Lars Von Trier’s ‘Nymphomaniac’ Will Combine Computer Trickery And Stunt Genitals

Those reports of Shia LaBeouf putting it in a real girl were all lies. Originally, we were told that Lars von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac would feature its stars (LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard) having real onscreen sex instead of just wiggling around awkwardly until they come into a sock. Then, there were reports that the film would employ body doubles and visual effects. However, The Hollywood Reporter has discovered what is actually planned. It does not involve Andy Serkis dressing up in a penis costume, sadly.

Producer Louise Vesth filled in the details. “We shot the actors pretending to have sex and then had the body doubles, who really did have sex, and in post we will digital-impose the two. So above the waist it will be the star and the below the waist it will be the doubles.”

This is easily the most perverse use of Forrest Gump technology.

It’s The End Of The World As We Know It In ‘Melancholia’ Trailer

The good news is that Kirsten Dunst is about to be hit by another planet. The bad news is that so are we. Fair trade though, right?

Lars Von Trier‘s Antichrist follow-up, Melancholia, looks like it won’t leave you any less bummed out but it does seem like it won’t make theater-goers vomit. Which is usually a plus. The film stars Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg as sisters who rub one another the wrong way while a newly revealed planet barrels toward Earth on a collision course. Will this dysfunctional family collide with one another in the face of this threat? Or will they shatter to pieces?? This may be your last chance to tell Kiefer Sutherland how you really feel about him.

Lars Von Trier Has ‘Melancholia’

Director Lars Von Trier in the master of making bleak, depressing movies that make you question the value of his art as entertainment. So it follows that his movies would be hot properties at any movie studio. And now, one of those studios, Magnolia, has picked up Von Trier’s latest film, entitled Melancholia. The movie is about the end of the world, with a flashback structure showing how it happened after an opening depicting the actual end. Bad marketing, Von Trier — everyone knows you put the Apocalypse at the END of the movie, so the rubes will stay until the end to see it. This way you’re shooting your bloody load right at the beginning. I like you, Lars, but you need to learn how to give the people what they want, like you did with Dogville. The movie stars Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård and Udo Kier. (via The Playlist)
