A series of flops from Diabolique to Gloria long ago proved that Sharon Stone can’t open a movie. But the folks behind Basic Instinct 2 hope her vagina still can.
The long-delayed sequel to Stone’s lone box office hit was reportedly only made because producers - facing a lawsuit from Stone when the project looked like it wouldn’t happen - decided it would be cheaper and easier just to make the damn movie.
BI2’s entire marketing campaign does what all the best sequel marketing campaigns do: It takes the thing people remember best about the original, and makes it clear that every frame of the sequel revolves around it. In this case, that thing is Sharon’s lady parts.
Take this interview, in which Sharon insists that the sequel’s increased nudity was all her idea. Or this widely circulated, totally porny promo reel. All this from the woman who still maintains that Paul Verhoeven “tricked” her into doing the original’s notorious vag-flash.
Rumor has it that if Basic Instinct 2 is a hit, Sharon’s vagina will start commanding $20 million a picture, putting it in a similar salary range as Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon.
And they say there are no good women’s parts in the movies.
More sex! More nudity! More kinky! [Telegraph]

awwww, don’t be so harsh! ss was good in, she was good in, in, in…total recall! i liked when she almost successfully beat the crap out of the ahnoldnator. or what’s fun name for arnold that’s not been done before. i know. dead!
my take on sharon stone: she’s cher without the comebacks.
When exactly did Sharon Stone develop that crazy, “one eye bigger than the other” stare? She looks like Teri Hatcher. Or that crazy teacher from “Daria.” Or both.
If you want to really go far enough back, you can catch Ms. Stone is a classic 80s masterpiece, Irreconcilable Differences, with Shelley Long, Ryan O’Neill, and a youthful but drugged out Drew Barrymore. She played a young engenue actress who, you guessed it, was willing to bare all for the camera. Even more classic was she in the movie-within-a-movie unofficial musical tribute to Gone With the Wind…
Classic song lyrics, please…
“this, civil war
ain’t gonna get, me down…”
“I’m moving my act,
to a brand, new town…”
“This belle,
got burned in old Atlanta…”
“Now I’m gonna have
to find myself a brand new centah!”
That was all we did end up seeing, but it was still better than Sliver…
yet somehow i think if i met her i’d totally be drawn into her madness …
