HBO Needs Extras Willing To Do What Exactly?

HBO is known for pushing the boundaries of sexually explicit content in their original programming, but an extras consent form for their newest series Westworld makes it seem like they're going farther than ever before!

According to The Hollywood Reporter (link below), this consent form has been making the rounds and paints an interesting picture of what today's shoot is going to be like...

The explicit consent form itself wouldn’t pass standards reviews at a broadcast network as it recites that the performer “may be required to perform genital-to-genital touching, simulate oral sex with hand-to-genital touching, contort to form a table-like shape while being fully nude, pose on all fours while others who are fully nude ride on your back, [and] ride on someone's back while you are both fully nude.”

Less strenuously, others might simply “have [their] genitals painted.”

Like all lists drafted by a lawyer, this one includes a catch-all phrase at the end, indicating that the actor may also be pressed into service to perform “other assorted acts the project may require.” The imagination wanders at that phrase, but an omission from the form suggests that whips and chains may be off the table: the union contract requires advance notice of “rough or dangerous” work, and no such warning appears on the form.

The series, set to debut next year, features both Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood, neither of whom have been shy about nudity in the past, so we can keep our fingers crossed that they'll be getting nude in addition to all of these presumed naked extras. Of course, HBO is known for arousing expectations only to cheap out in the finished product, so who knows what we'll see come 2016. Of course, we'll keep you up to date with the latest news and information as it comes in.
