Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ Set For April 22, 2011 Release
Starring non-actor/mixed martial arts fighter Gina Carano, sources close to Haywire have described it to us as if Alfred Hitchock made a Pam Grier movie.
Featuring an all-star cast including Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Bill Paxton, Michael Angarano, Matthieu Kassovitz and Antonio Banderas, the picture is a gritty spy thriller written by Lem Dobbs (The Limey) and starring Carano as a black ops soldier on mission of revenge after she’s double crossed by one of her team-mates (we read the script and it’s taut, lean and mean; typically no-nonsense work by Dobbs).
We’re told the film will be receiving an April 22, 2011 release date. That means the film will be up against Sony‘s Born to Be a Star remake, Warner Bros. Crazy, Stupid, Love and ironically, Lionsgate‘s own Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family. It’s a smart move considering Haywire is essentially completely different from all those films and will target an entirely different demographic.
One of Anne Thompson‘s spies saw the film earlier this year and wrote her to say, Haywire is pretty fine. Very much like John Huston in his ‘Kremlin Letter’/’Mackintosh Man’ period. McGregor is playing in essence Erik Prince, added [her] informant, who also admired David Holmes’ way cool score.
