MUMBAI: Renowned actress Uma Thurman has been signed up to star in Lars Von Trier‘s sordid sexual drama Nymphomaniac. The 42-year-old actress will star in the controversial new film alongside Shia LaBeouf that will be laced with real life sex scenes.
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Bell, Stellan Skarsgard and Christian Slater have also been cast in the film. However, it is not yet known which role Uma Thurman will play.
Charlotte Gainsbourg stars as self-confessed sex addict Joe, who is rescued by a kind stranger (Skarsgard) after she is left badly beaten in an alleyway. Joe then recounts her past misadventures and sordid sexual history from birth until the age of 50.
Shia LaBeouf recently said that the cast has signed up for engaging in real sex scenes on camera which he was willing to do for the sake of his art.
The film will be available in two versions - hardcore and softcore - when it releases in 2013.
