Christina Ricci Neked in Monster?

[RegularKarate]

So (and help me out with this one, Mac) I heard today that Christina Ricci and Charlize theron are going to do a nude lesbian scene in Monster.

Which leads me to the question: "why couldn't this have happened sooner?"

Monster Begins Principal Photography
Monday, February 10, 2003

Production of the MDP Worldwide feature film Monster began principal photography in central Florida today, with Charlize Theron starring as the recently executed female serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Theron is joined by co-star Christina Ricci under the direction of first time director Patty Jenkins.

Convicted of murdering seven men, Wuornos was put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Stark on October 9, 2002, after 12 years on death row. Florida Governor Jeb Bush provisionally stayed her execution but then reinstated it on the 2nd of October 2002. Wuornos was the second woman executed in Florida since the death penalty was reinstated nationally in 1976.

Director Patty Jenkins' original script chronicles the period in Wuornos' life during which she committed the murders. "There was something incongruous with the monster image created by the media coverage of this case and the woman I saw break down in the courtroom on the day of her sentencing," said Jenkins. "Getting behind the headlines to the heart of who this person was is what I'm aiming for with this film.

When it came to casting, Jenkins only had one actress in mind. "Charlize Theron's inherent charisma and rage convinced me that no other actress could better handle the transformation required to tell this very human story," explains Jenkins.

Theron has been in careful preparation for her role and part of her transformation includes gaining over 20 pounds in order to more closely resemble the prostitute, hardened by 20 years of life on the streets, turned serial killer.

Christina Ricci portrays Wuornos' lesbian lover who eventually collaborated with the police in order to convict Wuornos. Wuornos' life has been the subject of books, several television investigation series, an opera and a documentary.

Fattist... she could use that 20 pounds... now if Christina would just pull herself back to that Buffalo 66 look first.

I remember a friend of mine had a shrine of sorts for Christinia Ricci. She thought it was so noble that someone with her figure was willing to keep it while making movies in Hollywood. That admiration dissappeared though when she thinned down in a way that seemed reminding way too much of other Hollywood actresses.

Hollywood stunner Christina Ricci will appear completely naked in her next film role. The former child star, who shot to fame in The Addams Family, will join actress Charlize Theron in the movie Monster. Monster is the story of executed serial killer Aileen Wournous, a prostitute, who murdered seven men on the Florida highways during 1989-90. And the scenes where the two women become lesbian lovers in prison don't faze the 22-year old star. She says, "I'm pretty f****** naked. My agent persuaded me to go for it. She keeps saying, 'You have beautiful breasts'."

She keeps saying, 'You have beautiful breasts'."

is that all it takes?

[Raikus]

And suddenly, as if by one consciousness, the line "You have beautiful breasts" is spoken to women in bars across the world.

What a time to be alive...

Thanks for that article, Mac. I always hate it when actresses put on a few pounds for a role and they automatically assume that they look enough like an ugly woman to gain the respect of critics. Theron's actually going all out on this one.

[Xixax]

She still needs a little armpit stubble to be completely repulsive.

[The Silver Bullet]

Still. It'll be one Hell of a lesbian sex scene, boys...

This whole thing reminds me of an SNL skit where a college boy gets a wish and he asks for "real live lesbians doing it" and these two hairy women sporting flannel and mullets appear and start making out.
