Actresses Eva Longoria and Kate Del
Castillo make out in the upcoming comedy Without Men.
In the film, the women of a Latin
American village are left to fend for themselves after all the men,
with the exception of the town's priest (played by Oscar Nunez), are
recruited against their will to fight in an ongoing civil war.
Christian Slater plays an American journalist looking for the town.
The 36-year-old Longoria stars in the
ABC dramedy Desperate Housewives. Castillo, 36, is a Mexican
actress best known for her work in Spanish-language soap operas. In
recent years, she has attempted crossing over into American films,
most notably in the 2006 film Bordertown, which starred
Jennifer Lopez, Antonio Banderas and Martin Sheen.
In a restricted trailer for Without
Men, Longoria's character is seen rallying the women to work
together.
Her question, “What do we women do
best?” is followed by a montage of women making out, including
Longoria caressing Castillo and gently kissing her chest. (The
trailer is embedded in the right panel of this page.)
“It was a little difficult as the two
girls are both straight so they were very nervous and laughed a lot,”
Director Gabriela Tagliavini told Fox's culture blog Pop
Tarts. “But I think that just made it even lovelier.
[Female audiences] don't want to watch porn, so it was all very
sensual, both are very beautiful women aside from being incredibly
funny.”
“Eva,” she added, “is more sexy
here than in Desperate Housewives.”
The film is based on the James Canon
novel Tales from the Town of Widows. In Canon's novel, a
withdrawn gay man also lives among the women.
