I think an introduction is not necessary, but let’s do it anyway. Steven Soderbergh is one of those filmmakers whose every new film he puts out is a must-see. Some might be an absolute masterpiece like Traffic (2000), but even the minor and more disappointing works like The Informant! (2009) are worth-watching films above the average. Since his feature debut with indie cult Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), he has made a career specializing in thrillers but also flirting with other genres like drama, action, comedy, science-fiction, and horror, that include essential titles like Kafka (1991), Gray’s Anatomy (1996), Out of Sight (1998), The Limey (1999), Erin Brockovich (2000), the Oceans trilogy including Ocean’s Eleven (2001), Ocean’s Twelve (2004), and Ocean’s Thirteen (2007), Solaris (2002), The Girlfriend Experience (2009), Contagion (2011), Haywire (2011), Side Effects (2013), Logan Lucky (2017), Unsane (2018), and many more.
His upcoming film is a crime thriller set in 1955 in Detroit entitled No Sudden Move (2021). It centers on a group of criminals who are brought together under mysterious circumstances and have to work together to uncover what’s really going on when their simple job goes completely sideways. When their plan goes horribly wrong, their search for who hired them – and for what ultimate purpose – weaves them through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city.
Ed Solomon, who started as a fantasy comedy writer taking part in the creation of the texts for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989) and its sequels Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991) and Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020), Super Mario Bros. (1993), Men in Black (1997), and Charlie’s Angels (2000), but who moved to a more serious tone with thrillers like Levity (2003), Now You See Me (2013), and Now You See Me 2 (2016), has been the writer for No Sudden Move (2021).
The main cast is formed by a big group of stars including Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Amy Seimetz, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin, Noah Jupe, Craig Grant, Julia Fox, Ray Liotta, and Bill Duke.
No Sudden Move (2021) is Rated R for language throughout, some violence, and sexual references. It has been produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and will be distributed by the Video on Demand platform HBO Max on July 1, 2021. Previous to that, the film will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 18, 2021. Here you can watch its final official trailer.
