Sexual harassment is indeed not about sex, but about power.
And in light of the latest allegations of Kevin Spacey, Hardy Weinberg, Louis C.K. etc. I think this is an important movie, that should be remade to fit with this decade.

Would be interesting... But I can't see it being redone without being horribly compromised...

Imagine a remake of this movie today... How controversial would it be to have such a scenario in a movie with some big stars?
A female dominant sexual harrasment scenario, as a role reversal of the MeToo media frenzy!
Say... Casey Affleck or Ryan Gosling in the Michael Douglas Role... and... Jessica Chastain or Jennifer Lawrence in the Demi Moore role... Or something like that...
Who would direct? Jane Campion? Mary Harron?

This is a trashy movie that I have seen so many times now. Not sure why but everytime it is on TV, I watch it. I can't put my exactly what the reason is but I really enjoy it every time. Funny how a cr@ppy one keeps watching nonetheless.

The tone is very choppy, but it has some entertaining moments. Simultaneously relevant and dated.

I think it's best viewed as a quasi-sequel to Fatal Attraction. Michael Douglas was the fool for cheating on his wife in that movie; in this one, he's not the fool as he "got out of there" this time in Disclosure.
In that respect, remaking one without the other would just seem...I dunno, off, to me. Plus, in this age of #TimesUp against men in power, to suggest that women in power are anywhere near an equivalent problem in society is not likely carry much credibility....unless...
...unless someone makes a movie about the world of family law where there is this idea that men are more likely to automatically lose out to a woman when it comes to child custody (although, that was a sub-plot in Liar Liar...but that was written as a comedy, so was less likely to be taken seriously).
