“I mean, they told me, ‘We can run for Supporting Actress and you’ll win the Oscar,'” Stone recalled. “‘They’re never going to let you get a leading lady Oscar.'”

“Sexuality has been moved out of movies,” the “Showgirls” and “Basic Instinct” director said, singling out Marvel and today’s 007 movies for being especially sexless.

“She knew exactly what we were doing,” Verhoeven said.
A 4K restoration of “Basic Instinct,” overseen by Paul Verhoeven himself, is releasing around the world this summer.
“I was horrified, naked, and stained with fake blood.”
“I went to the projection booth, slapped Paul [Verhoeven] across the face, left, went to my car, and called my lawyer.”
