Sex And Romance Scenes In Future Film And TV Releases May Be Achieved With Visual Effects

Say "goodbye" to steamy romance, because new guidelines laid out for future productions indicate plans for sex scenes to be achieved on screen with the use of visual effects rather than actual actors!

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic might just end up changing Hollywood forever, and until a new normal is established, studios will be forced to find inventive ways to get back to the business of making movies. If a new report from The Sun is to be believed, that's going to include sex scenes which aren't shot for real and are instead created with visual effects! 

According to a 22-page document from "the film editors' trade association," guidelines have been laid out which specify that "close contact moments" should be "either rewritten, abandoned or CGI." It appears this also relates to kissing - a frequent part of superhero movies and TV shows.

This is just one of a much wider range of rules, with more serious stipulations including the use of masks and visors, new environments for auditions, and hand-washing procedures. 

CGI has been used to enhance and change sex scenes for years, but this is a unique approach. However, it could lead to an "uncanny valley" type situation with weird VFX stand-ins used for intimate moments that are no longer possible thanks to social distancing guidelines. Unfortunately, it could also be a necessary evil if studios intend to include scenes like this in future productions.

Bad time to make rom coms

@WakandanQueen - Odd time, realy right now can't make the big budget on location stuff, so makes sense to do low budget rom coms, but really this gets in the way of rom coms. Guessing next obvious place to go is low budget slasher movies

@dracula - Rom coms would need to increase their budgets for any scene of intimacy. Unless they start making quarantine rom coms?

@WakandanQueen - true even slasher movies would have to, considering sex does tend to be a part of it before the person dies

@dracula - Unless they write one that isn't clichéd for once

@WakandanQueen - considering they would be low budget, id doubt they would try anything too different

Seems like a waste of the effect budget. If they want a sex scene fine, but you don't nee to show it to get the point across. Like in Wonder Woman it's obvious they spent the night together

@dracula - Subtlety is always better than showing the actual act so that would be the obvious and least complicated way to go about it.

@NinnesMBC - agree, plus who would want to see weird CGI sex, weird enough that people would have to spend days cgi ing it,

Good thing they already filmed the gay kiss for Eternals. Now let's hope Disney lets us see it. It will be a very important moment for many.

@WakandanQueen - Will probably be the first lead gay relationship in a big budget movie, but is its really that big of a deal there have been plenty on television

@BlackBeltJones - They said the Hulk butt shot in Ragnarok took a heck of a lot of work to get done.
