- <p> "I think we're living in difficult, restrained times.
- People want danger at a safe distance." That's how Sharon Stone
- explains moviegoers' obsession with erotic thrillers, which is
- turning into an obsession with erotic thrillers starring Sharon
- Stone. Fresh from brandishing ice picks in Basic Instinct, Stone
- will soon start shooting the screen version of Ira Levin's
- Sliver. She plays a book editor who moves into a high-rise from
- hell and falls for the wrong neighbor. Short of dating a
- voyeuristic killer, she decided the best preparation was to soak
- up the culture at publishing houses. How did real editors think
- she'd portray the profession? "With a sexy, literate
- perspective."
