Screenwriter Joe Eszeterhas was the guy behind Paul Verhoeven’s classic erotic thriller BASIC INSTINCT, but he was also the guy responsible for Verhoeven’s classic abomination SHOWGIRLS. Hype Williams – music video director for guys like Kanye West and Busta Rhymes – has one Hollywood feature under his belt. Unfortunately, that film is BELLY. This does not bode well.
According to Variety, Eszeterhas has written a new erotic thriller called LUST and Williams will be taking its helm. Packing a $28 million budget, the story will center “on a 30-year-old woman married to an older Miami-based magazine publisher. The woman is seduced by a younger, charming playboy — who secretly videotapes himself and his new lover having sex, leading to the woman’s life unraveling.”
Producer Peter J. Fruchtman adds, “[Hype’s] always been able to make everything he does sexy and hip, which is what we need.” Misogyny via fish-eye lenses then!
