For anyone who’s spent the last four years going through serious Steven Soderbergh withdrawals I’m here to say it’s time to get off the floor cloaked in your own vomit and tears and pay attention. We now have the first official image from his new movie, LOGAN LUCKY, and hopefully it’s enough to ease you back into a normal state of mind.
Check out stars Daniel Craig, Adam Driver and Channing Tatum doing some thieving below, and click to embiggen!
With an original script from Rebecca Blunt, LUCKY is about two brothers, Clyde (Driver) and Jimmy (Tatum) Logan, as they try to reverse a family curse and try to execute a robbery during the Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The film has a bonkers cast that includes Seth MacFarlane, Hilary Swank, Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, Katie Holmes, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough and, of course, Danny Craig. The movie will open on August 18.
This is not Soderbergh’s first foray into heist comedies, but this is his first film since releasing SIDE EFFECTS in 2013 and the HBO movie BEHIND THE CANDELABRA the same year. He’s put some time into the series THE KNICK with Clive Owen, but is returning to celluloid with LUCKY.
Soderbergh is one of the best working today, so this will probably rank high as a most anticipated for the year on many film buff lists. With the release of the image we could be getting a teaser soon, so stay tuned for that. Otherwise, get pumped for this movie, because obviously Craig broke down that wall with one punch. It’s not a matter of how hard he hit, but of how much the wall cowered beforehand.
Check out the whole cast in action on August 18.
