Sharon Stone Pours Cash Into UK Films

Sharon Stone is planning to team up with a British movie production company, and launch a GBP56 million fund to make new films. The Basic Instinct star has always been enthusiastic about the country's movie industry, and has finally found a way to get involved first-hand. A source tells The Daily Telegraph newspaper, "Stone has always been a shrewd businesswoman first and foremost. "She has come to Cannes to meet with Brass Hat, one of the UK's leading film production companies, which has just co-produced Sandra Bullock's new film Premonition. "She's been keen to be involved in the British film scene for a few years now, having already produced seven films in the United States. This is the perfect opportunity for her."
