Steven Soderbergh is reportedly assembling a cast of stars including Matt Damon for an action thriller about a deadly disease
The Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh is assembling an all-star cast for his next film, an action thriller about a deadly disease, according to Variety.
Soderbergh regular Matt Damon has reportedly signed on for the project, along with Jude Law, while the much-garlanded duo of Marion Cotillard and Kate Winslet are reportedly in talks. The movie will feature multiple storylines, in a similar vein to Soderbergh's most critically acclaimed film, Traffic.
Soderbergh is currently hard at work on the spy thriller Knockout, which will star Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and mixed martial arts star Gina Carano. Some reports suggest that David Holmes, who worked on the soundtracks for all three Ocean's movies, will once again be involved on the project.
Last year was a prolific year for the mercurial Soderbergh, »

8 February 2010 8:25 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
The Playlist is reporting that Steven Soderbergh (Ocena's Eleven, The Informant!) has delayed all projects in order to fast-track Contagion. The plague thriller penned by Scott Z. Burns (The Informant!) is set to go behind cameras this fall with Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard all signed on to star. Details are slim but the film is said to be an action-thriller about the outbreak of a deadly virus." Variety adds that the project " is described as centering on a deadly disease with multiple plotlines in the same style as Soderbergh's Traffic." Soderbergh's currently shooting another action-thriller, "Knockout," for Relativity Media. Project stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and martial arts champ Gina Carano. »
Interview: Pierce Brosnan on Polanski, Percy, and R-Patz
8 February 2010 6:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
February is about to get really interesting for Pierce Brosnan. A mere week after his debut as a self-proclaimed "horse's ass" (aka Chiron) in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief on February 12, a much smaller and much more controversial thriller he's in will be hitting art house screens in New York and Los Angeles. Brosnan is one of the heavy-hitting stars in Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer, the movie Polanski was doing post-production on when he was arrested in Switzerland on an outstanding warrant from 1978, when he fled the Us before being sentenced for having sex with a minor. (Polanski finished the film while under house arrest.) Pierce Brosnan, who plays ex-Prime Minister Adam Lang, is part of an impressive ensemble; Olivia Williams is Lang's intensely intelligent wife Ruth, while Ewan McGregor is the titular writer who reluctantly signs on to help Lang with his memoirs after the first writer turns up dead. »

Soderbergh's 'Contagion' Cast Looks Strong
8 February 2010 5:28 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Last we heard from Steven Soderbergh he was looking to make Liberace with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, but now it appears he will be making yet another movie with Damon, but it won't be about a pianist Liberace. Instead it's an action-thriller called Contagion reports Deadline's Mike Fleming and he's got quite the cast in tow.
Along with Damon, Soderbergh has lined up Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and Jude Law for the film that takes place in a worst case scenario of a deadly virus. The Playlist adds to the plot description saying the story takes place over four continents and is "terrifying."
Fleming describes the feature, penned by Bourne Ultimatum co-writer Scott Z. Burns, as Traffic meets Bourne. Burns also penned The Informant!, which coincidentally also starred Damon and was directed by Soderbergh.
Recently Soderbergh has been quite vocal concerning the current film environment. I detailed his comments »

Not to be confused with The Ghost Rider reboot, The Ghost Writer follows “a man (Ewan McGregor) hired to ghost write the memoirs of the former prime minister to Britain (Pierce Brosnan), and in the process uncovers deep, dark secrets that lead down a path of betrayal, deceit, and murder.” Co-written and directed by Roman Polanski, the film co-stars Timothy Hutton, Kim Cattrall, Tom Wilkinson, James Belushi, and Olivia Williams.

Blu-Ray Review: Dull ‘Amelia’ Should Be Grounded
8 February 2010 9:29 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It seems downright sad that “Amelia,” a movie that was so widely predicted to be a part of the 2009 awards season, would be released on Blu-ray and DVD on the same day as the Oscar announcements. On paper, “Amelia” seemed like Oscar bait through and through with important subject matter headlined by one of the few women to have more than one Oscar. On Blu-ray, it’s easy to see why this cinematic plane crashed and burned.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.0/5.0
“Amelia” is one of those well-intentioned dramas that doesn’t necessarily do that much wrong that it’s worth getting fired up about but it’s so shockingly forgettable and sleep-inducing. Sure, it looks good, the performances are reasonably interesting, and it features an intriguing true story, but it’s so old-fashioned that it crosses into by-the-numbers, generic cinema that they don’t really make that often any more for a reason. »

Emily Mortimer: "Sometimes I think this is so undignified"
8 February 2010 5:44 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Emily Mortimer's worked with Woody Allen and Stephen Fry, next up it's Martin Scorsese, but she's still not convinced she's a professional actress. She talks about motherhood, movies and jealousy
Emily Mortimer enters the Brooklyn bar like a snowstorm: surrounded by a gust of frozen air and bundled up against the cold in a big white woolly coat that may once have been related to a yeti. She is moving rather slowly: she is just days away from giving birth to her second child. "I feel so enormous," she says, laughing at herself. "Even my doctor told me: 'God, you're really past your glory days, aren't you?'" Once we are ensconced at a corner table, the undisguisable fact of her inhabited belly leads us down intense and intimate avenues straightaway: her fears for her six-year-old son Sam; her mourning of her father, the writer and national hero John Mortimer »

Review: 'Amelia' on Blu-ray
8 February 2010 4:58 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
America loved Amelia Earhart, as much for her pioneering work in the sky, but for being a woman of accomplishment at a time women were still getting used to having the right to vote. She was celebrated in book, story, and song up to her disappearance over the Pacific Ocean in 1937. Since then, her story has been told and retold numerous times and the woman herself has been portrayed by the likes of Rosalind Russell, Diane Keaton, and Jane Lynch. On Star Trek: Voyager she was portrayed by Sharon Lawrence and most recently, Amy Adams displayed her as a plucky, ready-for-action woman in Night at the Museum 2.
But, until Hilary Swank was cast as Amelia in the recent Mira Nair film, it had been some time before her story had been explored on screen. It’s a shame that the movie wasn’t a better, more engaging product. Swank is »

Photos: Male Costars Get Buss-ted

Buss-ted! They may be costars onscreen - but it looks like these guys are still feeling the love even after the cameras stop rolling. During the recent Parisian premiere of I Love You Phillip Morris, Jim Carrey couldn't help but plant a sweet one on Ewan McGregor. (The two play lovers in the flick.) And though he may be engaged to Katy Perry, Russell Brand was feeling warm toward his Forgetting Sarah Marshall costar at a Haitian earthquake benefit in L.A. on Tuesday. Even Josh Brolin, who played Sean Penn's archrival in Milk, couldn't suppress his affection for his former costar. »

A Russian study of a miracle-working monk is both folksy and beautiful, writes Catherine Shoard
Not to be confused with the damp Ewan McGregor/Scarlett Johansson action romance – though it was made nearly as long ago (it closed the Venice film festival in 2006) – Pavel Lungin's drama is a study of a hirsute Orthodox monk (rock star turned actor Pyotr Mamonov) in remotest Russia in the late 70s. The action starts in the second world war, however, when he wins his freedom from Nazi capture by killing a comrade. Stricken with guilt, he lives like a hermit and devotes himself to performing miracles (he's got a knack for healing the sick and predicting the future), so long as his beneficiaries vow to sacrifice all their possessions, no matter how dire their straits. The folksy structure both lulls and frustrates, and there's something dirgeish about the endless scenes of soul-wracking and tea-brewing. »

The Afternoon Meme: New "Phillip Morris" Trailers, Fat Cats, Snack Food Stadiums and Channing Tatum Sets the Bar on Fire
4 February 2010 11:32 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Not only are Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey smoochin' in France for I Love You Phillip Morris, they're also releasing a new international trailer, which unlike the first one we can show here. It's gay, gay, gay – which begs the question: What will the American trailer look like?
Dear John has a music video out for the Snow Patrol song "Set Fire to the Third Bar" and it wisely focuses on the best parts of the movie - Channing Tatum's shirtless body. The song is kind of "meh" but you can just watch on mute. It's now my screensaver!
Alice In Wonderland has been releasing similar trailers, cut with a few seconds of new footage on each of the main Disney television networks. Yesterday we saw the ABC Family ad, and today we have the ABC commercial. This all leads up to the big commercial during the Super Bowl. »

The Lazy, Misleading DVD Covers for 'Amelia' and 'Love Happens'
3 February 2010 7:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The films Amelia and Love Happens, both of which you might remember from last fall, when you ignored them, were released on DVD this week, to be ignored by people in the comfort of their own homes. While browsing at Amazon, I noticed some coincidences about the art used on the films' DVD covers. Take a gander.
You can see the obvious similarity. Both covers use the generic "two people facing each other with their eyes closed because they're so in love" motif. It's what you use when you don't feel like thinking of anything more creative. Countless DVDs have used it before. (Amelia is from 20th Century Fox; Love Happens is Universal.)
The other thing these covers have in common is less obvious: They don't accurately reflect the content of the movies. To look at them, you'd think Amelia and Love Happens were both love stories, but that ain't the case. »

trailer break: ‘The Ghost Writer’
3 February 2010 9:02 AM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Hey, did you know that Roman Polanski has a new movie about to hit screens? Yeah, neither did I. I wonder why everyone’s keeping it such a secret? Hmmmm.... Look at that cast: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, Olivia Williams -- Timothy Hutton’s in this, too, though he doesn’t appear in the trailer. You’d think this would getting saturation advertising and marketing... Weird, huh? The Ghost Writer opens in limited release in the U.S. (and Canada?) on February 19; no U.K. release date has been announced. »
