New movie, Chloe (2009), already on release in many European countries, hits North American cinemas this week with mixed reviews. Chloe stars Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson; unfortunately, Liam Neeson was in the middle of filming for Chloe when his wife, Natasha Richardson, died suddenly following a skiing accident in March 2009. Although he went on to finish filming, some would say his heart was probably not into it – understandably.
Chloe tells the story of Julianne Moore, a wife who suspects her husband (played by Liam Neeson) of cheating and the escort (played by Amanda Seyfried) she hires to seduce him and report back to her. Julianne Moore becomes more and more transfixed by Amanda Seyfried’s tales and the movie takes an “unexpected turn”.
Chloe is being touted for its steamy sex scenes, particularly those between Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried, but it is nothing that hasn’t been done before; Chloe is based on the earlier French movie Nathalie (2003). When asked if she would talk to her husband about cheating in real life, Julianne Moore reports to Showbizspy:
“I don’t know what I would do…..But I can’t tell you the phone calls I’ve gotten from married women I know who say ‘ Listen, I have to talk to you because I think my husband is with someone.’”
She added:
“I think we turn to our girlfriends instead of confronting our husbands. That’s just postphoning the inevitable.”
