Watch the First, Panic-Inducing Trailer for Epidemic Thriller Contagion

“Don’t talk to anyone, don’t touch anyone. Stay away from other people!” If the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a little paranoid-inducing, maybe that’s for the best. Once the birds start weaponizing avian flu for use on us humans, it’s only a matter of time before the streets empty themselves of humanity. Jude Law’s bubble boy suit isn’t looking so silly now!

Soderbergh to Go 3D

If David Fincher can mainstream himself enough to direct a megabudget family tentpole , Steven Soderbergh can shoot his next studio film in 3D.
