Director Will Gluck significantly reduced nudity in his new romantic comedy, “One Night Only,” believing that depictions of sex on screen distract viewers from the story. The film centers around a premise where premarital sex is legal for one night each year.
Gluck has been responding to questions about the logic and details of the movie’s concept – which he compares to “The Purge,” but focused on sexual activity instead of violence. He explained his decision to cut back on nudity, stating, “It takes you out of the movie.”
The filmmaker believes that excessive displays of sex can be a distraction for audiences, hindering their ability to connect with the narrative and characters. While the premise itself is provocative—a yearly allowance of premarital sex—Gluck prioritized storytelling over explicit content in the final cut of “One Night Only”.
