8. Jennifer Lawrence Passengers
Passengers is an upcoming 2016 sci-fi film directed by Morten Tyldum. It tells the story of two passengers on-board a spacecraft that is travelling to a distant colony. The spacecraft is transporting thousands of people, but an error in one the craft's sleep chambers causes a single person to wake up sixty years before arrival. Terrified of the prospect of living those years in solitude and ultimately dying alone, the person decides to wake another passenger. The titular passengers are portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. Presumably (that is to say, predictably) the two begin to develop feelings for each other, which leads to some literally out of this world intimacy (sorry). In a 2015 interview, Lawrence revealed that this was the first sex scene she'd ever shot (but was thankful that it was at the very least with Chris Pratt). She was so nervous about shooting the scene that she downed an entire bottle of whiskey in preparation. She then admitted that she hadn't really considered the fact she'd be on set for around eight hours, and spent the day absolutely hammered. Generally these kinds of insights aren't revealed until longer after a film's release, so it'll be interesting to analyse the scene when the film releases in 2016, looking out for any obvious signs that she's wasted.
