Why Aaron Sorkin Refused to Write a s** Scene for Nicole Kidman in a Movie He Wasn’t Proud of

Nicole Kidman has acted in many movies with s**ual scenes throughout her career, but there was one instance where screenwriter Aaron Sorkin refused to write a s** scene for her.

The film he wrote was one he wasn’t proud of, and the request came from director Harold Becker, who wanted a graphic s** scene between Kidman and Alec Baldwin.

Sorkin obliged at first but later wrote four pages of banter that ended with them falling into bed.

Becker insisted that he write the scene and requested that Sorkin write what he wanted to see Kidman do.

Shocked by the request, Sorkin refused, and the scene was eventually done without his input.

Kidman believes that s** scenes are important if they serve an essential narrative purpose.

She said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that she’s not willing to do it just willy-nilly, but she thinks it’s an important connection between human beings, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be depicted on screen.

However, she discovered that not all filmmakers want to shoot s** scenes for the sake of the narrative.

Sorkin and Kidman worked together once again in the Amazon Prime movie, Being the Ricardos, where Kidman played Lucille Ball.

When Sorkin cast Kidman for the role, she received backlash, which made her doubt herself.

But Sorkin believed in her even when she didn’t believe in herself.

He was confident that Kidman was skilled enough to surprise her vocal critics.

Sorkin’s faith in Kidman paid off when she recently won a Golden Globe for her performance as Lucy.

He stated that he learned from The Social Network that you can really leverage low expectations.

He is certain that when people see the movie, they’ll leave feeling that Nicole has made a very solid case for herself.

It is not uncommon for actors and actresses to feel uncomfortable when it comes to s** scenes, and many have spoken out about it.

Some stars, like Kidman, are comfortable with the level of intimacy on-screen as long as it serves a purpose in the narrative.

However, when filmmakers want to shoot s** scenes that do not have any relevance to the story, it could lead to an unpleasant experience for everyone involved.

In conclusion, Kidman and Sorkin have worked together on several projects, and their collaboration has been fruitful.

While Sorkin refused to write a s** scene for Kidman in one of his films, he believed in her talent and cast her in Being the Ricardos.

Kidman’s Golden Globe win is testament to her skills as an actress, and Sorkin’s faith in her was not misplaced.

It is essential to consider the relevance of s** scenes in a movie before shooting them to ensure that they serve a narrative purpose.
