Sharon Stone doesn't think much of the plan to reboot her most famous movie, *Basic Instinct.*

After all,* Basic Instinct 2*, released in 2006, with her reprising her role of murderous novelist Catherine Tramell, earned crushing reviews from critics and audiences alike. It earned just $5.9 million at the U.S. box office, compared to the 1992 original's haul of $117.7 million.**

"If it goes the way the one that I was in went, I would just say, I don't know why you'd do it," Stone said Monday on* Today*. "I mean, go ahead, but good f---ing luck."

** learned in July that Amazon MGM and producer Scott Stuber had obtained the rights to relaunch *Basic Instinct* and that Joe Eszterhas, who wrote the first two films, would write this installment. The Wrap, which first reported the news, noted that the movie would be "anti-woke" and that Stone might return.**

"I'm at that stage where I already retired once, and I already died a couple of times," Stone told *Today*. "I'm like, 'What are you gonna do? Kill me again? Go ahead.'"

The star of movies such as *Casino*, *Sliver*, and the new *Nobody 2* said that she had been extremely fortunate to have had "a very big career at one point."

"I think it would be fair to say I pretty much owned the ʼ90s as an actress," said Stone, who also appeared in *Total Recall*, *Last Action Hero*, and *Intersection* in the decade. "I stopped when I had a stroke. I had a massive stroke and nearly died, so I couldn't work."

In 2001, the actress suffered a stroke followed by a brain hemorrhage that she has said doctors explained gave her a "one percent chance of survival," according to a February talk with PEOPLE.

The health crisis prompted her to reorganize her priorities, she said on *Today*.

"When I reconsidered what value things had to me in life, I really wanted to have children and spend my life with them," said Stone, the mother of three sons. "And I only really worked as much as I needed to support my family. But now my children have left the nest, and now I'm back to work."

Now 67, the Oscar-nominated actress is considering her legacy in film.

"I want to leave it on the screen," she said, "because it lasts forever, and I won't. And I'm sure of that."
