According to The Hollywood Reporter, a remake of the 1987 psychothriller FATAL ATTRACTION will be the first film in a multi-year, multi-production deal that rapper/actor LL Cool J has signed with Lions Gate Films. According to the Reporter, Cool J, who has previously starred in DEEP BLUE SEA and HALLOWEEN: H20, will be “taking on a much more involved role then he has with his [previous] films.” Cool J and manager Jason Barrett of Alchemy Entertainment are set as producers, while LGF president of production Michael Paseornek and senior vp of production John Sacchi will oversee.
First on the actor’s plate will be an “urban version” of ATTRACTION, which starred Michael Douglas as a philandering husband who is stalked by his jilted mistress (Glenn Close). States the Reporter, “Cool J will play an everyman who gets into serious trouble when he engages in an extramarital affair.”
