Nymphomaniac

[_____V_____]

Screen Daily confirms that Lars Von Trier is now locking in his next project, and it promises to be his most controversial to date.

The site reports that “Nymphomaniac,” which was mooted before the festival to be the director’s next film, is now looking certain to be so, and is currently targeting a shoot in the summer of 2012.

The film will be sexually explicit in nature, and revolve around “the erotic life of a woman from the age of zero to the age of 50.” The key words there being “from the age of zero”—it sounds like Von Trier’s going to be getting Freudian in his next film.

Nevertheless, the director seems ready to strike some kind of compromise on the film, which will be made up of eight chapters, with names such as “The Western and Eastern Church” and “The Little Organ School”—it seems that two versions will be produced, one featuring explicit scenes of penetration, the other aimed at a more squeamish, mainstream audience. It also appears that it’ll be shot in English—like most of the helmer’s work these days—and is being financed across Europe.

Producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen said “He (Von Trier) is really keen on doing this thing. I think that this will be a very amusing film also, very erotic but very funny also. I guess we have something which could generate some press attention. How pornographic it will be, that we have to see in terms of what financing dictates.”

Hopefully the film will have some reasoning to it behind just shock value, and the fact that the film will be “primarily dialogue-driven” gives us some hope in that regard. Assuming financing and a cast come together, Von Trier will shoot next summer, so we’ll probably see this on the festival circuit—with certain obvious exceptions—sometime in 2013, while “Melancholia” lands in U.S. theaters on November 11th this year.

Shia LaBeouf Will Have Unsimulated Sex in Lars von Trier’s NYMPHOMANIAC

The outspoken director hasn’t shied away from talking about the explicit nature of Nymphomaniac, which follows the erotic events in the life of a woman (Charlotte Gainsbourg) from her youth to age 50. LaBeouf will star alongside Stellan Skarsgard, and the actor recently revealed that von Trier has no plans to “simulate” the sex happening in the film. He’s going for the real thing.

Speaking with MTV News for the upcoming period drama Lawless, LaBeouf—next to a slightly shocked Jessica Chastain—revealed that the film’s sex scenes will be done for real:

"It is what you think it is. There’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says, we’re doing [the sex] for real. And anything that is ‘illegal’ will be shot in blurred images. But other than that, everything is happening.”
