Sharon Stone Slams 'Sliver' Dialogue as Terrible
18 Sep
Summary
- Stone criticized 'Sliver' dialogue as poorly written by men.
- She regretted a specific line about a vibrator.
- The film followed her hit 'Basic Instinct'.
In a recent reflection on her filmography, Sharon Stone did not hold back her criticism of the 1993 erotic thriller 'Sliver.' Stone identified the film's dialogue as "terrible" and "clearly written by a man without enough to do." She specifically recalled a line about a vibrator, expressing disbelief that she had uttered it and admitted to banning the film's title for years due to its poor writing.
'Sliver' was released the year after Stone's career-defining role in 'Basic Instinct,' and it also featured screenwriter Joe Eszterhas. Despite 'Sliver' grossing triple its budget, it was met with harsh reviews, with critics labeling it uninspired and a poor imitation of 'Basic Instinct.' Stone's career, however, continued to thrive, evidenced by her Oscar-nominated performance in 'Casino' just two years later.
