Magic Mike’s Last Dance filmmaker Steven Soderbergh defended the lack of nudity in the franchise’s trilogy.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, the filmmaker said, “To me, it’s about ****,” adding, “It’s not about the ***, per se, and whether the movie is explicit. There’s no nudity in ‘Out of Sight.’ There’s no nudity in ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance.’ There’s not even a thong. And yet, it was our desire to make a **** movie.”
“What’s sexy is intimacy and genuine emotion. Something that feels alive and electric, and has the potential for vulnerability. That can be ****,” Soderbergh added.
Soderberg’s final offering to the Magic Mike franchise has derived mixed responses from critics. The film bagged a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes currently.
Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek-starrer film focus on the duo on their efforts to put on a male revue at a London theater.
