S.K. Dale, the director of Subservience, has discussed how he managed to execute the explicit sex sequences with Megan Fox in the science fiction thriller.
Playing Alice, a ground-breaking AI droid created to assist families around the house, Fox returns to the world of robotics in her most recent role. She is bought by the Peretti family after husband Nick (Michele Morrone) and daughter Isla (Matilda Firth) require additional help around the house due to the death of wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) from a fatal heart disease.
But when Alice becomes deeply infatuated with Nick, things quickly go wrong, underscoring the numerous risks associated with self-aware AI.

Naturally, the film’s lethal attraction results in some really explicit scenes involving Fox and Morrone’s characters. One particularly risqué scene involves Alice blindfolding Nick before changing her voice to that of Maggie to get him to have sex with her.
Speaking candidly about the experience of planning the moment behind the scenes, Dale said that he relied on his preexisting collaboration with Fox—the two had previously collaborated on 2021’s Till Death—to make the moment happen.
“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 told TooFab in a recent interview.
