Consequently, the postponement prevented actors George Clooney, John Cena, and Sebastian Stan from continuing to work on the film. Now, the all-star cast will include the previously mentioned actors alongside Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Amy Seimetz, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta, Bill Duke, Frankie Shaw, and Julia Fox. “The last time I shot a movie in Detroit with a great script and a great cast things worked out really well, so I’m very excited behind my mask right now,” said Soderbergh in a statement.
Written byMen in BlackandBill & Ted Face the Musicscribe Ed Solomon,No Sudden Movecenters on a group of small-time crooks in 1955 Detriot who are hired to steal a seemingly simple document. However, the crooks end up searching for who hired them after their plan goes horribly wrong. In their quest to discover the purpose for which they were hired, the group finds themselves weaving “through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city.”
No Sudden Moveis part ofthe three-year first-look dealSoderbergh signed with HBO and HBO Max this year. The filmmaker previously collaborated HBO Max on the upcoming drama titledLet Them All Talkstarring Meryl Streep and Gemma Chan.
TheOcean’sfilms are not Soderbergh’s only experiences with heists. As recently as 2017, the filmmaker officially came out of retirement to helm the heist comedyLogan Luckywith Channing Tatum andJames Bond actor Daniel Craig. (It’s a great film in and of itself, but an absolute must-see for Craig’s performance.)
No Sudden Movewill be released on HBO Max on a yet-to-be-announced date.
