During the 80’s and 90’s, the erotic thriller featured, as film critic Hornaday eloquently describes, featured “sex scenes that were frank, artfully staged and, sometimes, arousing in their own right.” No doubt, the filmmaker most associated with this genre was Adrian Lyne. Between 1987 and 2002 Lyne released “Fatal Attraction,” “9½ Weeks,” “Flashdance,” “Indecent Proposal,” “Lolita” and “Unfaithful” — all featuring erotic sex and dark thrills. However, ever since 2002’s “Unfaithful” Lyne has been M.I.A. What happened? I’m not sure, but 17 years after his last movie, Lyne is back for, that’s right, yet another erotic thriller. According to Deadline, the filmmaker is adapting Patricia Highsmith’s novel ‘“Deep Water,” with Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. The film is said to follow “a young married couple as their mind game with each other take a dark turn when bodies begin piling up. The couple avoids divorce by allowing each other to take on new lovers.” Sounds about right. “Deep Water” is set to begin production in November. Contribute Hire me
