Lars von Triers neste film Nymphomaniac, som handler om kvinnens erotiske fødsel, starter innspillingen sommeren 2012. Det bekrefter Zentropa-produsenten Peter Aalbæk Jensen overfor Screen. I likhet med de fleste von Trier-filmene, vil også denne filmen foregå på engelsk. Filmen vil følge “the erotic life of a woman from the age of zero to the age of 50″. Produsenten forteller at filmen vil bli delt opp i hele åtte kapitler. Kapitlene har titler som The Western and Eastern Church og The Little Organ School. Filmen kommer etter alt å dømme til å bli vist i en mildere og sensurert versjon i enkelte land.

– He (Von Trier) is really keen on doing this thing. I think that this will be a very amusing film also, very erotic but very funny also, I guess we have something which could generate some press attention. How pornographic it will be, that we have to see in terms of what financing dictates, forteller produsenten.

Også denne von Trier-filmen vil bli spilt inn utenfor Danmark.

– That’s the burden of coming from a shitty little country. We have to put the financing together in bits and pieces and shoot where people are generous enough to support Lars. We always have been shooting in Sweden or in Germany and have had some extremely valuable backing from (regional funds) Film I Vast and North-Rhine Westphalia. We will either shoot or do post-production in one of these regions.
