News: Sharon Stone

Stone’s attempt at a comeback in Basic Instinct 2 has just earned her her 7th Razzie nomination, this time for Worst Actress, so her good turn in this week’s Bobby should prove some cheer. Of her three upcoming movies, however, only one looks set to give her any more good notices, the first two – indy flicks If I Had Known I Was A Genius and When A Man Falls In The Forest – looking unlikely to attract much notice, even if they can secure a release on this side of the pond.

Much more promising is the post-Watergate political drama Dirty Tricks, in which she’ll star alongside Jim Broadbent (as disgraced President Richard Nixon), Annette Benning, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep. With a cast like that, it should prove something special – but will it be enough to get her career going on the right track again?
