Red Blood, Bare Breasts and a Crazed Elijah Wood in the 'Maniac' Red-Band Trailer

Former hobbit Elijah Wood puts those monstrously large peepers of his to chillingly good use in the latest trailer for director Franck Khalfoun's Alexandre Aja co-written remake of Bill Lustig's Maniac, which premieres at this month's Cannes Film Festival. Earlier this month, we saw the film's teaser trailer, and now a very explicit, very NSFW, expanded red-band version has arrived online. Check it out after the jump.

Here's the synopsis for Maniac:
"Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt."
"Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank's obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
"A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made - an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims."

 

 

* Couple of confirmed nudity. Newcomer and model Genevieve Alexandra is topless peeped on by the killer and Nora Arnezeder (ass).

Conservatives Attack “Irresponsible” Kristen Stewart’s On The Road Performance

by Jeanne Adams on May 24, 2012

Conservative groups are attacking Kristen Stewart for her new sexually-charged, hedonistic role in the eagerly anticipated movie, On the Road. In the film, Kristen engages in sexually explicit scenes involving threesomes and fellatio which are leaving some with bad tastes in their mouths.

“The movie industry has a twisted affection for making raunchy films that use and abuse former child stars,” Dan Gainor of the Culture and Media Institute told RadarOnline.com. “In the film On The Road, Kristen Stewart engages in a threesome and masturbates two male characters according to reports. How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilight movies explain this?”

Um… my guess would be to tell them she’s NOT REALLY BELLA SWAN. Oh, and if you take your children to see this movie, then you should first explain to your kids why you’re a bad parent before you have the heart to heart that vampires aren’t real.

But relax Kristen. These conservatives aren’t only pointing the finger at you. Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus and even Saved by the Bell’s Elizabeth Berkley (I know, random, right?) are corrupting America’s young girls by doing their jobs.

“We’ve watched and been saddened by the parade of former Disney stars getting used, so that any wholesome image they have is destroyed – Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus and more. But it’s not just them,” Gainor continued. “It’s a common theme from actresses like Elizabeth Berkley from Saved by the Bell who appeared in the tawdry Showgirls or Anne Hathaway who went from every girl’s dream role model in the Princess Diaries to a nude scene with Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and Other Drugs.”

This is almost too stupid to comment on – but I will, you know it! So is this dude saying the end all be all role for women is to play pretty, pretty princesses? If this dude was even remotely rational I’d be offended. Thankfully, I’m not. What he fails to understand is that these “tawdry” roles he mentioned are some of the best movies these actresses have done. And why the double standard? Leonardo DiCaprio started his career on Growing Pains. Zac Efron and Justin Timberlake were Disney darlings along with Cyrus and Spears before they went on to bring their sexy back. Gyllenhaal was in Bubble Boy for Christ’s sake! Why not call him out for the nude scene?

Now, I’ve worked myself up! Ugh, I’m going to forget this dude and move on. Am I overreacting? Do you think Gainor has a point?

12 Amazing Lesbian Sex Scenes in Movies-Watch

 

Earlier this week SF Gate compiled its list of Great Movie Sex Scenes (including a few girl/girl scenes), but that prompted us at SheWired to start thinking about sex in the movies only to realize we've, oddly, never done our own list of fave lesbian sex scenes on celluloid. Since it's spring, and a holiday weekend is right around the corner we figured we'd relive some of the hottest girl/girl sex scenes ever captured on the big screen. Yes, there are plenty of the usual suspects but when a sex scene is just that good it doesn't matter how many times you watch it. 

Bound (1996)
Starring Gina Gershon as Corky and Jennifer Tilly as Violet, this mob thriller serves up a heavy cocktail of sapphic sex and mafia intrigue. It went on to win the 1997 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding (wide-release) Film for co-writers and co-directors Andy and Lana Wachowski (Matrix Trilogy). And no small wonder since the chemistry between Gershon and Tilley is palpable. A modern classic for sure!

Room in Rome (2010)
Rome stars international actresses Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In) as Alba and Natasha Yarovenko (Diary of a Nymphomaniac) as Natasha. The two beautiful strangers quickly become lovers, who eventually connect on a much deeper level, over the course of an intense and adventurous evening of sex in Alba’s hotel room. HOT!

Better than Chocolate (1999)
This Canadian import stars Karyn Dwyer as Maggie and Christina Cox as Kim, new girlfriends who are forced to deal with the normal stress that comes along with starting a new relationship, all while dealing with Maggie’s family and her own coming out issues. Dwyer and Cox are electric together.


Elena Undone (2010)
Undone is the love story between Elena (Necar Zadegan), a stay at home mother and pastor's wife, and Peyton (Traci Dinwiddie), a well-known lesbian author. The two share an intense connection immediately upon meeting and sparks fly as their forbidden love becomes harder and harder to hide.


Black Swan (2010)
Natalie Portman (Nina) and Mila Kunis (Lily), need we say more?



The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love (1995)
Director Maria Maggenti's story of first love stars a young Laurel Holloman as the adorable baby butch Randy who falls for the school's pretty, popular girl Evie played by the stunning Nicole Ari Parker. Their first time is funny, touching, sexy and sweet, and we see where Holloman got some of her training for those upcoming The L Word sex scenes.


With Every Heartbeat/Kyss Mig (2011)
Thirty-somethings Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) and Frida (Liv Mjönes) meet at their parents' engagement party, but the stepsister’s relationship ignites into a passionate affair that will have negative repercussions on their entire family.


The Sea Purple/Viola di mare (2009)
Loosely based on true events, Purple is the story of childhood best friends Angela (Valeria Solarino) and Sara (Isabella Ragonese), who cross the line from platonic to lovers in this drama that explores gender roles in the 19th century.

 I Can't Think Straight (2008)
We're going to use this line again -- Sheetal Sheth and Lisa Ray, need we say more?


Summer Lover/Sappho (2008)
Newlywed American wife Sappho (Avalon Barrie), honeymoons with her husband in Greece, but once there, she meets and begins a torrid affair with Helene (Lyudmila Shiryaeva). Less of the husband and more of the ladies please…


The Hunger (1983)
Long before Twilight and True Blood The Hunger examined the love triangle between vampires Miriam (Catherine Deneuve) and John (David Bowie) and human Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon). The love scene between Sarandon and Deneuve was precedent setting. The line "Are you trying to seduce me Mrs. Blaylock?" would become quotable in lesbian circles -- at least in ours -- for decades.


Honorable mention – Gia (1998)
Even though it’s technically a made for TV (HBO) movie, Gia introduced a young, exciting and Angelina Jolie to the world. And who didn't want to marry Elizabeth Mitchell, who played her long-time love in the film? Jolie went on to win a Golden Globe and a SAG award for her role as the sexually adventurous lesbian supermodel Gia Marie Carangi. Filled with graphic sex scenes, Gia is guaranteed to please.

'Desire to sext naked pictures is hard-wired into human brains': Feeling wanted is especially important to women

• Sexual display common among other apes
• 'Being desired is very arousing to women' says psychologist
• 47% of women have fantasised about stripping or being a pole dance

It has become a favourite celebrity pastime, with everyone from Scarlett Johansson to Vanessa Hudgens having being caught in the act.

Now, however, scientists say our willingness to share naked picture of ourselves with others might actually not be our fault - it could be hardwired into our brain.
'Being desired is very arousing to women,’ claims clinical psychologist Marta Meana, president of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research.
‘An increasing body of data is indicating that the way women feel about themselves may be very important to their experience of sexual desire and subjective arousal, possibly even outweighing the impact of their partners’ view of them.’
Recent studies have found that more than half of women’s sexual fantasies reflect the desire to be sexually irresistible to men.
In one recent survey, 47% of women reported the fantasy of seeing themselves as a striptease dancer, harem girl, or other performer.
50% fantasized about delighting more than one man.

Marta Meana of the Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, who analysed the research, admitted more research was needed in the area, claiming scientists need to investigate eroticism.
‘The little data we have indicate that eroticism just will not be told what to do,’ she said. ‘Consequently, research and clinical forays into eroticism may go a long way toward facilitating inclusiveness and considering the diversity and full range of women’s sexual desires.’
The research could explain the recent flood of celebrity picture leaks.
The popularity of smartphones with cameras has meant that over the past two years, more photographs of bare-naked celebrity anatomy have been leaked to the public eye than over the previous two centuries.
The list of those those who have had their saucy snaps revealed includes Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Hudgens, Congressman Wiener, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Ron Artest, Charlize Theron, Chris Brown, Bret Favre, Rihanna, Pete Wentz, Ke$ha, and dozens more.
Many have even defended their actions.
‘Look I’m human, and just like every girl in this world, I admire my body so i take pics,’ wrote singer Teyana Taylor after her graphic self-portraits were leaked.
Websites showing amateur self portraits have also become a huge success around the world, many using pictures taken from Facebook and other social networking sites.
The behaviour also appears in men, and some researchers believe they may have inherited the urges from primate ancestors.
Male monkeys and apes routinely display their penises to females to indicate sexual interest.
