Sharon Stone<\/a> signaled she has no interest in a planned reboot of Basic Instinct<\/a>, saying on NBC<\/a>\u2019s Today that she doesn\u2019t \u201cknow why you\u2019d do it,\u201d then adding, \u201cgo ahead, but good f\u2014ing luck.\u201d The remarks arrive a month after Amazon MGM<\/a>\u2019s United Artists<\/a> set a new version in motion with original screenwriter Joe Eszterhas<\/a> writing and producer Scott Stuber<\/a> attached. Coverage of the package has described the project as \u201canti-woke,\u201d a framing that has already stirred debate around a title long associated with controversy.<\/p>\n

Stone\u2019s skepticism is rooted in franchise history. The 1992 film was a hit yet drew protests from LGBTQ+ groups over its portrayal of bisexuality, while the 2006 sequel underperformed and was widely panned. Box office comparisons circulating in recent reporting cite a domestic gross of $117.7 million for the original and $5.9 million for the sequel, figures Stone referenced in making her point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharon Stone signaled she has no interest in a planned reboot of Basic Instinct, saying on NBC\u2019s Today…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[28267,28268,6491,24823,96,11943,123,2839,50,1588,3133,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-77268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-actors","tag-actresses","tag-celebrities","tag-directors","tag-entertainment","tag-films","tag-hollywood","tag-movies","tag-news","tag-stars","tag-television","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
