    Lizzy Caplan, Joshua Jackson and the 'Attraction' in reimagining an iconic film

    Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson knew what they were getting into when they signed on to the reimagining of "Fatal Attraction" as a Paramount+ miniseries. The film was 1987's highest grosser; it received six Oscar nominations; it starred Oscar winner Michael Douglas and now-eight-time nominee Glenn Close in perhaps her most iconic role; it featured lines and moments that have entered the cultural lexicon.

    And Caplan says of making a new version: "Everybody's initial reaction when anything so beloved is revisited is aversion."

    So why reboil that bunny? You might say it was a drive for justice for the character Alex Forrest. And maybe justice to Dan Gallagher.

    "It was and the treatment of Alex Forrest," Caplan says of taking on the female lead. "It felt like one of those iconic things that could maybe benefit from a reimagining through a modern lens."
