I\u2019ve been naked on stage. I think what was especially daunting is that you didn\u2019t know how it was going to pan out. Because literally, the description was just dancing in the rain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corrin continued: \u201cAnd we chose not to choreograph it because we wanted that spontaneity. I\u2019m glad we didn\u2019t, but it also did mean that like it was completely up to us in the moment of what we did, and like we just had to sort of dive in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Connell said: \u201cI was having kittens about that. I didn\u2019t know how it was gonna unfold. But I think thankfully, I feel like we got to a place that was freeing and liberating, but you know, still made sense as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Lady\" chatterley=\"\" lover=\"\" official=\"\" trailer=\"\" netflix=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZOkXE3B0pDA?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Speaking about crafting the scene, director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre explained that Corrin responded very well to the material and immediately let her know that they really wanted to do the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like, \u2018Welcome on board!&#8217;\u201d the director said. \u201cIt\u2019s so amazing because I feel like this specific, iconic scene translates so much ecstatic freedom and it\u2019s so liberating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we had the same feeling toward that scene as kind of a central piece of the film. [With] Jack, the same idea as well, obviously, you know, it was like this is definitely scary. But it\u2019s this kind of moment where you need to go through it because you need to break some blocks, you know, and really have this sensation of freedom and liberation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we rehearsed it with the intimacy coordinator and then they found their own dance and spontaneity. And it was like kind of two animals recognising each other being from the same nature.\u201d<\/p> <p>Interestingly, one member of the supporting cast was very familiar with this scene. Joely Richardson, who stars as Mrs Bolton in the new film, had previously played the lead role opposite Sean Bean in a 1993 BBC adaptation of the novel \u2013 and was able to share a few stories about her own experiences on set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was trying to keep it really, really quiet and hoping that no one would know, so I didn\u2019t say a thing,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd then at my first costume fitting \u2013 which, ironically, was in the same place I had my costume fitting all those years ago \u2013 I was like, \u2018Oh, gosh, things have really changed.\u2019 And that was a funny moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then I said nothing. And [on] day two, Emma and I were having a cup of tea and they said to me, \u2018You played Lady Chatterley.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Oh, no. I mean, yes, maybe,\u2019 just trying to sort of fudge it. They were really lovely and curious about it and I really only shared funny stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richardson continued:\u00a0\u201cThe very, very famous scene of Connie and Mellors dancing in the rain, my story with Sean Bean was quite particular. Because it\u2019s a quintessential moment in the book or film or TV and in our version, when we do the wild dancing naked in the rain, there was a double-decker bus that was going past, so the people on the top level could see over the wall to this crazy film crew getting up to hijinks! And I\u2019d share stories like that if asked, but otherwise, I kept my mouth shut.\u201d<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6316459789112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p>Corrin, when asked if they\u2019d looked to Richardson for advice on playing Lady Chatterley, explained: \u201cI think it was important that I created my own [version of the character]. And I think she really understood that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it was a very nice presence and energy to have \u2013 it felt like a passing down of something and I think it emphasised these parts of Mrs Bolton\u2019s character that really cared and emphasised with Connie and what she was going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director de Clermont-Tonnerre added:\u00a0\u201cThe fact that she knew so well the material was very exciting. Because she obviously is coming to this story, through another angle \u2013 that was really interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember that we did the first reading and Joely brought a lot of ambiguity and strangeness and sense of humour. And that\u2019s because I feel she knew so well all the relationships with the characters and she brought something very fresh about Mrs Bolton\u2019s struggle between her class, between her environment and the camaraderie that she really feels for Connie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover is currently streaming <a href=\"\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/title\/81476441&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a>. <a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
