SCOOP: Does Ashton have that BASIC INSTINCT?

Scooper says he's being headhunted by older femme fatale

This one rolled into our offices this morning and has to do with whom might be cozying up to BUTTERFLY EFFECT's Ashton Kutcher so as to get him to star in a sequel. Can you guess who?

"I just did a couple of days on a new feature starring Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac and Jess Cauffiel in NYC. Shaping up to be a good film.

"Anyway, I wanted to let slip that Sharon Stone has her sights set on Ashton Kutcher (or 'Chris', that's his real name) for BASIC INSTINCT 2. He's in talks anyway, say the crew, and apparently she was on set a while back - before I arrived. The role he's up for is a young educated shrink that she manipulates - one can assume how - in the film.

"I'm sure he's just one of many Sharon's considering - I dare think of the casting couch for that one - but never the less, that's what's been heard here."

[An anonymous ice picking extra told us so.]

The movie that our scooper is talking about is a Columbia Pictures production that was known as THE DINNER PARTY, but right now it's simply listed as "untitled Bernie Mac/Ashton Kutcher project." Kutcher plays the fiancee of a black woman who causes sparks to fly when he meets his soon-to-be father-in-law (played by Mac.) The movie is scheduled for release next June.
