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.

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.

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.)

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).

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.

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?
