Contagion (Dir: Soderbergh) - Sept 9, 2011
 
Oh...my...gawd...

This looks freakin' amazing. What an incredible cast. I think I actually saw the guy from "Just Shoot Me" in the trailer. This one truly looks like it could be the scary thriller of the year.

Looks decent, but it's Soderbergh, so I bet the finished film will something of its own.

I've been waiting to see this trailer since it was announced "and" principle photography went underway.

This is the real outbreak film I've been wanting to see, looks damn good.

Wow, that looks damn impressive.

This looks like the Outbreak film we never got. Just amazing stuff.

I second or third or fourth the wow. Looks sweet. Definitely an awesome cast. Totally looks like a cooler version of Outbreak...and I actually really like Outbreak. Kind of a guilty pleasure for me.

I liked Oceans 12 but was turned off by the From the director of Full Frontal. I'll take a pass.

(Movie looks fantastic.)

I wasn't that excited about this movie when I first heard about it, but after seeing the trailer and noticing that

== possible spoiler? ==
Spoiler:
Gwyneth Paltrow gets killed off early on


it's now on my must-see list :D

JumpCutz 07-14-11 12:20 AM

Re: Contagion (Dir: Soderbergh) - Sept 9, 2011
 
Yes in regards to your spoiler. It's actually plainly spelled out in the trailer.

But yeah...I'm with ya. :D

Is the Bird Flu still a viable threat? I thought that type of flu died out?

Viruses evolve and adapt. So....yes..it can be.

Looks really...average, like a more A-list Outbreak. Aside from the shots of abandoned streets and airports, nothing really stood out. Still seeing this though due to Soderbergh and the cast, but as of right now, it feels like a mere appetizer before Haywire, the main course of Sodebergh's back-to-back genre pictures (dying to see what he can do with an action movie).

the trailer looks very pedestrian, but i'm hoping that since its Soderbergh, he brings something new to the table.

i didn't word that well.

Hasn't Soderbergh been talking about retirement for a few years now?

Re: Contagion (Dir: Soderbergh) - Sept 9, 2011
 
In addition to the main cast listed in the OP, the film also features Bryan Cranston, John Hawkes, and Elliott Gould. Definitely a terrific group of actors. The last few years has been nothing but reboots, Twilight, sequels to franchises, and reboots. Doesn't seem like we get too many thrillers anymore for people above the age of 14. I hope this turns out great.

Surrounded by dozens of people breathing and coughing around you?! Screw that! I'm watching this from the comfort of my plastic bubble, thank you very much!

I'd take a complete pass on this if the cast weren't so goddamned impressive. It looks like an Outbreak clone, but maybe a good one?

I'm surprised someone who hates to have their picture taken as much as yourself would have agreed to be put on film.
