The racy, two-part film "Nymphomaniac" by Lars von Trier will bring its borderline pornographic images to theaters spring 2014.
Magnolia Pictures has officially announced von Trier's work was cut into two films, according to Deadline. "Nymphomaniac: Part 1" will premiere on-demand on March 6, 2014 and open to theaters on March 21. The second part will be released on-demand on April 3, 2014 and hit theaters April 18.
Check out Deadline's film descriptions below:
The first film tells the story of Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who is badly beaten and left in an alley. She's helped by an older bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), who takes her into his home. As he tends to her wounds, she recounts the erotic story of her adolescence and young-adulthood (portrayed in flashback by Stacy Martin). This film stars Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Connie Nielsen and Udo Kier. The second part focuses on Joe's adulthood and stars Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and Jean-Marc Barr in addition to Gainsbourg, Skarsgård, Martin and LaBeouf.

The film recently made headlines when a trailer was accidentally shown to a theater audience expecting to see the Disney film "Frozen." According to FOX 13 News, the Regal Cinemas Park Place Stadium 16 in Pinellas Park, Fla was experiencing technical difficulites before the graphic images came up on screen.
"They put in the filler, it looked like 'Steamboat Willie,' the old Mickey Mouse cartoon, and then all of a sudden it goes into this other scene," Lynn Greene, a movie-goer who brought her grandchildren, told FOX 13.
Parents began rushing their children out of the theater once they realized what was happening.
"It seemed like forever when you're trying to, you know, cover a little guy's eyes," Greene added. "I didn't have enough hands to cover his ears too and he got the sound down real good."
The cinema offered the "Frozen" audience and confirmed it was an isolated incident. Read more about the cinema's mistake here.
