Die Another Day helmer Lee Tamahori is giving it another go with MGM, signing on to develop and direct Risk Addiction for Lakeshore Entertainment. Once billed as the sequel to Basic Instinct, the project is now being fashioned as a stand-alone psychological sexual thriller and is gearing up to start production in the fall. It will soon go out to actors. The project centers on a female photographer and how she manipulates a male psychologist/psychiatrist who has been assigned to her case. The character of the photographer in Risk Addiction originally carried the moniker of Sharon Stone's memorable role -- Catherine Tramell -- but is now being called Elizabeth Cole as part of the new turn the project has taken since the departure of Stone in early 2001.
