Scarlett Johansson wanted to go TOPLESS in this movie (Bay said NO)

Scarlett Johansson wanted to go topless in this movie during the scene with her and Lincoln first discovering sex. She locked herself in her trailer and refused to wear the black bra that Bay was making her wear. She said to Bay, "Im not wearing this filthy bra, who wears a bra when they sleep." Michael Bay kept arguing with Scarlett telling her that she had to wear the bra because the movie was pg-13. He forced her to wear the bra. I mean if a hot actress like that wants to go topless in a movie i don't think that anyone else in the country would have minded.

Who here now hates Michael Bay

Why doesn't she go topless in other stuff, then? If she's so feisty about it, I wouldn't mind seeing her puppys, it would make a change to see a decent pair of tits on screen instead of these 12-year old boys like Milla Jovovich. Sorry, I know, I know, but I get pretty passionate about tits - I'm a man.

Opinions are just onions with pi in them.

LOL!!

[–] krunchy144 11 years ago

Lol, that really did make me laugh . Gotta love honesty and Scarlett Johansson the hottest woman on screen IMO . Would've loved to seen her topless. They should've made it rated R just for that reason alone. I can't believe I've never seen this movie till today on Cinemax, awesome flick ?

They should have filmed it both ways then with the bra and topless then they could always release the 'R' version at a later date on DVD.

There are many movies that actually release an 'R' version for the big screen and then on DVD the have both an 'R' and Unrated version.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[gasp]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Michael Bay doesn't want to use cheap tricks to sell his movies... oh god I'm dyin' here... tell me another!

[–] hipsterdylan 10 years ago

"Cheap tricks"? It's a Mike Bay movie. The whole thing is cheap tricks.

I would have filmed it with her topless. I also would have filmed myself anally penetrating her

She lucky this was early in her career and sometimes going topless kills you actors careers.

[–] TriggerJerk 11 years ago

Oh Bullpucky! Name a few. In fact name even one recent one actor or actress whose career has faltered due to a nude scene, nip slip or "leaked" sex tape. And don't tell me about Disney - the, er, exposed, parties there have all used that to spring board into more mature roles.

It seems like they had it planned that way, doesn't it?

Actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie, Faye Dunaway and even Julie Andrews have dropped blou and got massive boosts of publicity (not to mention ego). I don't think there has been a true case of nudity ruining someone's career since World War II. We now have several highly paid celebrities (I balk at calling them actresses) who got their start in professional or amateur xxx theatrics. So please, don't try to tell me that showing a boob, butt or whatever yer mammy gave ya is a one way ticket to palookaville.

I am assuming when people say they hate Michael Bay, this is actually the real reason

[–] raythorne2005 11 years ago

Name actresses that got their start in pro or amateur xxx?

[–] TriggerJerk 11 years ago

Just off the top of my head: Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Traci Lords...

Remember, you called them actresses, I didn't.

They're all has beens now anyway. And Traci was underage during her porn years, so let's try not to make a big deal about that one.

True enough. Would that I could be such a has been, rolling in the money, appearing on all the tabloids and talk shows and getting multimillion dollar endorsement deals, all stemming from their dubious oral/genital/anal/videography skills.

Without making a big deal of it, lacking her seedy juvenile beginnings, we all now would be saying "Traci who?"

[–] raythorne2005 11 years ago

I don't ever hear Paris Hilton getting any recent headline. Afaik, people only know her for the sex tapes.

And who is Traci Lords?

K.K. is about the only one.

This is a completely silly, pointless discussion, and I'm sorry I ever got involved in it. I'm outta here.

Likely because you're an idiot and a child?

I could say the same about you, buddy.

The German actress that plays Tyrion's "love interest", Shae on Game of Thrones. I think that she won the German equivalent of an Oscar after doing raw anal porn.

[–] raythorne2005 10 years ago

Thanks. I'll look her up...for science.

[–] raythorne2005 10 years ago

If her wiki is anything to go by, her porno appearances didn't actually help jumpstart her career at all. It was a scandal that broke out and people didn't even know about it, yet she still won awards.

[–] griffinesq 10 years ago

I didn't say that it "jump started" her career. Rather, I merely used her as an example of someone fairly recent (i.e. not MM; Stallone; Madonna; etc.) whose acting career (not to be confused w/ the celebrity careers of Kardashian; Hilton; etc.) hadn't seemed to suffer. Cheers.

[–] raythorne2005 10 years ago

Well yeah, there are many many actresses that haven't suffered from that.

My point was that it usually can't jump start a career out of nothing. The only person I know who did that was K.K. who was barely known before the sex tape.

A little late to this thread - stopped by to see what IMDB had to say about this movie after watching it again on TNT last night. The first name that came to mind after reading this comment was Elizabeth Berkley. Has she done much since Showgirls? (Although that probably had a bit to do with the quality of the movie not just the nudity....)

I do recall one comment from the reviews back when Showgirls came out - someone said that Verhoeven and Eszterhas ended up with a movie that did the unthinkable - made nudity boring....

[–] mvksmall 11 years ago

Well, maybe the 51% of women in this country would not be so thrilled. Besides, she paid a lot for those breasts.

[–] knodd1 11 years ago

I heard about this a while back. No wonder people hate Michael Bay.

[–] wakanasakai 10 years ago

If they had bothered to film it both ways (& they should've), the other version should've been UN-rated.

[–] SisterSuzy101 8 years ago

No wonder people hate Michael Bay.

Bay seems to get a lot of hate regardless of what he does, it seems his haters are always looking for new excuses to hate him.
If he did allow a topless scene in this movie, I'm sure the haters would (as they almost always do whenever he his movies feature attractive women to any extent) call him out for being "sexist".

Their characters had an innocence about them. So different from the cruel humans that put them there. They were just discovering sex and the scene needed to be handled sensitively.

[–] AceRoccola 10 years ago

Yeah, because that's Michael Bay all over. Sensitive.

Don't believe this for one minute.
