The Reader Delayed Sex Scenes

During the production of The Reader (2008), the filmmakers faced a legal and ethical issue with the sex scenes between Kate Winslet and David Kross, who was only 17 at the start of shooting. To avoid filming explicit material with a minor, they scheduled and delayed those scenes until after Kross had celebrated his 18th birthday. Once he was legally an adult, they shot the intimate sequences.
