29th April 2008 New Steven Soderbergh project - The Girlfriend Experience
From Variety: Steven Soderbergh will direct "The Girlfriend Experience," a feature that focuses on the world of prostitution from the vantage point of a $10,000-a-night call girl. Brian Koppelman and David Levien will write; the pair hatched the project when they and Soderbergh were working on "Ocean's Thirteen." Pic will be financed by 2929 Entertainment partners Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner through their HDNet label. It will become the second film -- after "Bubble" -- in the six-picture pact they made for Soderbergh to direct low-budget films that get distributed simultaneously in theatrical, on cable TV and on DVD. Greg Jacobs ("The Good German") will produce. Rather than go for star power, Soderbergh may set an adult film actress to play the lead role. Soderbergh shot "Bubble" using mostly non-pros. Project marks the director's first exploration of sexual relationships since his breakthrough film, "sex, lies & videotape." Much the way that Coleman Hough and Soderbergh wrote a detailed outline for "Bubble" that was used as the basis for a partly improvisational shoot, Koppelman and Levien worked out the beats of the call- girl film with Soderbergh. The director waited until he shot two installments of his Spanish-language Che Guevara biopic before turning his attention to "The Girlfriend Experience." Soderbergh will lense "The Informant" with Matt Damon for Warner Bros. as his next film. Then he'll turn to "The Girlfriend Experience," which will be shot over 14 days this fall. The title refers to a phenomenon in which wealthy men pay not just for the quality of a sexual encounter but also for a woman who will play the role of a perfect girlfriend. The arrangement apparently involves more intimacy than the usual prostitution relationship. Soderbergh, Koppelman and Levien interviewed numerous women and fixed on an interior look at a woman who makes $1 million a year in the business. Posted on 29th April 2008
26th April 2008 The Argentine / Guerrilla in competition at Cannes
The line-up for the Cannes Film Festival has been announced and The Argentine & Guerrilla have been entered in competition at the festival. The two films will be screened back to back, with the total running time of 4 hours. Posted on 26th April 2008
20th April 2008 Cannes Film Festival
From The Guardian: The big question that has teased industry insiders for the last few months is whether Steven Soderbergh can complete his four-hour, two-part Che Guevara biopic - The Argentine and Guerrilla starring Benicio del Toro as the Latin American revolutionary - in time to show both at Cannes. Soderbergh is much admired on the Croisette since he won the Golden Palm 19 years ago for Sex, Lies & Videotape and would be welcomed with open arms by the French. However, he faces a race against time as he struggles to complete The Argentine. Posted on 20th April 2008

Project is based on a true story; Scott Burns adapted the book by Kurt Eichenwald. Participant Media and Groundswell are co-producing with WIP. Jennifer Fox and Gregory Jacobs are producing. Bakula recently appeared on "Boston Legal," reuniting with his "Murphy Brown" co-star Candice Bergen. He is starring in "Dancing in the Dark" at San Diego's Old Globe Theater.
