FatalAttraction stars Joshua Jackson & Lizzy Caplan reveal the lesson their new series teaches about masculinity:
One of the most iconic movies in film history has been reimagined for a new Paramount Plus series in Fatal Attraction. While it has the bones of the original story, including a short-lived affair between Dan Gallagher and Alex Forrest , things are also quite different.
Screen Rant sat down with Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan to discuss if there was any intimidation behind taking on these iconic roles. Jackson also touched on creating two different versions of Dan present in Fatal Attraction – before and after he is in prison – and the tools he used to pull that off so perfectly.
Joshua Jackson: Yes. For all the same reasons. It's an iconic movie. And unfortunately for us, it's also an excellent movie. It's so much better to be retelling something that's mediocre. It's not mediocre but that story is also very much of its time. There is an obvious opening, when you watch the movie again, to delve into the Alex character but also to have some repercussions or accountability for the Dan character.
I had also randomly met a man who had recently come out of prison and was doing reintegration outreach. So, I was able to just have the conversation of like, tell me how far off I am here. And what an ego goes, what a personality goes through, when they have to be in this space for that long. And then stripping away the prison piece of it. Like I said, Dan is right at the center of the easiest version of life.
