Emerald Fennell denies she's directing 'anti-woke' Basic Instinct
"Emerald Fennell's team called the report untrue, stating she is 'not involved in any way,' while Amazon described the claim as 'categorically false.'"
"Eszterhas, who wrote the original 1992 thriller, is reportedly working on a reboot for Amazon, though details remain limited."
"The reboot itself has already stirred conversation, with early reports describing it as 'anti-woke.'"
"Eszterhas believes Hollywood is too polite, stating, 'People are terrified of confrontation and disagreement. That's a communication loss. That's a human loss.'"
Emerald Fennell is not involved in the reboot of Basic Instinct, despite claims made by screenwriter Joe Eszterhas. Both Fennell's representatives and Amazon have denied these rumors. Eszterhas, who wrote the original film, is reportedly working on the reboot, which has already generated controversy. The original film faced criticism for its portrayal of women, with some labeling it misogynistic. Eszterhas believes Hollywood is overly cautious about confrontation and disagreement, which he views as detrimental to communication.
