Last week we reported on a story about a new movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet whose script included a nude scene, despite the fact that 14-year-old star Hailee Steinfeld is underage. Screenwriter Julian Fellowes did little to quell the story, saying that Hailee is “the perfect age” for his scandalous script. But now Carlo Carlei , the director of the film, is putting the nude rumors to rest by stating: In the original adaptation written by the Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, there was a lovemaking scene that included nudity for the married Romeo and Juliet. This script was written with a 20-year-old actress in mind. As soon as Hailee Steinfeld was cast, all nudity and lovemaking have been excised from the script. It will be romantic and age-appropriate for a 14-year-old. Once again, we turn to you, Skin fans: Have they gone overboard exorcising “all nudity and lovemaking” from the script? Do you think Carlei is bowing to pressure from society, or is he making a moral judgement? Was the Sunday Times (and everybody else, Skin Central included) jumping to conclusions? Let us know in the comments! PS- See you in 2015, Hailee!
