Choreographing Gay Sex for Hollywood

You know how it is: Your phone rings and there's a producer begging you to arrange a gay orgy for Scorsese because, uh, quote, that's "not really in Marty’s wheelhouse." So you do The Wolf of Wall Street. Then Ryan Murphy asks you to get Matt Bomer and Mark Ruffalo to hook-up more naturally. One of your guides for those Normal Heart romps is Tom Bianchi's book Fire Island Pines, Polaroids 1975-1983. So it goes if you're Michael Arnold, the choreographer whose niche is sex scenes. Deadline interviews him about his "trust exercises" with the stars, and more. (photos: movie above, book below)
