Hollywood diva Sharon Stone says filming a sequel to her 1992 hit Basic Instinct is the fulfilment of a "life-long dream".

In Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction, the setting has switched from San Francisco to London.

"I feel at home in London," said Stone, 47, who reprises the role of novelist Catherine Tramell.

Michael Douglas is absent from the sequel, with the male lead going to David Morrissey.
