Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson knew what they were getting into when they signed on to the reimagining of "Fatal Attraction" as a Paramount+ miniseries. The film was 1987's highest grosser; it received six Oscar nominations; it starred Oscar winner Michael Douglas and now-eight-time nominee Glenn Close in perhaps her most iconic role; it featured lines and moments that have entered the cultural lexicon.
And Caplan says of making a new version: "Everybody's initial reaction when anything so beloved is revisited is aversion."
So why reboil that bunny? You might say it was a drive for justice for the character Alex Forrest. And maybe justice to Dan Gallagher.
