In the end, McNaughton removed the sexual sparks from the scene after some pushback.
Both Bacon and Dillon have discussed the almost-romance between their characters over the years.
“I thought it was great because the whole movie is about secrets coming out, right?
As reveals go, that one was just huge,” he said.
“Unfortunately, the financiers didn’t like the idea of men making out.
They felt it went too far.
They felt it wasn’t right.”
Dillon had a different take on it.
“Man,I was relieved when they got rid of that scene,” he toldTotal Filmin 2005.
“Kevin seemed pretty attached to it, though!”
