Director Tamahori dares producers and censors to keep steamy scenes

The August 13th 2002 issue of Vanity Fair will feature a huge Bond special with interviews of cast and crew, along with a lot of new photographs.

ET Online have released a snippet of the interview "Die Another Day" director Lee Tamahori gave to the magazine:

"I`ll be very disappointed if it turns out the same old Bond," he tells the magazine.

In fact, Tamahori was so intent on pushing the envelope that he put Bond in the middle of a steamy love scene, daring the censors to leave it in.

"In lovemaking, Bond`s PG requirements have traditionally meant you can only show post-coital sex," he says. "You know, clothes strewn around the room, the camera slowly pans over to the bed... But we thought, why couldn`t Bond have the best lay of his life? So we shot a very hot love scene. Whether it survives the censor`s cut -- or the producers -- we`ll see."
