Lindsay Lohan's 'Canyons' has "spectacular sex scene", says Soderbergh
The erotic thriller, starring Lohan and porn actor James Deen, has received public criticism, most recently when it was reportedly rejected by the SXSW film festival over "quality issues".
In a recent New York Times article chronicling the film's troubled production, it was reported that the movie's producer Braxton Pope asked Soderbergh to look over director Paul Schrader's rough cut.
The piece goes on to describe Soderbergh offering to produce his own edit of the film, and Schrader rejecting the Magic Mike helmer's input.
Asked about the report by Indiewire, Soderbergh said: "I never wanted that to go beyond Paul. When that came out I just went, 'Oh god'.
"It's something ! that I have done for other people, and it's something that other people have done for me. So for me to have had that discussion wasn't unusual at all."
Soderbergh went on to say about the cut that he watched: "I really like what they did. I like the way they did it. I think it's fascinating, and there's a spectacular sex scene in it."
Incidents during The Canyons's rocky gestation have included a leak of Lohan instructing co-star Deen to "do [his] f**king job", and writer Bret Easton Ellis calling out Lohan for skipping work.
