After nearly 30 years, Basic Instinct will be reintroduced to theaters this coming summer as a brand new 4K restoration will be released. The film will be back in theaters and will also be getting a home video release in a brand new UHD package. StudioCanal is heading the remaster in partnership with the director himself, Paul Verhoeven. It will include a brand new 52 minute documentary on the making of the film as well as amazing new packaging.
Upon its release, the film was criticized for its overt sexuality and eroticism. Now fans will get to experience the entire thing again when it sees a restoration from the original 35mm negative. It will be releasing theatrically in Australia, New Zealand and then the U.S. as it sees a tiered roll out in June.
14 years after the original film, Basic Instinct received a critically lambasted sequel that ultimately flopped on its box office release. The sequel saw lead character Catherine Tramell living abroad where she ends up in trouble with the law yet again.
