Quote of the Day: Carey Mulligan on Nudity, Singing
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
"It's scarier to sing than to do nudity. Singing is like really exposing yourself. I was playing sort of a singer, so I was pretending to have a talent I don't necessarily believe I have. So singing was quite scary."
-- Actress Carey Mulligan on why she feared singing over her nude scenes in Shame.

Jessica Alba’s Fake Nude Scene
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Technology
If you're a Jessica Alba admirer, you probably already know -- and have been disappointed by the fact -- that she doesn't like to do nudity. That's why a scene in the recent film Machete caused many jaws to drop. Well, prepare to have them dropped further.
Although the actress really didn't (fake) expose more than what we see in magazines these days, that extra amount of skin was actually the result of computer magic. As you can see from the before still on the left, the married mother of one wore a strapless bra and underwear for the moment.

Daniel Radcliffe Strips For Harry Potter

Definitely one who does not fear nudity, Daniel Radcliffe will bare all twice in the next Harry Potter movie.
The actor - who has previously stripped for his part in stage production Equus, both in London and New York - will stun fans when he gets close to Emma Watson’s character Hermione Granger during a fantasy sequence in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
Director David Yates revealed, “Daniel has appeared nude in the past. There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress but we’re still thinking about how we present it.”
The scene occurs when Harry’s best friend and Hermione’s love interest Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, is battling a monster which tries to defend itself by flashing a series of images where Harry and Hermione are kissing and embracing.”
Daniel will then expose himself in a later scene following a brush with death. The director added, “There is another scene in Kings Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene he will also be naked.”

Quote of the Day: Eric Bana Wants a Nude Day
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases
“The nude scenes never felt magical. They felt like a pain in the arse. I think I should have just had one big nude day. Wouldn’t that have been a good idea? Then I could have got it all over and done with, which would have been good. Those scenes were an unnecessary evil.”
- The Time Traveler’s Wife star Eric Bana on filming nude scenes. Then again, who can blame him—working with Rachel McAdams seems rather intimidating, even moreso when doing so in your birthday suit!

No More Nudity for Kate Winslet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
If an Oscar nomination isn’t reason enough for you to finally see The Reader, consider this: That may be the last film Kate Winslet ever strips down for again.
In the current issue of Time, the two-time Golden Globe winner and current Oscar nominee claims her days of opening up for the camera are completely over. “I think I won’t do it again: a) I can’t keep getting away with it, and b) I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off’,” the 33-year-old explained.

Mr. Skin Lists Greatest Nude Scenes in New Book
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Books, Home Entertainment, Lists
Jim McBride has a great job. For the last eight years, he and a small group of dedicated employees (including his own mother) have fastidiously watched, pinpointed, and categorized female nude scenes in over 25,000 movies and television shows, and this Saturday McBride—or as millions know him, Mr. Skin—released a book chronicling the best of the best with Mr. Skin’s Skintastic Video Guide: The 501 Greatest Movies for Sex & Nudity on DVD. Of course, after nearly a decade of harmless pay-it-forward sexual decadence, one book would seem unfitting—this book is the second from McBride, after 2004’s Mr. Skin’s Skincyclopedia: The A-to-Z Guide to Finding Your Favorite Actresses Naked.
Those unfamiliar with Mr. Skin need look no further than this year’s outrageous comedy Knocked Up, where a group of men spend all of their time and money (what little they have) on the development of a website dedicated to nude women in mainstream film, only to find Mr. Skin has beaten them to the punch—a plug that, according to McBride, has increased the website’s hits by 35 percent.
The new book takes the same approach as the website, recording the length of time an actress is nude along with her name and which body parts are shown. But McBride is careful to draw a line between his craft and pornography, keeping his focus on mainstream film and television, and leaving the extreme sites to compete with each other.
If skipping all the artistic fluff (you know—plot, character development, soundtrack, cinematography, acting, etc.) and getting right to the debauchery excites you, pick up a copy of Mr. Skin’s Skintastic Video Guide today. Here at FilmCrunch, we’re inclined to watch the entire movie. But if we happen upon a nude scene or two, we’ll keep right on watching—everything is sexier with context.
