She’s actually sixty something, and looks good, but there is more interesting Sharon Stone news today:
“According to Sharon Stone there’s a more explicit version of her hit film “Basic Instinct” on the way and she’s apparently not thrilled about it.”
“They’ve decided to release the director’s triple-X cut for the 30th anniversary.”
According to IndieWire:
“StudioCanal is set to release the “Basic Instinct” 4K restoration in France beginning June 16, followed by a June 17 launch in Australia and New Zealand. The restoration will also be available on Blu-ray and DVD in the United Kingdom (June 14) and Germany (June 17 2021). Rialto Pictures will be behind the restoration’s U.S. theatrical release, which will take place later this year.”
According to The Express:
“This version is otherwise known as the XXX version, as it contains full and longer footage of the intense interrogation scene.”
My notes: I’ll believe that “XXX” crap when I see it. To me that sounds like a hyperbole to sell some new Blu-Rays. My guess is that there is some deleted material in the bonus features, and that it is no more explicit than the scenes from the original movie. Remember that the famous leg-uncrossing scene is not the only bit of exposure in the film. There is an apparently unsimulated scene in which Michael Douglas performs cunnilingus on Stone,
and another scene in which Douglas rips off Jeanne Tripplehorn’s panties, briefly exposing the works.
I always thought the “non-consensual” story was concocted after the fact to make the legs-crossing scene even more salacious. This “not thrilled” story strikes me likewise.
Yeah, the story that Stone tells is that she was assured by Verhoeven that you wouldn’t be able to see anything, which clearly ended up not being the case. She’s pretty bitter about it, and with good reason.
Should’ve added if what she says is true.
Yeah, but the cunnilingus scene Uncle Scoopy mentioned makes me think SS knew perfectly well during shooting, what kind of exposures the director wanted to burn onto the film.
