Now That Is A Cast

.

Holy shit you guys. I think y'all know I've got quite a bit of affection for this Steven Soderbergh chap. His film The Informant! got plenty o' play in my Trousers this year (I shamefully forgot to give any love to The Girlfriend Experience, his other film I quite enjoyed last year; I still haven't waded through Che yet but it's glaring at me every time I decide what movie to watch so it'll happen sooner than later). Anyway I am firmly entrenched in Team Soderbergh. And now... well holy shit, you guys. Via here:

"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."

First off, Kate's working again! Hooray! But Kate, Jude, Marion, Matt all in one place!? Good grief!

Oh and the script is by the writer of The Informant, which, awesome.

But seriously. And right now SS is making Knockout, which stars, amongst others, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, and Michael fuckin' Fassbender. And now this. If you want to romance me, Steven, this is a helluva way to do it.
