Adrian Lyne is considered one of the leading men in erotic thrillers, with his repertoire of work including Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal, and most recently Hulu’s Deep Water starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. The director now confirms that one of his methods to shooting the perfect, intimate sex scene is hollering and cheering on the actors as they film.
In her 2019 memoir Inside Out, Demi Moore shared a little insight into this strategy. Moore wrote that while they were filming with co-star Woody Harrelson for Indecent Proposal, Lyne “literally didn’t stop talking, practically hollering, the whole time.”
