Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest, a new thriller drama series.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Fatal Attraction is based on one of the most iconic

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: films of the nineteen eighties, Fatal Attraction, starring Glenn Close

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: and Michael Douglas. Glenn's portrayal of the fem fatale Alex

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: Forrest is legendary, but Glenn herself as express reservations about

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: how the character and her mental health struggles were portrayed.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: She remains highly critical of the film. Similar concerns were

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: the reason show runner Alex Cunningham wanted to do the

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: reboot to modernize the story and say something different about

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: mental health, and when she happened to bring glenk Close's

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: hairstylists on board, Glenn herself provided her email just in

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: case Cunningham ever wanted to chat. She tells the Hollywood Reporter,

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: I really thought about it until I realized so many

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: people are going to ask her if she's seen it

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: and what she thinks. She's so kind that if we

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: brought her in to our inner sanctum, she'd feel like

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: she couldn't say she didn't like it. So I sent

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: her an email saying I'd love nothing more than to

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: use this excuse to get close to you. But honestly,

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: I want you to be able to tell people if

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: you don't like the show, and I know you wouldn't

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: do that if you like this action is streaming on

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: Paramount Plus.

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,720
