Rumors spread like wildfire on social media, and the latest one started with a small account before being picked up by larger pages.
The rumor claimed that Sophie Thatcher was set to lead Sean Baker’s upcoming sex comedy film, reportedly inspired by 1960s and 1970s Italian sex comedies.
If you don’t know, Italian sex comedies aren’t PG-13 like many American films. Instead, they’re known for featuring nudity, provocative themes, and plenty of fan service, often showcasing beautiful women.
A 55-year-old Italian actress is reportedly involved in the film, and Sean is said to be looking to begin filming later this year.
However, the rumor that Sophie Thatcher would likely play the lead has been shut down by Sean Baker himself. So yes, fans who were hoping to see Sophie show some skin might be pretty disappointed.
He also doesn’t want any studio controlling what he shoots, so he plans to film it independently.
Currently, there are no official plot details, but reports suggest it may follow a sex worker, similar to Anora.
All these hints suggest the movie could be full of R-rated content, possibly even more than Anora itself. I’m also excited to see who ultimately lands the lead role. Hopefully, it’s someone we haven’t seen in this kind of role before, which would make it even more surprising.
