Gugino thinks that perceptions of the increasingly mainstream world of adult film are shifting dramatically. She needed to be bare of the classic look of the porn star – I just wanted her at some point to be unencumbered by the fake lashes, sort of stripped down so that she could have this moment where she breaks down, where she's really kind of starting over for real. That's obviously more kind of lascivious – and humorous, too – but physically it's very non-revealing. “We wanted her to be stripped of any of the kind of attachments, because you see all the fake porn stuff that we do in the movie. “We wanted her to be much more like a little girl,” says Gugino of the sequence. In fact, her only nude scene comes at a crucial dramatic moment when Elektra has a vision of the Virgin Mary (played by Julianne Moore) while in the bathtub. It was a fun experiment, definitely, but everything got pushed to its limit.”īefore Gugino-obsessed fanboys break into a sweat, it should be noted that the actress’ porn-y scenes are limited to send-ups of the trailers. It doesn't read.' I realized that the largeness of the responses and everything has to be so heightened. “But I did realize my propensity for subtlety in doing those particular sequences, because I would look at playback and I would be like, 'It's too subtle. “We watched a bunch of porn trailers, because the great thing about porn trailers is that they can't show anything and it's hilarious because it's just bad dialogue and looks and winks,” Gugino explains.

But she quickly discovered that the San Fernando Valley’s film industry might not have embraced her talents in the same way Hollywood’s has. Gugino returns to the complicated, sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious story of the well-intentioned Luxx, part of a planned trilogy of micro-budgeted but star-powered films (co-stars include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Timothy Olyphant, Connie Britton, and Josh Brolin) from maverick writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez. Now that she’s played porn queen Elektra Luxx in two films (2009's ' Women in Trouble' and now 'Elektra Luxx,' opening in limited release today), Carla Gugino made a startling confession to PopcorBiz:
