Lee Tamahori set to direct `Basic Instinct 2`, but no sign of Pierce Brosnan or Sharon Stone

The Hollywood Reporter has indicated that "Die Another Day" helmer Lee Tamahori has signed on to develop and direct MGM`s "Risk Addiction" (aka "Basic Instinct 2") for Lakeshore Entertainment.

Once billed as the sequel to "Basic Instinct," the project is now being fashioned as a stand-alone psychological sexual thriller.

Pierce Brosnan had been previously linked to the project when Sharon Stone was going to reprise her role.

Thanks to KungFooKing and MovieHole for the alert.
