Advisor, Directed by Ridley Scott, based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy. The film features a star-studded cast including Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Penelope Cruz.
However, it did not perform well at the domestic box office and received a low rating of 37 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is already infamous for Cameron Diaz’s Ferrari sex scene. But while filming the film, Diaz encountered another problem.
The actress’s character in the film originally had a thin Barbadian accent, but she initially voiced it with a Rihanna-style accent. Fox executives didn’t like the choice and later forced her to repeat her lines. Despite these efforts, the film was not a success.

Cameron Diaz had to dub her lines due to problems with her accent.
Actress Cameron Diaz has received a lot of attention (both good and bad) for her bold role in Advisor. However, she had to face some challenges during production as she had to re-cast her role in the film. Why? Because, according to studio executives, she looked too much like Rihanna.
Her character was supposed to have a gentle Barbadian accent. But when Fox executives listened to her speak, they were surprised that she sounded just like Rihanna (who has a thick accent). That’s why they made her re-record her lines.
Diaz (who was 41 years old at the time) played the role of Malkina in the film, a vile woman with a complicated history who is in a relationship with Reiner, a drug lord. This is not for Diaz. There was also a scene in the film involving the actress that was too controversial.

Scandalous scene with Cameron Diaz Advisor
Controversial sex scene in Advisor happened at night in the middle of a golf course on the roof of a Ferrari California HS. Malkina (Cameron Diaz) tells her drug dealer lover Reiner (Bardem) that she wants to “fuck (his) car.
She then proceeds to do just that as Reiner looks at her in confusion. “It was too gynecological to be sexy—almost.” – said Reiner.
The controversial scene sparked controversy, with many critics expressing concern over its derogatory framing and underlying misogynistic elements. Although perhaps it was intended to convey something more complex than simple objectification. However, the scene was criticized for the way it presented its content.
Additionally, the film was highly anticipated as it brought Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem (who are married) together on screen for the first time since 2008. Vicky Christina Barcelona. It also reunited Brad Pitt with director Ridley Scott for the first time since 1991. Thelma and Louise.
