Bestill my heart:
JOHANSSON SHOCKS BAY WITH NAKED REQUEST
I saw this movie. In fact, I am embarrassed to admit that I saw it twice (the 2nd time was a very, very hot afternoon, and I happened to arrive at the nice, air-conditioned movie theater at an inopportune time, when The Island was the only movie showing for the next hour and a half or so). And I don't particularly recall any nudity, although I certainly don't recall a black bra either. My guess is that the love scene was as lame as the rest of the movie and I mostly just tuned it out.
It's interesting the way this is being spun. Bay is obviously a dipwad with no integrity whatsoever. I mean, I assume he realizes that people do actually fuck in the nude, right? But, on the other hand, in The Island, the two people are not only virgins, but people who have never really even heard of sex before, so the whole scene is basically bullshit anyway. I mean, how in the world would they have any idea what to do? Did Jordan Two Delta happen to innocently browse through Mr. Lincoln's collection of porn videos while the boys were out? Who knows--this is yet another gaping hole in the movie.
But I am still getting sidetracked here--what I had wanted to say was that this has "cheap publicity ploy" written all over it, except that it doesn't seem to be working. The only reason I came across this story in the first place was because I typed the word "naked" into Google News, because I was looking for info on another story I came across a few days ago in Yahoo Pictures but didn't have the time to look at. Google news only showed two matches for this.
In any case, my hope is that if Scarlett Johansson ever does do any type of nudity in a movie, that it will not be in a piece of schlock like this.
Director MICHAEL BAY was horrified when actress SCARLETT JOHANSSON insisted on going topless for a love scene in new movie THE ISLAND - because the romance is a PG-13.[note: I uncensored the word "fucking" in the article--just for the sake of realism.]
The 20-year-old beauty called Bay to her trailer and angrily refused to wear an unflattering black bra for her love scene with co-star EWAN McGREGOR.
But Bay had difficulty persuading Johansson not to do the scene naked.
He tells movie magazine Empire, "You know the situation - the famous director gets called to the actor's trailer before she does the love scene. I'm like, here we go.
"I'm ready to do Ewan and Scarlett's love scene. I'm like, 'Oh my God, she's not going to come out.
"She says, 'I'm not fucking wearing this cheap-ass black bra, okay? I'm going naked.'
"I'm like, 'Scarlett, you can't go naked. It's a PG-13.' Classic story, She's feisty, I must say."
