Thandiwe Newton Gets Candid About Filming Intimate Scenes With Chris Pine
Michael Hansen
Thandiwe Newton spoke to Entertainment Tonight about a specific scene that "was really important and required nudity" in the movie "All the Old Knives." "I just caught a glimpse of Chris [Pine] at one point, like, we are getting into costumes and hair and makeup, and I'm like, 'Oh, no, no. No.'"
She went on to say that he is a "sweetie" and that they used an intimacy coordinator on set. "So everyone knew what was happening and what was going where," she said. "Everyone consents to every detail of what's happening. Everyone's in agreement, and then we go to work."
Pine also discussed the intimacy coordinator's presence. "You're doing a sex scene in a bedroom, and you have this older woman that's watching and giving your notes on how to do the sex scene," he told Variety, "and I'm thinking, 'Who is this person telling me how to have sex?' But it was wonderful. She was lovely. It just takes the pressure off."
According to YouTube, "All the Old Knives" will release on April 8 on Prime Video.
