Trailer Bulletin: Basic Instinct 2

by | February 15, 2006 | Comments

We’ve been hearing about the possibility of a "Basic Instinct" sequel for several years now, and the thing’s finally finished with and ready for release. It stars an older, but still plainly sexy, Sharon Stone as femme fatale Catherine Trammell, who is once again suspected of committing a sex-related murder. Click here for the trailer (while wondering why this flick isn’t going direct-to-video).

"Novelist Catherine Tramell is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Glass to evaluate her. Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and lured into a seductive game."

Written by Henry Bean ("Internal Affairs") and Leora Barish ("Desperately Seeking Susan") and directed by Michael Caton-Jones ("Rob Roy"), "Basic Instinct 2" stars Sharon Stone, David Morrissey, David Thewlis, Hugh Dancy, and Charlotte Rampling.

(Interesting to note that the producers were so adamant about letting you know about Ms. Stone’s newest crotch-shot that they included it in the trailer, but only before jamming a huge black box over the offending body region. Movie marketing is a crazy profession, I’m tellin’ ya.)
