Lucas hopes family & friends miss his new film

Actor Josh Lucas is trying to ban family and friends from seeing his new movie - because it's too dark, and he bears his butt a little too much.

The Sweet Home Alabama star admits he has played down his work on new movie Death In Love, in which he plays a sick misogynist who treats women terribly, and he hopes those close to him give the film a miss at the box office.

He says, "Not many people in my life have seen this movie yet. There have been very few screenings... I think everyone is aware that I have done something that is artistically extremely risky and balls out! I think they also know it was an experiment to see how free and fearless I could be."

And after such a dark role, Lucas is now on the search for a comedy: "I'm really glad I did this, but I would really love to do another Sweet Home Alabama now!"
