The reboot of FatalAttraction gets a ParamountPlus release date.
A new year means a new slate of TV series premieres to look forward to, with one of the more anticipated projects being a new adaptation of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven film Fatal Attraction, which is set to premiere in April. One big difference between the upcoming interpretation and the source material is in sheer length, as the storyline will be extended across eight episodes of a TV series as opposed to containing the concept to a feature-length film.
Paramount+ describes the new series,"Joshua Jackson will star as Dan Gallagher, the object of his lover's 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.
The original film was a seminal experience in the world of erotic thrillers, with that film starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. Writer of this new series Alexandra Cunningham previously detailed finding the right balance between honoring the source material without just repeating it. "I did a lot of reading about the film and Glenn Close talking about the empathy she had for Alex, and how she felt that Alex was out of control and obviously not evil, which I definitely agree with because I don't believe in evil," Cunningham revealed to Entertainment Weekly last year.
Cunningham added,"We want to entertain people who are familiar with the touchstones of the original movie, but also people who have no idea what it is. If people are interested, we want them to be able to jump in and enjoy it for its own merits, even if they don't have context for bunny boiling.
