Release Date: September 9th, 2011

Cast: Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet

Director: Steven Soderbergh

Synopsis:

'Contagion' follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.





More stoked now after that trailer, can't wait.
Looks like a very compelling drama.

Additionally, I wish I had a dollar for every time that trailer fades in and out.
This looks like it could be right up my street. I've been disappointed by pandemic style films in the past but I keep hoping! And that trailer was pretty interesting.
Now that you bring up pandemic-style films, that's a subgenre that is greatly underrated.

Yep. Really glad I skipped this for Drive even though I heard this was pretty good, as well.

First off, that's fucking awesome.

Second, it's funny because when I saw the trailer I thought it was a remake of The Stand and that's what made me want to see it too.
I liked the Stand and this movie looks pretty hard core. I will have to see it when it comes out on DVD.
All the reviews are praising it for it's acting, story and emotional tugs.
I want to see it but probably will have to wait til it's out on DVD because SOMEBODY doesnt want to go to movies with me( he knows who he is)
