Stone: from hot naked chick to shoplifter
Filed under: Drama, Independent, Casting, Newsstand, Cinematical Indie
Because she obviously needs a break from all
of that Hollywood money and taking off of clothing, among Sharon
Stone's follow-ups to (the supposedly eagerly-awaited) Basic
Instinct 2 will be an independent film called When a Man Falls in a Forest. The film, written and directed by Ryan Eslinger, is about a trio of lonely men whose lives "intersect
as they struggle to overcome their deepening isolation as they search for connection." Well that sounds cheery.
Jeez. According to Production Weekly, Stone will play "an unhappily married woman who shoplifts to break
her boredom." How she interacts with the men in question, and if she encounters all three of them or not, is
unclear.It's refreshing to see that Stone is finally settling in to playing women who are people rather than simple sex objects - and, as her performance in Broken Flowers showed, she's certainly capable of taking on weightier material. It'll be interesting to see how this movie shapes up as more details become available.
When a Man Falls starts filming in Canada next month.

Whomever wrote this review obviously does not know the scopt of Sharon Stones work. You should watch a few more of her movies before you type cast her as unable to do anything but take her clothes off. It is amazing that people who do not do their homework would have any credibility to report to with any authority at all to the general public at large. It is a big task I am sure to stay current on all the movies and the stars. But, if you cannot devote your career to accuracy then you should not make comments that will come back to do in your credibility. I for one have no respect for anything you may comment on.

Now, now. Let's be real, here. I've seen everything she's done and most of it was done in the sack. She's not really Meryl Streep but if she's your favorite, it doesn't matter. She used what she had to sell her movies. I don't blame her. Now, she has a chance to be challenged a bit, though. I hope it turns out well for her.
