The original erotic thriller, released in 1987, starred Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, and Anne Archer.

quote:

The actor, currently starring in Peacock series “Dr. Death”, will star as Dan Gallagher, the object of his lover’s (Caplan) obsession after a brief affair. A deep-dive reimagining of the classic psychosexual thriller and ’80s cultural touchstone, the new series will explore fatal attraction and the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders and coercive control. Michael Douglas played the role in the 1987 film.

“Joshua is an incredible talent who creates beautifully complicated characters on both the screen and stage,” said Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. “He and Lizzy are perfectly matched to tell a nuanced and modern narrative about the complexities of the human psyche. We’re thrilled to partner with them to bring this provocative and captivating story to a new generation.”

He's drawn more attention recently from getting married than from his acting career.

Why would anyone want to watch a cheap, TV version of that movie, starring 2 c-listers? I've never heard of the chick and I haven't seen Pacey since he did a cameo as himself in Oceans 11.

Why? Did we run out of copies of the original movie that was a classic?

Weird flex. I don't believe a word of it, but it's funny at least.

JJ was great in Fringe btw, and Caplan has been in lots of shite. I haven't seen FA in forever, but wasn't part of the plot that she was not the most attractive woman or something like that? If that's the case, casting Lizzy Caplan is a mistake because she's a fricking smoke show.

Huh? I think you're getting your bro-isms mixed up.

This is like the Point Break remake. It's not compelling at all and stars people who are nowhere near as accomplished as the original actors. It's a softened, cheaper version of the original.

Keep consuming regurgitated crap, though. It clearly works on some people.

Lizzy has no problem with nudity in movies.

And, to think, the first place many of us probably saw her was as the ugly-ish, goth, “lesbian” chick in “Mean Girls.”

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but my comments were focused on your Lizzy Caplan comment. She's been in a good bit of stuff over the years.

So you've never seen any of:

Hot Tub Time Machine
Castle Rock (S2)
Mean Girls
Cloverfield
Now You See Me 2
Masters of Sex
True Blood

I don't think that makes the point you think it does. Most of that stuff isn't very popular, and it's entirely possible someone would have seen 1-2 of those things like Mean Girls and Hot Tub Time Machine without learning her name.

Now You See Me 2? Really?

Never heard of her, either. That list looks like a whole lotta mediocre.
