Basic Instinct sequel confirmed
The sequel to the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct has been given the go-ahead, star Sharon Stone said on Monday.

"We are putting it together now. We don't have a production schedule yet," the 46-year-old actress, who starred opposite Michael Douglas, confirmed.

Despite a protracted legal dispute, since dropped, Stone told TV's Access Hollywood that the film had not been delayed because of her alleged demands.

"We are making the movie now, and nothing has changed," said Stone.

'Lost role'

Stone caused controversy for her infamous "leg-crossing" scene in the Paul Verhoeven-directed film, in which she starred as a woman suspected of killing her lovers with an ice pick.

Stone had originally launched a suit against the movie's producers because she said she had lost a role in the film Mr Deeds waiting for the sequel's production to start.

The producers, Maria Kassar and Andrew Vanja, had also said the star's on-set demands had been too much, but have since settled their differences with her.

Basic Instinct was Stone's launch pad to Hollywood success. She has since starred in films including the western The Quick and the Dead and Martin Scorsese's Casino.
