How things change, part 4,532: Once upon a time (that time being the 1990s, and briefly again in 2006, though we don't like to think about that), Sharon Stone was the sexy stalker. Now, in Tony Kaye's new thriller Attachment, she will be the stalkee.
Stone has signed on to play a married woman who has an affair with a student. And because this is a sexual thriller, things don't go well once the relationship ends. Turns out her former paramour has been cribbing from both Fatal Attraction and Fear and, er, The Graduate, as he shows up dating her daughter and then begins to terrorise her family.
Christopher Denham wrote the script, and there's a plan in place for Kaye to kick off shooting in April. The producers at Panther Films will be taking the project to Berlin's European Film Market next week to drum up some sales.
Kaye already has one film that features students and "tachment" in it – that would be Adrien Brody educational drama Detachment, which will hit US screens in March, but has no set UK date yet. Stone has just shot action thriller The Mule and is currently at work on Lovelace alongside Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard.
