THIS CHICK AGAIN: FROM 'SHAME' TO FAME: CALAMIT Y. CHANG ON HER HOT MÈNAGE À TROIS SCENE
***Just posting the part in which she talks about 'Shame.' Interestingly enough, she brings up Nicole...hmmm.
So I'm watching the hottest sex scene ever in the movie Shame with Amanda, when we both exclaim aloud CALAMIT Y. !!!!!. Your famous feather tattoo confirmed it was you and DeeDee Luxe. I understand sex; it didnt actually occur, but everyone was hot. Tell us about the scene, the conversations leading up to it, and conversations after.
When I went to the audition, I knew the film was by Steve McQueen. His first film, Hunger, also starring Michael Fassbender, was a huge hit with film fans, so I guess you can say I already trusted him and his vision for my role as Late Night Lover #1." When we met, he showed me the script and explained what the film was about. I had a lot of questions about Brandons (Fassbender) character development because I was curious about how Steve was going to handle the subject of sex addiction. On the day of the shoot, DeeDee and I wanted to know if our characters were prostitutes. Steve didnt give a direct answer but he did say something to the effect that we were just normal people living in NYC, and like many people, we sometimes accept money for certain things. This reminded me of some people in fashion who work for free in exchange for expensive clothes and shoes. I know countless stylists who dress like a million bucks but cant pay their rent and are consistently borrowing money from people left and right. Steve further explained that our characters were already familiar with Brandon and we were expecting him. When he first arrived and I opened the door for him, Steve wanted me to look a certain way when I saw Brandon. He wanted me to have a look as if saying, Oh yeah, you again. Of course. I even had Steve be me so I could see what he wanted my face to look like. He was very fun, patient, and gave clear direction. The actual filming of the infamous scene was a closed set. It was just five of us, including Steve and the cameraman. During the shoot, Steve pretty much let us three do our thing and every now and then he would ask one of us to switch sides for a better angle of our faces. As for conversations after this scene, well, we joked and laughed about whatever. We had some food. We talked about other films we liked, wanted to see, and I do remember asking Steve and Michael if they liked Lars Von Trier (cause I dont). They didnt. Michael did some impersonations of De Niro and I think Marlo Brando. It was pretty laid-back and comfortable, like friends hanging out.
I was told it was a retake, that the original scene was replaced with yours.
That was what our casting agent told us. They had already wrapped shooting months ago, but I guess some of the scenes (including ours) didnt work out, so Steve came back to NYC with the cast and crew and re-shot them.
Nicole Beharie was on set with us that day too, but I dont know what scene she was working on. I also dont know who were in the first threesome scene. They didnt really talk about it and we didnt really care cause we were there to kill it!

Good read. I love how these girls keep spilling the beans. Fabulous.
I get the feeling after reading the script that perhaps half of Nicole's scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Such a pity.
