Carla Gugino's only nude scene in the film comes at a crucial dramatic moment when Elektra has a vision of the Virgin Mary (played by Julianne Moore) while in the bathtub."We wanted her to be much more like a little girl," says Gugino of the sequence. "We wanted her to be stripped of any of the kind of attachments, because you see all the fake porn stuff that we do in the movie. That's obviously more kind of lascivious - and humorous, too - but physically it's very non-revealing. She needed to be bare of the classic look of the porn star - I just wanted her at some point to be unencumbered by the fake lashes, sort of stripped down so that she could have this moment where she breaks down, where she's really kind of starting over for real. So it was really intentional."
