Joe Eszterhas is set to write a reboot of the 1992 film Basic Instinct, described as anti-woke, under a deal with Amazon MGM. The agreement guarantees him a $2m fee, which will double to $4m if the film proceeds, marking it as the most profitable spec sale of the year. Eszterhas, 80, challenges ageist perceptions of his creativity, asserting his youthful enthusiasm for writing high-energy erotic thrillers. The return of Sharon Stone's character remains uncertain, following a commercially unsuccessful sequel in 2006.
"Joe Eszterhas, writing a reboot of Basic Instinct, has signed a lucrative deal with Amazon MGM, promising a $2m fee for the script and $4m if the film is produced."
"Eszterhas rebuffs age-related criticism, stating rumors of his creative impotence are exaggerated, emphasizing the vitality of his imagination and desire to create an engaging erotic thriller."
