		<description><![CDATA[It'll be interesting to see how Steven Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns tackle the apocalypse by virus issue some 15 years after Outbreak, as the world is a very different place to what it used to be. We are now in the age of Sars and Swine Flu - none of these things were an issue in 1995.

Wolfgang Petersen's movie, despite the 90's feel for rather one-note characters that his peer Roland Emmerich (2012, The Day After Tomorrow) never did grow out of - was a smart and effective doomsday thriller and has one or two effective scenes that I remember leaving me squirm in my seat. The whole movie played on our deep underlining fears of what lurks in those uncharted rain forests and just how vulnerable human life can be when something deadly enters our bloodstream, and just how easy we can be infected by it.

Forget any Government warnings about Swine Flu, I would screen a few scenes from Outbreak to warn us all of our impending doom. This is the bench mark Soderbergh's Contaigon must aim for...

		<description><![CDATA[The Playlist have pointed me towards a 29.09.09 article explaining the origins of director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns' idea for their forthcoming virus movie Contaigon, a 21st century post-Swine Flu look at the Outbreak scenario which will film late this year...
...while making "The Informant!," he and the director began discussing a scene in which Scott Bakula's agent character sneezes, causing Whiteacre (Matt Damon) to go on a rant about who will pay for his getting sick, etc. Burns says he and Soderbergh began dissecting the topic of germs and how the nature of a virus could be used to deal with "issues of sovereignty" and as a metaphor for the way "information and misinformation travel" in contemporary society. Burns and Soderbergh developed the idea for a "virus movie" that Burns describes in "pitch meeting speak" as 'Traffic' meets 'Outbreak".
Today, The Playlist say Sodebergh has secured the A-list cast of Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Marion Cotillard.

Virus movies, in essence, are straight-laced zombie movies and I'm certain Soderbergh will hit the right social paranoia and creepy 'heading towards apocalypse' note with what is described as a 'four continent' tale. You will instantly know how effective it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I didn't expect the adaptation of Kurt Eichenwald's nonfiction bestseller about a guy who spilled the beans on a price-fixing scandal at a grain processing conglomerate to actually be a comedy - but that's exactly what Steven Soderbergh has cooked up right here by the looks of this trailer for The Informant, opening in October (Nov U.K.), but everyone expects it to play at the Toronto Film Festival. 



Mind you, that's the "Ocean's" Steven Soderbergh as referenced by the Warner Bros. marketing team, which immeaditely sours my interest because I'm much more of a fan of the Traffic/Che/The Girlfriend Experience variety of Soderbergh. Speaking of which can any director seriously make as many movies as he; this will technically be his fourth movie in 12 months.

A fatter, aging, kind of Russell Crowe in The Insider version of Matt Damon, in his first movie since summer 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum stars as the whistle blower Mark Whitacre, with a very welcomed return to the big screen from Scott Bakula who supports. 

Looks kind of Burn After Reading-esque, and any trailer ballsy enough to use The Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" in it's trailer, deserves at least a mention.  ]]></description>
