As if Steven Soderbergh is actually Nostradamus, the filmmaker’s almost-decade-old “Contagion” seemed to lay out a similar story to the one that was experienced all over the world in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. And naturally, when you have a film become so relevant that it’s being talked about almost non-stop a decade later, there are going to be questions about whether or not there’s a potential sequel to be made.

Over the weekend, WarnerMedia took a major step in its plan to make HBO Max a legit contender to Netflix by releasing one of its biggest films of the year, “Wonder Woman 1984,” on the streaming service. Not only did this set a precedent of releasing a potentially billion-dollar blockbuster on HBO Max at the same time as theaters, but it also showed that WarnerMedia was willing to release some of its superhero properties directly on a streaming service instead of worrying about a traditional release.

Steven Soderbergh is the type of filmmaker that is never going to hold back details of a project for fear of saying too much.

Over the past couple of weeks, since the announcement that WarnerMedia is releasing all of the 2021 WB films on HBO Max the same day as in theaters, it appears that almost every filmmaker that has publicly spoken about the move has disagreed with the idea of collapsing the theatrical window. And those that understand the decision are still upset that WarnerMedia didn’t warn filmmakers before the announcement.

With the recent announcement of the actors joining the forthcoming “Game of Thrones” prequel series, “House of the Dragon,” we are inching closer to the return of Westeros on HBO. And though there has already been one false-start, with HBO turning down another untitled prequel series that shot a pilot with Naomi Watts, it appears that the premium network isn’t done developing more ‘Thrones’ series.

WarnerMedia’s awkwardly revealed re-invention of Hollywood’s release windows has stirred anger among filmmakers and their reps, with fists clenched and threats exchanged. But then there’s Steven Soderbergh, the idiosyncratic filmmaker who reminds us that he is above it all.

‘It stopped being a party a long time ago,” is the new tagline for season four of HBO Max‘s “Search Party” and ain’t that the truth. Originally on TBS, “Search Party” was seemingly a fun, amusing, hip, funny show about millennials and millennial angst.
