It's official, Steven Soderbergh is coming to town! Teaming up with Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton's Sydney Theatre Company, Soderbergh's arrival was announced thus:
Andrew: Steven Soderbergh?
Cate: He made Sex, Lies, and Videotape when he was about seven. He made the Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen capers. He was nominated for an Academy Award for two films in the same year: Traffic and Erin Brockovich. We met him when I made The Good German.
Andrew: Just because you can make a good film doesn’t necessarily mean you can direct a play, does it?
Cate: Not necessarily, but trust me, this guy could direct the phonebook.
Andrew: The phonebook? Is that the secret project?
For upcoming news about Soderbergh's as yet untitled project, we're told to watch this space and then wait til December rolls around. In the meantime, however, we have A Streetcar Named Desire to look forward to.Am I just getting old, or does it sound like time to become a proper theatre goer?
