After years of “development hell” Basic Instinct 2 (hilariously subtitled “Risk Addiction“) finally got released in 2006. It was at least 10 years too late.

By 2006, Basic Instinct and Stone had become punchlines. Absolutely no one had any interest in a sequel. Replacing Michael Douglas with David Morissey couldn’t have helped. And neither did the toxic reviews. However, Stone did win one last Golden Raspberry for the role.

Basic Instinct 2 bombed and killed any hopes of a third film. Sharon Stone continues to work. But she can be seen primarily on TV where she spent so long paying her dues. Her days as an A-list movie star are definitely behind her.

I read she is trying to buy the rights to BI3 and direct it herself.

This conjures an image of an ageing Stone struggling to aim a large camera up her skirt.

She was no longer an A-listers a long time ago even in the late 90s no one gives a sh*t about her..

Since Quick And The Dead and Casino came out she hasn't been in anything of quality in years.

She was known for one type of role and in particular one scene and people became bored with her.
