"Basic Instinct" writer Joe Eszterhas is writing an "anti-woke" reboot of the film for Amazon MGM, with Sharon Stone expected to return.

Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone starred in director Paul Verhoeven ‘s original Basic Instinct. It centers on a detective (Douglas) who connects with a writer (Stone) as she becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a wealthy musician.

Basic Instinct (1992) writer Joe Eszterhas is returning to pen a not-yet-titled reboot of the Paul Verhoeven-helmed box office hit, which starred Michael Douglas as Detective Nick Curran and Sharon Stone as his case’s seductive prime suspect Catherine Tramell, a manipulative crime novelist.
