The cast of "The Bold and the Beautiful" announced that they will use physical dolls as well as real actors for intimate scenes in the show after a new coronavirus period forced them to postpone filming until mid-March. Notably, "The Bold and the Beautiful" is the first TV series that will resume production at TV City in Los Angeles. These bold and imaginative moves were allowed in order to comply with government protocols for coronaviruses.
Sex Dolls for Bell
According to Bradley Bell, the show's executive producer and head writer, they cut all intimate scenes when reviewing the script. As a result, the story seemed bland and uninteresting. For that reason, they tried to come up with a way to make the intimate scenes work without violating the protocols during the new crown. He added that they posed the doll to look real. So, they decided to use it in intimate scenes instead of some of the female leads. Also, there is only one physical doll actor at the moment, but they plan to add more dolls depending on the results of the shoot.
The Cast Plans To Invest In More Physical Dolls
Bell said they will see how the physical dolls will work in the shooting. If it works well enough, they plan to invest in more female dolls, or male dolls. As of now, they are searching a lot of scouting and are looking for Hollywood related material to find what is available. The Bold and the Beautiful is popular for its vivid, intimate scenes. Bell said they plan to use the spouses of some of the actors in the show to shoot some scenes. He said they had an idea that it would be a real problem if the actors in the show couldn't touch and hug each other in the scenes. Therefore, they contacted some of the actors' partners and asked them to act as stand-ins in intimate scenes, and some of the actors' partners were interested. Bell also admitted that although they had doubles before, this was the first time they had kissing doubles.
The kissing doubles will be tested to ensure they are not carriers of the new coronavirus. The production will also make sure the husband and wife are comfortable kissing in front of the camera. Bell also added that there will be some very passionate kissing scenes in the show. To make the kissing doubles look like the real leading man or woman, they will use some camera tricks and editing. The production staff will make sure the couple can be comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and will test the two kissing men to make sure they are not carriers of the new coronavirus. Bell also added that there will be some very hot scenes in the show, and they will use some camera tricks and editing in order to make the stand-ins look like the real hero or heroine.
Filming Actors Don't Know When To Reshoot
According to Bell, they last filmed on March 13. At that time, they thought the filming of the show would only last a few weeks. He said they didn't know how long the new crown would last and that he had been in touch with the production team and trying to craft a script to plan how they would resume filming in the midst of the viral epidemic.
During the meeting, he said, he was writing memos and said he thought they could restart filming on May 1 and then adjust it to May 15 and June 15. In the end, they came up with a solid plan that would allow them to continue filming despite the embargo. The production team and cast of "The Bold and the Beautiful" took the proper precautions. They also made sure to follow state, county and industry association guidelines such as the Directors Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild and the Federation of Television and Radio Entertainers. Bell said they were limited in number for each shoot. The team also reconfigured the control booths to separate directors from each other with a glass partition, while the lighting crew, on the other hand, was moved to an auxiliary room.
The Impact Of Covid-19 On The Film Industry
The entire crew seemed to have thoroughly planned all safety measures before setting a date to restart filming. The film industry was severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. While some industries could allow their workers to work from home, the film industry was different and had no choice but to stop all film shoots and upcoming movies until the coronavirus pandemic was over. During the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic, it wreaked havoc on the production schedule of movies and many of the film industry's major franchises. The films Fantastic Beasts 3, Jurassic World 3, The Matrix 4, Batman Begins and Mission Impossible 7 are just a few of the films whose production was delayed or suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is not only major productions that are affected by this epidemic; independent films that rely on the festival for public recognition are also facing a real threat. But despite all the difficulties, the Cannes Film Festival has not been officially cancelled. However, with the embargo on countries, it seems only a matter of time before it is finally cancelled.
