His latest movie, Contagion, may not even be out here in the UK yet – fear not, though, its 21st October release is imminent – but we must not forget that director Steven Soderbergh is treating us to two films in a very short period of time, and the second of those films, Haywire, is following close on the heels of the first.
We got the new trailer for the film just yesterday, and now comes a brand new poster courtesy of ComingSoon.net.
In case you missed the film’s first poster which came out back in the summer, you can see it here. And you can also see that this new poster is much of the same, but instead chooses to add colour to the cast, and keep the red to the sidelines, rather than go for silhouettes against the blood-red background. Both are excellent posters in their own right, and as much as I like a good silhouette poster, I must admit I’m rather taken with this new version of it in colour.
Haywire has a terrific cast led by real-life Mixed Martial Arts superstar Gina Carano, with a supporting cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas, and Michael Douglas. A pretty damn awesome cast that Soderbergh’s lined up for himself, right?
“The film tells an electrifying tale of espionage and betrayal, a female covert ops specialist (Carano), who works in the deadly world of international operatives, strikes back after discovering she’s been double-crossed by someone close to her in the agency.”
With talk of Soderbergh’s retirement/hiatus being on the horizon, Haywire could potentially be one of the last times we’ll get to see a Soderbergh film on the big screen for at least a little while, and along with Contagion, it definitely sounds like something worth watching. Haywire will be out a few months after Soderbergh’s virus film, coming to the UK on 20th January next year, a date I’m very much looking forward to. Without further ado, here’s the new poster to enjoy. As usual, click to enlarge.
