery she will infuse into the film."
* Bony Isabel finally relaxing her nudity clause? It seems like it with upcoming The Loft. Odd choice of director in shape of Liz Allen known for her vanilla Disney-level efforts and teen TV-shows. First time scribe Chris Frisina. Neither of the producing companies have previously been involved with erotic-thriller genre. The words "grain" and "salt" is playing around in my head right now. The usual female-slanted sex scene (focus on her face and guy butt extensively) but as usual I'm wildly optimistic and hoping to see Isabel surprisingly tight Aussie ass in action.

British ad misses its target
Here we have the year's least subtle condom ad, featuring lots of messy, Oozinator-like scenes of people being assaulted with what is hopefully vanilla frosting. The advertiser is Britain's One Pound Johnny Club, whose very name sounds dirty, though it's just a reference to its mail-order condom service, which costs as little as £1 per month. The ad promises "Sex without the mess," which is probably the stupidest condom positioning ever, and one that exists only to match the provovative visuals. Elsewhere, the company is also trying to appeal to the few dozen people who are still ashamed of buying condoms at a store. "It shouldn't be an embarrassing experience, but it still is," the company claims. You could say the same about the commercial.

Steamy scenes, minus the porno moves
Seductress Cindy Gallop is trying to take the porn out of sex with new risque new online venture.
 |
| Cindy Gallop at home in Manhattan. She is the founder of MakeLoveNotPorn.tv, which shows videos of what it calls "real world" sex. |
So Gallop, now 52, an advertising executive turned web entrepreneur, took her findings to a TED conference in 2009. Easy access to sex websites, she told them, is teaching younger generations "that what you see in hard-core pornography is the way that you have sex."
"As a mature, experienced, confident, older woman," she added, "I have no problem realising that a certain amount of re-education, rehabilitation and reorientation has to take place. "
As laughter rippled through the discomfited and rapt audience, Gallop unveiled a website, MakeLoveNotPorn.com, that compares what it calls the "porn world" with the "real world" of sex.
As graphic and funny as some of the language was, the site was mostly text. Now, Gallop is taking it up a notch with MakeLoveNotPorn.tv, a kind of YouTube for the erotically unabashed. The site, just a few weeks old and still in beta, consists entirely of videos uploaded by real people having what might be called non-performance sex.
Payment is simple: Contributors pay $5 to post a video, users pay $5 to watch and 50 per cent of the proceeds go to the contributors. Each submission is vetted by Gallop and her team. There are now 13 videos. Compared with the harsh lens of mainstream pornography, the videos come across as sweet, earnest, languid, playful and deeply human.
In one video, a hip young thing throws her panties at a bespectacled bearded man and, in a flurry of giggles and moans, nudity and in flagrante delicto ensue. In another, Lily LaBeau and Danny Wylde, pornographic actors who are a couple in real life, partake in a slow-building coupling, showing how they have sex outside of work.
Gallop said 19,000 users have signed up for invitations, with half the page views coming from countries like China, Iraq and Afghanistan. Gizmodo, a gadget blog, called it "The NSFW social media and content-sharing platform the internet's been waiting for."
"It's not about performing for the camera," Gallop said. "We're looking for the comical, the messy, the ridiculous. We're looking for the real."
Getting financing for MakeLoveNotPorn.tv has not been easy, but Gallop said she was compelled by the feedback she got from the original site. Women in particular believed that they were trapped in someone else's pornographic fantasy in bed.
"If I want to tackle the impact of porn as default sex educator," she said, "I have to come up with something as appealing to the mainstream and as all-pervasive in our society as porn."
Gallop did not set out to become a sex evangelist. Born to a Chinese mother and British father, she was raised in Borneo ("a great deal more boring than it sounds," she said) and studied English at Oxford. After college, she went into advertising and joined the firm Bartle Bogle Hegarty in London, where she quickly scaled the ranks. She moved to New York in 1998 to start up its US office.
She stood out, helped to no small degree by her wardrobe. Gallop favours black leather and tight dresses, drawing inspiration from characters like Lisbeth Salander of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Molly Millions of William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.
"You could not miss her in the industry: She was distinct and different, a real character," said William Charnock, a longtime friend and the chief strategy officer for R/GA, an interactive digital ad agency. "She'd be wearing leather bustiers to events."
She also lives in an extraordinary home. Her cavernous 350-square-metre "black apartment" in Chelsea in Manhattan was carved out of a former YMCA and looks like a Blade Runner set reimagined by Carrie Bradshaw. Spotlit and filled with paintings, animal prints, Gucci stilettos and Chinese lacquer, it has been featured in an episode of Law and Order: SVU, a music video with P. Diddy and Nelly and, of course, the multiple beddings that eventually led to MakeLoveNotPorn.tv.
Her entrance into cougardom came through work. Her advertising firm was pitching an online dating site and, wanting to fully experience the product, Gallop, then in her early 40s, posted a profile. To her surprise and delight, she said, the majority of responses came from younger men. Gallop has barely glanced back since.
"I realised I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down," she said. "I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun. And a bunch of guys went, 'Whoopee!"'
At first, she revelled in her sexual discovery. In 2008, she gave a talk at TED university titled "The toyboy manifesto: why older woman plus younger man is the relationship model of the future," in which she argued that such pairings, while generally deemed socially unacceptable, were not only sexually ideal but also righted gender imbalances. Young men, she said, found her life experience appealing rather than threatening.
But when she saw that many of the young men had little sex education outside of pornography, she was moved to speak out.
"The issue I'm tackling is not porn," she said. "It's the complete lack of open, healthy dialogue around porn and sex."
