British director Emerald Fennell has denied that she is in negotiations to helm Amazon’s planned reboot of the 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Joe Eszterhas — who wrote the screenplay for the original cult classic directed by Paul Verhoeven, starring Sharon Stone as a crime novelist suspected of murdering a rock star — claimed that Fennell was “in negotiations” to direct his nearly completed screenplay for the remake.
