Soderbergh Says Male Stripper Film Magic Mike Is A Realistic, Altman-esque ComedyWhile it might not be surprising to hear that a movie about male strippers is funny, especially given that first image of Matthew McConaughey in a skimpy Uncle Sam outfit that you see above. But you really never know with Soderbergh, especially since he recently took the seemingly cheesy idea of an ensemble of actors facing a deadly, world-ending foe and turned it into Contagion...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-01-12 12:49:03comments
Steven Soderbergh Moving From U.N.C.L.E. To The Bitter PillThe Oscar-winning filmmaker will reteam with Scott Z. Burns (The Informant!, Contagion) for a thriller titled The Bitter Pill. As with most of Soderbergh’s projects, details are being kept under wraps for the time being, though THR hints that the story will be set “in the world of psychopharmacology” (whatever that could possibly mean). ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-11-29 14:28:37comments
Weekend Box Office: Contagion Spreads To Number OneAfter sitting at number one for a solid 25 days straight (the longest stretch since 1999 when The Sixth Sense held the post for 35 days in a row) The Help finally took a break and settled for second place, making room for newcomer Contagion to rule the weekend. With $23 million in the bank Contagion brings some relief to the floudering box office which hasn't seen a new movie break $20 million since The Help opened a month ago. Good news for the box office, but only so-so for the film itself. ...by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-09-11 20:19:00comments
Strength In Numbers: The 7 Best Uses Of An Ensemble Cast In FilmOne can easily make the argument that storytelling is fully dependent on rich, full characters. Great ones can make us cheer when the hero wins in the end or bring us to tears when they lose. Strong personalities can organically inform decisions that, in turn, create realistic plot points and keep the story moving. If the audience doesn’t care about the protagonist, they have no incentive to keep paying attention. It’s because characters are so vital that ensemble movies make for a terrific challenge....by CB Staff | published: 2011-09-09 11:50:46comments
Exclusive Interview: Contagion Writer Scott Z. BurnsFeaturing an ensemble cast with some of the greatest actors in the world, Contagion is not only about the spread of a quick and deadly disease, but also the incredible amount of fear that it can cause around the world.

Watch This: Contagion Billboards Made Out Of Bacteria And FungiPerhaps its because I spend a good portion of every day looking at ordinary film advertisements, but I really love creative marketing. Movies have gotten so expensive and and studios have become so risk averse that every trailer and poster is simply a different version of an idea we've seen 1,000 times before....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-08 16:34:12comments

Oscar Winners Fighting For Space On Steven Soderbergh's Latest Contagion PosterThere are two sides to the Steven Soderbergh coin. On one side is an indie director interested in crafting small, quiet but personal releases that may or may not be seen by a mainstream audience (see Bubble or his two part Che, if you haven’t already). Then there’s the Soderbergh who’s remarkably comfortable guiding gobs of A-listers through intricate thrillers...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-08-17 13:32:49comments

Jude Law Is In A Bubble In Contagion Set PhotosThe suit looks inflated from the inside and totally intense, which makes sense for a movie about a deadly and contagious virus.
