The interiors of spacecraft are highly controlled environments and can be adjusted to meet the whims of the occupants.
This makes clothing for anything other than technical reasons (protection from chemicals, physical abrasion, radiation etc.) superfluous.
The concept is therefore to make a serious
dramatic movie where the performers are typically unclothed, not for any reason of sexuality but simply because in that environment clothing is not needed.
Some caution would be needed in casting as the majority of humans look better when covered up.
Almost nude space movie.

Jane Fonda zero-g strip scene, tastefully censored by the moving titles. [xenzag, Nov 04 2019]

It would boost the sale of sanitary wipes, I bet. |

//protection from chemicals, physical abrasion, radiation // ; place to put your phaser, hammer, cellphone ; temperature regulation. |
|
| |
So, the premise would be a hot location where the humans don't actually do anything. |
|
| |
// place to put your phaser, hammer, cellphone ; temperature regulation. // |
|
| |
Inside a ship, temperature regulation shouldn't be an issue. Yes, toolbelts etc., and probably footwear. A belt or some sort of padded harness, like military combat webbing would suffice. |

This seems like a rather creepy way to watch naked people.
Moreovermore, I think people in general prefer to wear
clothes since (a) most people are somewhat modest, even
amongst close friends and colleagues. This is why, for
example, most offices are not clothing-optional (b) normal
clothing provides sufficient mechanical and thermal
protection against day-to-day encounters with the physical
world (c) if you're going to wear enough belts and pouches
to replace a regular set of clothes, why not just wear
clothes? and (d) as you noted, most humans are better when
covered up; nor do I want to see even a fit bloke floating
and dangling in zero-G. |

//..probably footwear.//
Why? I've always thought barefoot would be better in zero-g.
Toes to hold on, manoeuvre (huh, Google Chrome couldn't
spell "manoeuvre") about the place, even hold things on
occasion. (Disclaimer: I'm a climber (trees, rocks, whatever)
and my feet are quite prehensile.) |
|
| |
Given that many species have had prehensile tails and feet for
millions of years, it's surprising how few of them have evolved
to become hensile. |
|
| |
You proceed from a false assumption. Human skin sheds cells at the rate
of 30 to 90 milligrams per hour. Squamously, that's up to 5000 m^2 per
day. It also exudes solid, liquid, and gaseous excreta consisting of
thousands of different chemical species - many, even most, currently not
identified. |
|
| |
Also, there's the fact that physical well-being in microgravity requires a
fairly large amount of exercise to retain bone and muscle mass. This is
hampered by the reciprocation of unrestrained anatomical parts, may be
painful by way of recurrent impact, or dangerous by lack of precise control
for balance. |
|
| |
Before you claim you look fine without exercising, allow us to beg you not
show your - er, evidence. |
|
| |
//up to 5000 m^2 per day// Uh, OK, you're telling me that
the average person sheds 5000 square metres of skin per day? |
|
| |
I think not. If it's ~100mg/hr (which is possible), that equates
to about 0.25 square metres, if arranged in a layer 1 cell
thick. |

We didn't say anything about free-fall. You could have the same environmental conditions on a submarine. |
|
| |
// We didn't say anything about free-fall. You could have

right. I thought the reference to "space movie" in the title
and "spacecraft" in the idea text meant something to do with
space and/or spacecraft. |
|
| |
Just because you're in space doesn't mean you have to put up with the inconvenience of free-fall, unless you're lazy and stupid ... oh, yeah, humans, right ... |
|
| |
True, I suppose you could be in one of those space submarines
we keep seeing everywhere. |
|
| |
Incidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior
design"? |
|
| |
Because there aren't many* aerospace engineers who mince in and say "Ooooh, my dear ! Not THOSE curtains with THAT rug ..." |
|
| |
*An estimated based on observational evidence can be extrapolated to indicate that "not many" where many > x >= 0 solves as x = 0 with a 99.9% confidence. |

What would it be called? Stark Trek? |
|

//Stark Trek// Brilliant, [xenzag]! |
|

//Given that many species have had prehensile tails and feet

|
| |
//We didn't say anything about free-fall// |
|
| |
No you didn't, so are we presumming some form of anti-
gravity or will it be freefall? |
|
| |
//the majority of humans look better when covered up// |
|
| |
hmm... given zero-g as a norm, I'd imagine standards of "beauty" would change over time, probably trending towards bald and spherical. |
|
| |
The idea of [MB] embarking on a career as a supermodel is really quite disturbing. |
|
| |
// bald and spherical //
It would make physics easier.
"Assume the person is a sphere..." |
|
| |
Ah nude-space movie, not nude space-movie. Too bad. Kate Upton looks good floating around in free fall wearing only a gold bikini. [link] |
|
| |
Why not just have live cam space porn? -
Barbarella came close. |
|
| |
I assumed that zero-g would be an important part
of this, with random objects floating at convenient
positions in frame. I may have been wrong. |

|

We didn't "drag" them, they sneaked in of their own accord. |
|
| |
And I suppose they brought their own stockings? You should
be ashamed of yourself. |
