“Contagion” may be nine years old, but Steven Soderbergh’s well-known pandemic thriller became one of the most talked about films of 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic spread throughout the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soderbergh revealed during a recent Happy Sad Confused podcast interview that he is developing a “philosophical” sequel to “Contagious” with Scott Burns, who worked as a screenwriter on the 2011 film. The project appears to be in its early stages and is unlikely to be a direct sequel to “Contagion,” but Soderbergh said it could touch on similar themes and ideas.<\/p>\n

“I have a project in development that Scott Burns is working on with me, it’s kind of a philosophical sequel to Contagion, but in a different context,” Soderbergh said.<\/p>\n

The original film shows the aftermath (now known) of a viral outbreak spreading through the United States. It shares several similarities to the current coronavirus pandemic, showing panic buying and closures throughout the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cast members of Contagion, including Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Ehle de Saint Maud, and Laurence Fishburne shot the COVID-19 public service announcements in collaboration with Columbia Public Health earlier this year, based on their experience in researching the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
