Steven MacLean expects signing movement soon as St Johnstone boss reiterates quality message

SPOILER ALERT: This interview discusses the events of “Command Z,” now available to purchase on its official website. AI anxieties are only getting higher. Global temperatures are skyrocketing.

With “Command Z” and “Full Circle” out now, Steven Soderbergh continues build the legend that he’s the busiest filmmaker in show business. Why so busy? Part of the reason is because Soderbergh shoots his own films.

Just as the global pandemic seemed to profoundly accelerate the demise of movies and theatergoing—something we all cynically assumed would happen, but hell, not that fast! Not so soon! culturally, our internal clocks all have an impending sense of doom that seems to be ticking faster than ever. Climate change is something we presume will destroy our lives eventually, but globally, it’s been unnerving to watch raging forest fires in Australia that appear apocalyptic, or more recently, if you’re a New Yorker, experience firsthand alarming smoke and air quality pollution that looks like it’s been shot by Roger Deakins on the set of “Blade Runner 2049.” Intentional timed or not, this is where Steven Soderbergh and writer Kurt Anderson are coming from with their surprise new sci-fi-ish satirical series, “Command Z” (the Apple key command for “undo,” and specifically the computer power to negate a mistake; the serious was not officially announced until three days prior to release, and not for nothing, we were the only ones that reported about it months ago in advance).

They’re going to change and they’re gonna change fast.

The Martin Campbell-directed adventure movie was produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and grossed $250 million at the worldwide box office in 1998. Spielberg was hand during the film’s 1997 production, and Banderas said the Oscar-winning director correctly warned him about the future of practical vs. CGI filmmaking. “Steven Spielberg said to me once when we were shooting, ‘This is probably going to be one of the last Westerns shot in the way the Westerns were shot in the old days, with real scenes with real horses, where everything is real, [real] sword fighting, no CGI,'” Banderas remembered. “Everything was [practical].”

With the writers and actors on strike, well, who the hell knows what’s going on? You may not hear from any actors, writers, or hell, even directors who are not doing press in solidarity.

Surprise! Steven Soderbergh may have already dropped a new series—the botched-kidnapping drama “Full Circle,” which premiered yesterday, July 13, on MAX (read our review)— but the uber-prolific filmmaker has yet another series premiering in three days. No, really.

Sophia Scorziello editor “This is historic — literally.” At least, that’s what a digital Michael Cera says at the start of the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming sci-fi comedy series, “Command Z.” The “Ocean’s 11″-through-“13” director has rounded up Cera, Roy Wood Jr., Chloe Radcliffe and Liev Schreiber for a post-apocalyptic look back at the year 2023, as they traverse into the past by putting a wormhole in a washing machine.

Steven Spielberg predicted an “implosion” in the Hollywood film industry 10 years ago, whereby he warned of ticket price fluctuation as a result of failing blockbuster films.Speaking at the opening of a new media centre at the University of Southern California alongside George Lucas back in June 2013, the directors envisioned a world in which the failure of half a dozen $250million (£190million) movies could result in a dramatic ticket price variances.Spielberg told USC students (via Hollywood Reporter) that price increases could mean “you’re gonna have to pay $25 for the next Iron Man, you’re probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln”.He added that students were trying to enter the industry at a time when event more established directors struggled with getting commercial releases into cinemas, saying his Oscar-winning 2013 film Lincoln came “this close” to premiering on HBO instead of a theatrical release.The Jaws director went on to say that some ideas from younger filmmakers are “too fringe-y for the movies”.He said: “That’s the big danger, and there’s eventually going to be an implosion – or a big meltdown.

Alison Herman TV Critic Since his “retirement” from filmmaking in 2013, director Steven Soderbergh has never fully backed away from the world of features: He has eight movies to his name in the past decade — more than some of his peers have produced in their entire careers. But Soderbergh did subsequently branch out into the world of TV, a medium he’s approached with the same enterprising, experimental spirit as he does his latter-period films. First came 2014’s “The Knick,” the Cinemax period medical drama helmed entirely by Soderbergh at a time when marquee directors were just starting to dabble in TV; then “Mosaic,” a project released in 2017 as both an interactive app and an HBO series, showing the same interest in new technology that’s led Soderbergh to shoot multiple movies on an iPhone.
