The marketing team behind Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona (due in theaters later this month) must be ready to throw a party for the director and cast on a yacht – or more likely a slow boat to China. Several months ago we told you about Allen downplaying expectations of “torrid sex” in the movie, saying “People who come and expect those exaggerations are going to be disappointed.” Now we’ve got Scarlett Johansson revealing that her make-out session with Penelope Cruz wasn’t all that thrilling – and Cruz declining to speak about it at all.
US Weekly caught up with the dynamic duo on the red carpet and got the lowdown: “When they shot the scene, ‘there were like 60 crewmen [sitting around] eating salami sandwiches!’ Johansson said at the movie's Los Angeles premiere Monday. ‘It's really the least sexy thing you can ever imagine!’” Wow, is it too early to order my tickets? Meanwhile, Cruz was even less effusive in a Q&A with Newsweek. “Really, Scarlett and I have run out of lines to say about that. We're calling Woody to give us some material. People love that subject. The only thing which is honest, the set was very crowded that day. But I don't have anything else to tell you about it.”
We can only hope this raw passion translates to the screen.
