Alex still won’t be ignored. Aside from that, some things have changed since the 1987 film “Fatal Attraction” first struck the fear of retribution into every cheating hubby’s um, heart.
As such, the series of the same name that starts streaming at the end of April will use the movie’s plot as a “jumping-off point” for a more modern spin on the story rather than a faithful remake, co-star Lizzy Caplan told ET Online.
Caplan plays jilted lover Alex Forrest to Joshua Jackson’s philandering Dan Gallagher, the role originated by Michael Douglas. Unlike the movie, this story opens with Gallagher attempting to take responsibility for his actions in the affair after being convicted of Forrest’s murder. He has already spent 15 years behind bars.
