34 Years Later, One of the Most Iconic Erotic Thrillers Is Getting a Reboot With Original Character Returning
Basic Instinctwas one of the breakout hits of 1992, earning $352 million at the worldwide box office and turning Sharon Stone into a major movie star. In 2006, Stone returned to play the manipulative (and possibly homicidal) author Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction. Neither original writer Joe Eszterhas nor director Paul Verhoeven came back for the sequel, which tanked at the box office, making only $38 million worldwide.
