Indecent Proposal, the 1993 thriller about a billionaire who offers a couple $1m to sleep with the wife, is to receive a remake.
Directed by British film-maker Adrian Lyne and adapted from Jack Engelhard’s film of the same name, the original Indecent Proposal starred Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore as a financially stricken couple reckoning with the repercussions of a deal made with a powerful businessman (Robert Redford).
Any proposed remake of Indecent Proposal will likely have to wrestle with the issues of sexual impropriety and unequal power dynamics raised by the #MeToo and #Time’sUp movements.
The film won Razzie awards for worst picture, worst screenplay and worst supporting actor (for Harrelson).
