‘Wuthering Heights’ Director Emerald Fennell in Talks for ‘Basic Instinct’ Reboot

Emerald Fennell might be directing a remake of the classic 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas told The Guardian that Fennell, known for films like Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, is in discussions for the project. Considering Fennell’s style – her films are often dark, controversial, and visually striking – she seems like a fitting choice to update this iconic, and once hugely popular, murder mystery.
