趣闻
Scenes of a Sexual Nature is a 2006 British comedy-drama film directed by Ed Blum and starring an ensemble cast which includes Ewan McGregor, Adrian Lester, Eileen Atkins, Andrew Lincoln, Gina McKee, Sophie Okonedo, and Hugh Bonneville. The film follows a series of seven loosely related stories of couples on Hampstead Heath in north London. The scenes appear out of sequence and jump back and forth between one story and another.
Production
Tom Hardy was the only cast member who had to audition at that time, and he was cast after only a 30-second audition. Said Ed Blum, "He had to read from the script, the character, and so there wasn’t any improvisation or anything like that, it was just a straight read. He’d really done his homework. He had created a character in his mind."
Scenes of a Sexual Nature was filmed on a minimal budget (estimated at £500,000) and the actors were offered Equity minimum and a percentage of profits as their salary. The filmmakers presented the project to investors a mere two weeks before shooting began, at which point the actors had already signed on. To increase the budget, Blum re-mortgaged his flat.
