Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac project will reportedly feature "groundbreaking" sex scenes.

The upcoming two-part erotic film is to feature graphic sex scenes between cast members, producer Louise Vesth told The Hollywood Reporter.

However, the real hardcore scenes will be filmed using body doubles, who will then be combined with the stars' non-explicit acts using digital technology, she explained.

Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LeBeouf, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe, Christian Slater and Jamie Bell are among the film's cast.

"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," Vesth said.

"So above the waist it will be the star and below the waist it will be the doubles."

The post-production work on the project is said to be the reason why it was not available to be screened at Cannes this week.

Vesth continued to explain that von Trier has used experimental techniques in the film, including double exposures and utilising words and symbols over sequences.

One distributor who saw early footage of the film described it as "groundbreaking...like nothing [they've] ever seen".

Vesth added that she hopes von Trier will end his self-imposed ban on promotion, following his infamous Nazi remarks two years ago.

"Lars has thrown everything in this one," she said. "It's about religion, about God, about philosophy. There's so much to talk about with this movie. I hope he changes his mind and starts giving interviews again."

The world premiere will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark this December.

This is stupid and they should feel stupid.

But its not porn if they do it like that, it's erotic film play.

Not sure how it's ground breaking, unlike they have some extra large BBW with CGI effects where they have sex falling off a roof or something...

OK, look, I have nothing against porn, I watch a fair bit. But sorry, I have no desire to sit in a cinema with loads of other people watching actors pretend to have sex and then body doubles used to insert the real sex. How does it benefit the story - for decades we have known that sex scenes are acted, but now we actually need to see penetration? Why?

I suppose he wanted to do some different

But it's not "different". This is the thing - some of the sexiest stories told can be shown on screen without penetrative sex. It's just pushing it for the sake of pushing it.

I will see it, because I am curious - is this being used in any way to better the delivery of a storyline (I don't see how) or just for the sake of it?

It was a bit like that film 9 Songs, they showed oral which was massive taboo

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
