\"contagion<\/a><\/p>\n

When the coronavirus pandemic started to make headlines earlier this year, many people returned to\u00a0Contagion<\/em><\/strong>, Steven Soderbergh<\/strong>\u2018s excellent, and oddly prophetic 2011 movie about a deadly virus that starts sweeping through America. At times, elements from\u00a0Scott Z. Burns<\/strong>\u2018 Contagion<\/em> script<\/a> felt like blueprints for our current predicament, so much so that the film found a whole new form of popularity and ended up on\u00a0the top 10 on the iTunes movie rental chart nine years after it hit theaters. Now, as the plague year that was 2020 draws to a close, Soderbergh has revealed he and Burns are working on a\u00a0Contagion<\/em> sequel. Sort of.<\/p>\n

Contagion<\/em> was already an excellent movie to begin with, but 2020 made the film even more relevant \u2013 and scary. Sure, the virus at the heart of that 2011 movie was much worse than COVID-19, but the parallels were impossible to miss (especially a subplot involving Jude Law playing a wormy conspiracy theorist\/blogger who lies about and exploits the virus for his own personal gain).
\nWith\u00a0Contagion<\/em> being more popular than ever right now, it looks like director Steven Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns are ready to revisit it with a sequel. Well\u2026kind of. Speaking with the Happy. Sad. Confused.<\/em><\/a> podcast (via The Playlist<\/a>), Soderbergh said that he and Burns are working on a \u201cphilosophical sequel\u201d in a \u201cdifferent context\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a project in development that Scott Burns is working with me on, that\u2019s a kind of philosophical sequel to Contagion<\/em>, but in a different context. You\u2019ll kind of look at the two of them as kind of paired, but very different hair colors. So, Scott and I had been talking about, \u2018So, what\u2019s the next iteration of a Contagion<\/em>-type\u00a0story? We have been working on that; we should probably hot foot it a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As to just what the movie will be about, well, that\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess. It\u2019s probably safe to assume that the film isn\u2019t going to be about another deadly virus, but will follow\u00a0Contagion<\/em>\u2018s formula of telling a sprawling story from several points of view. And that\u2019s probably for the best, since making a direct sequel where Matt Damon\u2019s character looks directly at the camera and says, \u201cAnother<\/em> virus?! Here we go again!\u201d would be kind of silly.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much else we know about this \u201cphilosophical sequel,\u201d but Soderbergh likes to keep busy and work fast, so we\u2019ll probably learn more soon.<\/p>\n
