Amazon and MGM announced last month that a third installment of "Basic Instinct" is in the works. Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter of the original film, is returning to pen the script and has already shared his initial ideas for the third film. He also publicly called for Sharon Stone, the star of the first two movies, to reprise her role. However, Stone has firmly rejected the invitation to return, and her decision appears final.

Stone, who is currently promoting her new film "Nobody 2," was recently asked about the "Basic Instinct" sequel during an appearance on the "Today" show. Her response was direct: "If the plot is similar to what I've done before, why bother making it? Good f***ing luck to you!" Stone clearly has no interest in participating further.
Eszterhas last month revealed some plot details for the third installment. He stated that "Catherine won't be the protagonist, but she will be a major supporting character. This film is about a serial killer, about an imitator. There will be some very sinister elements in the film, and I think it will be terrifying." A release date has not yet been scheduled.
