New ‘Contagion’ Poster Is A Headshot Compilation
I don’t really know what to make of Contagion, except that I’m absolutely tickled by the fact that a Steven Soderbergh flick is headed to IMAX. I have no idea what sort of madness is in it that would require the use of a 72 x 52.8 ft. screen (there’s no monkey in this, right?), but I’m all for seeing Kate Winslet blown up to the size of Soderbergh’s ego (judging by his commentary tracks, the guy loves him some him).
A new poster for the film made it’s way on the net today, featuring a headshot montage of a few of the stars. It’s a pretty boring one-sheet, but THIS THING IS IN IMAX… and not 3D.
In theatres September 9, Contagion follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
