Soderbergh's Original Eleven

Neatorama posted a entry today about Ocean’s Eleven Movie Trivia. You can read the post in it's entirety HERE, but what I found interesting was Steven Soderbergh's first choice for the roles.

Danny Ocean - George Clooney
Rusty Ryan - Brad Pitt
Frank Catton - Danny Glover
Reuben Tishkoff - Elliott Gould
Virgil Malloy - Luke Wilson
Turk Malloy - Owen Wilson
Livingston Dell - Eddie Jemison
Yen - Shaobo Qin
Saul Bloom - Alan Alda
Linus Caldwell - Mark Walberg
Basher Tarr - Ewan McGregor
Tess Ocean - Julia Roberts
Terry Benedict - Warren Beatty, or Ralph Fiennes, or Michael Douglas

What a different movie that would have been.

Henson’s 11

This is what we would have enjoyed if Jim Henson had produced the movie Ocean’s Eleven.

Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience" Trailer

View Trailer Here
Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, "The Girlfriend Experience" is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – "the girlfriend experience." Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend (Chris Santos) who accepts her lifestyle. But when you're in the business of meeting people, you never know who you're going to meet...

The twentieth film from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, "The Girlfriend Experience" is a sexy, gorgeously shot time capsule from the not-too-distant past.

"The Informant" @ the Arc Light, last night

I went to a screening of Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant" last night at the Arc Light in Hollywood. Steven Soderbergh made an appearance, he actually sat in the row behind me. The film was great, and has a very funny/ quirky feel to it. It has a release date of October 9th, 2009.

Starring: Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynskey

Plot: What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn't been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre's ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre's rambling imagination. Based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history.
