Sharon Stone Once Caused a Freak out When She Was Almost Replaced in ‘Basic Instinct 2’

Actor Sharon Stone shot to mega-stardom after her breakthrough role in the hugely successful Basic Instinct. Despite being partly responsible for the film’s accomplishments, she almost wasn’t included in the movie’s sequel.

It took quite some time to get a Basic Instinct sequel off the ground. The original film starring Stone and Michael Douglas hit theaters in 1992. Its successor arrived at theaters 14 years later in 2006. Stone shared that the idea of a Basic Instinct 2 had been floating around for years. However, many obstacles kept the film from materializing.
