Is Sharon Stone Open to Revisiting 'Basic Instinct' in a Reboot?
The actress finally answers the question that worries all of us.
Sharon Stone recently spoke with Today’s Craig Melvin about the idea of revisiting Basic Instinct, and honestly, I get her skepticism. The direct sequel, Basic Instinct 2, didn’t do well at the box office, and Stone herself isn’t exactly rushing back.
She said:"If it goes the way the one I was in went, then I would just say I do not know why you would do it. Go ahead. Good fucking luck! [laughs]. I’m at that stage in my life where I already retired once. And I already died a couple times. I’m like, 'What are you going to do? Kill me again? Go ahead."'
Why Sharon Stone Is Skeptical About Revisiting Basic Instinct
And I totally agree. If it’s going to be something like the original — or even a bold new take — I’d be curious. Basic Instinct has such a strong legacy, and any new project would need to honor that while adding something fresh.
Sharon’s sharp, edgy energy is exactly what keeps the character unforgettable, and that’s why a proper return could actually work.
What Fans Could Expect from a New Basic Instinct
Honestly, if a new Basic Instinct happens, I’d watch it. The mix of suspense, clever twists, and Sharon’s confidence could make it exciting — as long as it’s done right.
