Sliver
1993 Sharon Stone
Produced by Robert Evans and directed by Phillip Noyce, Sliver reunites Sharon Stone and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas following their collaboration on the international boxoffice phenomenon "Basic Instinct." Also starring William Baldwin and Tom Berenger, the psychosexual mystery is based on the bestselling novel by Ira Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby and ftg Boys From Brazil.
Sliver is the first project to be produced by Robert Evans under his exclusive five-year agreement with Paramount Pictures. Howard W. Koch, Jr. and Joe Eszterhas are the executive producers and William J. Macdonald is the co-producer of the presentation of the Motion Picture Group of Paramount Pictures, part of the entertainment operations of Paramount Communications Inc. The cast includes Martin Landau, Polly Walker, Colleen Camp, Nina Foch, and CCH Pounder.
Carly Norris (Sharon Stone) is a woman looking for some new excitement in her life after ending an unhappy marriage. For her new home, she chooses a 'Sliver,' what New Yorkers call the lofty, narrow apartment buildings unique to Manhattan. It is one where a
|
succession of mysterious and deadly accidents have occurred.
Among Carly's new neighbors are Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin), a wealthy young bachelor, and Jack Landsford (Tom Berenger), an author of true crime best-sellers who seems intent on investigating the recent fatal events that have occurred in the building, early, who has a career as a book editor, becomes romantically involved with Zeke and rejects Landsford only to find herself being seduced into a mysterious and clandestine world that tests the fragile boundaries between reality and her deepest fantasies.
Producer Robert Evans comments that Sliver will have the effect of "an electric shock on audiences" by exploring "the single most secret fantasy everyone has but won't discuss -- voyeurism."
For the first time since his critically acclaimed "Chinatown," which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, Evans teams the subject matter of addictive fascination with sensuality, murder and romantic intrigue.
Sliver reunites Robert Evans with Ira Levin whose novel, Rosemary's Baby, was one of the first films made under Evans' ten-year legendary regime as worldwide head of production at Paramount (1965-1975).
