Paul Verhoeven, the man who brought us Basic Instinct, Showgirls, Starship Troopers, and a novel about the life of Jesus Christ, is gearing up to direct the erotic, supernatural thriller Eternal. The plot involves a recovering alcoholic who sleeps with a mysterious woman only to find out that she's actually a ghost trying to steal his soul. Wow. With Verhoeven at the helm, this could either be amazing or terrible (or both), but it will not be boring. Hopefully the MPAA doesn't spoil it. [Deadline]
