In a recent group interview, James Cameron has revealed that, when making '
Avatar', he shot a sex scene between two Na'vi characters. "We had it in and we cut it out," said Cameron, "so that will be something for the special edition DVD, if you want to see how they have sex." Note that the text below contains spoilers to the plot of the movie.
At one point in the movie, the Na'vi avatar of Jake Sully has an intimate encounter with Neytiri, but very little is shown of that. Actress Zoe Saldana, who had said that she thinks Neytiri is "very sexy", went into the specifics of how the Na'vi "get their groove on", which turns out to be through the tendrils at the end of their ponytail-like tentacle.
Saldana explained: "If you sync to your banshee and you're syncing to a tree, why not sync into a person? I almost feel like you'll have the most amazing orgasm, I guess. It was a very funny scene to shoot because there were so many technical things that sometimes you have to keep in mind that paying attention to all those might disrupt the fluidity of how a scene is supposed to take place."
"And because Jim was shooting for a PG-13 rating, we couldn't move in certain directions," said also the actress. "The motion would look a little too past the PG-13 rating standards. So it was really funny for Sam [Worthington] and me. We had a lot of giggles there."
