Interesting tidbit: Barbie Hsu and Ruby Lin wanted Tang Wei's role initially...or so they claimed. Barbie Hsu apparently even did a screen test.
I can NOTTTTT see those two doing open sex scenes, never in a million years.

Yeah, that's why I couldn't believe it...she obviously read the script but still went to do the test? I think just to get more media attention, to prove her 'worth' as an actress *snorts*.
I actually think Cecilia MIGHT be able to pull it off...obviously not after she dated Nicholas, but I think before then...she had that spunk going and her acting is a lot better than some of the 'popular' female actresses of her time. But now, forget it, Nicholas would never let her do it, not in a million years. Plus her uptight mother in law. Meh, I hope she's not gonna be a housewife now. Okay this is off-topic, but while I'm at it, happy birthday Guo Xiang!

Barbie Hsu doing sex scenes? Are you trying to make me vomit? Oh god, that's just disgusting. She's not even good looking! Nor does she have a good figure! Nor does she have intelligence! Nor can she act! The only thing that can be said about her is knows how to pluck armpit hairs.
I hated ZZY in the rolling around in the grass scenes of House of Flying Daggers, completely agree with what yearning said. I cringed much more in that than Brokeback Mountain because she has such an awful moan! I had to close my eyes AND block my ears.

They're not the only ones. Many actresses were rumoured to have met up with Ang Lee for the role, including.. GYY and LYF!! When Ang Lee first mentioned he was looking for a mainland actress to play the female lead, there were rumours that GYY caught Ang Lee's eye but her manager denied that she had met up with the director. I can never imagine GYY in such a role for she's a well-known conservative. As for LYF, her manager claimed she was considered for the role for Ang Lee admired her youth (the news even got published in the S'pore papers) but her mother claimed otherwise; that her daughter never met Ang Lee as well.
Apparently, he broke down and cried during the filming as well for he said he didnt know how to face his family after filming those scenes.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

I can't imagine Liu Yi Fei doing the role. What will happen to her pure image?

I vaguely remember her manager mentioning that LYF wants to preserve her pure image thats why she turned down the role
Im not surprised if its just a rumour especially given the other rumours concerning LYF and GYY.
ZZY is daring but her intimate scenes always seem rather forced and unnatural. Her typical expressions would be to tilt her head backwards, shut her eyes tight and gasp loudly. It was almost the same for "Crouching Tiger", "2046", "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Banquet". But I suppose that's what she was told to do.

What tony and Tang wei's completely nude.....
PEMBIE we got to go see ASAP!!!!
FYI, i HIGHLY doubt Barbie would even do the scene. She was quite anal about filming with her co workers before about kissing and hugging..... doing sex scenes? never in hell
Where is the link to this review that you guys are talking about?
OMG! LYF!?!??!?!?!?!?! HELL NAWWWW! I can never imagine her in such a role! HXM didn't even get to french her in ROCH! I'm sure it was just rumors for fame. I doubt her mom will ever let her be nude on screen.
Don't forget that hideous scene in Memoirs of a Geisha. I have a correction though..she doesn't just gasp, she MOANS loudly and opens her mouth WIDEEEEEE as she does it., rolling her head back and forth as if she's in some kind of ectasy (yeah right..or on second thought, her acting does fit the bill of an ectasy overdose).
oh god don't remind me. I was trying to wipe that film from my memory! I can't believe she got an Oscar nomination for that role
i think i may watch the cut version. In fact, it's funny how most of the films i've seen with sex scenes, i don't remember them. 1) Because my parents used to cover my eyes and 2) i tend to close my eyes/look away anyway.
i hope Tang Wei does better than Zhang Ziyi, and from the reviews i've heard, her acting is very good especially for a newcomer.
