This leads her into an affair with a doctor (Law).
The Scott Z. Burns (The Informant!, Contagion) scripted film is being financed by Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, with production to start in April. ’Side Effects’ will mark Mara’s first film with Soderbergh.

New International Poster For ’21 Jump Street’ – Starring Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum
Jan 30th
Columbia Pictures has released this Australian poster for the Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum starring comedy caper ’21 Jump Street.’ Whilst this poster is slightly terrible (“slightly” meaning “particularly”), I’m extremely optimistic about the actual film – its red band trailer cracked me up. Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), ’21 Jump Street’ is a remake of the 1980′s Television Series of the same name. The film follows an undercover police unit consisting of young looking officers (Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum) who infiltrate high schools to control youth crime. The likes of Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco, Jake Johnson, Johnny Simmons, Johnny Pemberton, Dakota Johnson, Ellie Kemper and Ice Cube co-star. ’21 Jump Street’ is released in cinemas March 16th.
In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier – and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

Her intake is ostensibly designed to help her deal with the anxiety surrounding the pending release of her husband (Tatum) from prison.
The Scott Z. Burns (The Informant!, Contagion) scripted film is being financed by Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, with production to start in April. ’Side Effects’ will mark Lively’s first film with Soderbergh.

Antonio Banderas Interview For Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’
Jan 18th
This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton , Michael Douglas, Michael Angarano; and introduces mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts.
Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary. ‘Haywire’ is out now in the UK. It’s set for release January 20th in the US.
First off, how did you get involved with ‘Haywire’?
Antonio Banderas: Steven Soderbergh is one of those guys you say “yes” to, sometimes without reading the script. I had the opportunity….he called me twice in my career, but I couldn’t actually work with him. One was for ‘Che’ and the other one was ‘Traffic.’ I was signed at that particular time with other movies, but I knew. I had talked to him very early when I came to Los Angeles. He just presented ‘Sex, Lies, and Videotapes‘ and I loved that movie. We were talking about Almodóvar, because he’s a fan of Pedro. So at that time, he said to me, “I would like to have the opportunity to work together some day.” But many years, almost twenty years happened in the middle (laughs). He sent me the script. It was very confusing to me, to tell you the truth, but it was an immediate positive answer to work with him. I don’t regret it for a second. It was great.
