\"soderbergh<\/p>\n

The name\u2019s Soderbergh. Steven Soderbergh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The prolific filmmaker behind Ocean\u2019s Eleven<\/em>, Traffic<\/em>, Erin Brockovich<\/em>, and dozens of other movies<\/a> recently confirmed that he once came close to directing a James Bond<\/strong> film. Read his quotes about that time and how he was able to channel some of his ideas for the world\u2019s most famous spy into other projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember reading sometime around 2009 that Matt Damon mentioned a Steven Soderbergh Bond movie was in the works, but the director ultimately walked away because he didn\u2019t have enough creative control over the situation. In the most recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused<\/a> podcast, Soderbergh was asked if he was indeed app<\/a>roached \u201cat least twice\u201d to direct a Bond movie, and he confirmed that was true.
\n\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Soderbergh replied. \u201cYeah. I love that world. I think we were at odds about some things that were important. We had some great conversations, and it was fun to think about. But we just couldn\u2019t\u2026the last ten yards were, we just couldn\u2019t do it. We just couldn\u2019t figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what his take would have looked like, Soderbergh sighed. \u201cWell, you know, we\u2019ll never know. Aspects of it have showed up elsewhere. I would say there are things in Haywire<\/em>, in terms of its approach to character \u2013 it\u2019s not a big movie, but there\u2019s a little bit of activity. That\u2019s a hint at the kind of attitude that I was looking for. But look, they\u2019re doing very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have not revisited Soderbergh\u2019s 2011 spy film Haywire<\/em> since it came out, but I remember loving it at the time. (There\u2019s a Gina Carano and Michael Fassbender fight scene that is absolutely dynamite.) But it\u2019s not surprising that he clashed with EON producers\u00a0Barbara Broccoli<\/strong> and Michael G. Wilson<\/strong>, who have been the stewards of the James Bond franchise for years and held very tight control over its creative reins. Still, I can\u2019t help but think that an honest-to-God Soderbergh Bond movie would have been really fun \u2013 especially if we\u2019d seen his movie either before Casino Royale<\/em> rebooted the franchise (maybe he could have done a one-off in the vein of On Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service<\/em>) or instead of Quantum of Solace<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This also would have made Soderbergh the first American to ever direct an EON Productions James Bond movie. That trivia footnote has since gone to Cary Fukunaga, who directed the forthcoming No Time to Die<\/em>, which is expected to arrive on April 2<\/strong>, 2021<\/strong>. And hey, at least Soderbergh got to work with a James Bond actor recently on Logan Lucky<\/em>, in which Daniel Craig is having an absolute blast as the wonderfully-named Joe Bang.<\/p>\n
