Subservience director S.K. Dale has revealed how he was able to pull off the sci-fi thriller's raunchy sex scenes featuring Megan Fox.

In her latest role, Fox revisits the world of robots by playing the role of Alice, a revolutionary AI droid designed to help families around the home. She is purchased by the Peretti family after wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) falls ill with a devastating heart condition, leaving husband Nick (Michele Morrone) and daughter Isla (Matilda Firth) in need of extra support around the house.

However, things soon go awry when Alice develops an intense romantic obsession with Nick, highlighting the many potential dangers of self-aware AI.

Watch the trailer for Subservience below:

The film's deadly attraction naturally leads to some pretty raunchy moments between Fox and Morrone's characters, with one particularly risqué moment seeing Alice blindfold Nick before transforming her voice into Maggie's in order to get him to have sex with her.

Opening up on what it was like to orchestrate the moment behind the scenes, Dale revealed that he leant on his already established working relationship with Fox - the pair previously worked together on 2021's Till Death - in order to pull the moment off.

"I really felt that she [Fox], with the intimate scenes and everything, having built that trust from the first film with her, I thought, well, that's a really great way to kind of build a safe environment for us to explore these intimate scenes and try and shoot something that felt unique," Dale explained to TooFab in a recent interview.

Expanding on how Fox, Morrone, and Zima were able to pull off the blindfold scene in particular, he continued: "There are certain aspects to these intimate scenes that are kind of different from others, where we're intercutting with different actors back and forth.

"So we needed them to be on set together and kind of watching to make sure we were imitating what was being seen and everything."

The director also added that an intimacy co-ordinator had been present on set during the filming of these scenes, which allowed everyone on set to feel 'really safe'.

"For me, that is also a vital point, is making sure that it's not day one, you're throwing them in the deep end with a scene like this," he said.

Originally released back in August, Subservience has so far received mixed reviews from both fans and critics - receiving a reaction of 50 percent on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

Several responses saw viewers praise the cautionary approach to AI, while more critical reactions labelled the plot 'predictable' and 'run of the mill'.
