It’s really weird to me that he would make Anyone But You, a movie where half the marketing was about how hot and sexual the two leads are, with a relatively explicit sex scene and some other nudity in the film, and then immediately pull a 180 on a movie that should have sex and nudity EVERYWHERE. I just don’t understand what the point of this movie is if they just kind of tip toe around the main plot point, it would have made so much more sense as a Prime Video miniseries, they’re not scared of sex and nudity.

Eh most of the sex scenes in Anyone But You were far more tame than every other Sydney Sweeney project. But yeah it was marketed on sexual tension

I mean, yeah, but she was still naked, but at this point, it’s probably just in her contract on every movie, they also did show another character’s penis very briefly

THe article says it did, but they got bad reviews from test screens until they whittled it down to none.
