screenwriter Joe Eszterhas was paid an unprecedented sum of three million dollars for the script "BASIC INSTINCT" he wrote the film in ten days listening to uninterrupted music ROLLING STONES . MILOS FORMAN was the name that the writer buzz about the production, hoping for an involvement of IRWIN WINKLER , famous for having produced the saga "ROCKY", but was preferred Dutch PAUL VERHOEVEN , fresh from success "Total Recall" . The difficulties arose when they had to be assigned the roles of detective Nick Curran and the writer's vicious and suspected murder of Catherine Tramell. For the male role, Verhoeven thought in the very first time PETER WELLER, with whom he had worked in "ROBOCOP" , then offer the part to Tom Berenger, who had a of his favorite actors in Hollywood, but the actor declared himself not interested in taking part in the production film.Vennero taken into account by the big names like Kevin Costner , HARRISON FORD, ROBERT DE NIRO, SEAN PENN, MEL GIBSON, JACK NICHOLSON , Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid and BRUCE WILLIS , but without actually seek their: brushed the offer RICHARD GERE , but was hired MICHAEL DOUGLAS, who however refused to be taken frontally nude, and that her character was bisexual. With regard to the character of the femme fatale Catherine Tramell, a large number of names circulated: GLENN CLOSE, JAMIE LEE CURTIS, JENNIFER GREY, Ellen Barkin, Greta Scacchi, Geena Davis, Linda Fiorentino, Laura Dern, Debra Winger, Isabella Rossellini, Michelle Pfeiffer, Uma Thurman, Andie McDowell, JESSICA LANGE, JODIE FOSTER, VIRGINIA MADSEN, MADONNA, JULIA ROBERTS, KATHLEEN TURNER, Sigourney Weaver . A KELLY LINC was offered the part, but it seemed excessive. Were test- Catherine O'Hara and Mariel Hemingway, without convincing casting directors, while LENA OLIN wanted the role, but refused to work with Verhoeven. Who, having appreciated the performance of SHARON STONE in "Total Recall", emphasizing the danger of his character, who proclaimed himself innocent. Both Eszterhas that Winkler is ousted from the work after having disagreements with the director, who intercedes much to Michael Douglas, many things changed in the approach to history also Verhoeven, who wanted to become the first director to show an erect penis in a Hollywood movie, had replace the film except for fourteen times not to take the "x-rated" to the film, and thus cause substantial harm commercial operation. The sex scenes between Stone and Douglas were even defined as "choreographed" so that a newspaper industry called them "Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire of the nineties."'s famous interrogation scene where Catherine Tramell, the camera shows that the character does not lead slip was shot this way: Verhoeven said that Sharon Stone wore her pants reflected light and spoiled the shot, so did the actress remove the garment intimo.La Stone said later that he had no idea that was well taken, and when he found out he slapped the director on set, but Verhoeven has vigorously denied this development. The director was very excited by the prospect of achieving a big production with a sexual component so explicit, to be always very detailed storyboard of the shots in production and advisers censura.Le erotic scenes were filmed without doubles, as well as the action scenes in cars were all made without stunt for Douglas. The making of the film risked a boycott to shoot with complications from gay-lesbian groups, as they did not like the script show some homosexual or bisexual characters, and a police department of San Francisco had a permanent presence in the set to avoid problemi.Sharon Stone on the set was also need a paramedic because he suffered from stress because of the innumerable questions about nudity, and the cruelty of his character.
