Steven Soderbergh signed a deal in January to make movies for Warners' HBO Max streaming service, and he's already making good on the contract with at least one film in the can thanks to crime thriller No Sudden Move. Next up for the director? KIMI, which will star Zoë Kravitz.
David Koepp wrote the script, which follows an agoraphobic tech worker (Kravitz) who discovers recorded evidence of a violent crime during an ordinary data stream review, she tries reporting it up the chain of command at her company. Meeting with resistance and bureaucracy, she realizes that in order to get involved she will have to do the thing she fears the most — leave her apartment.
The film will premiere on HBO Max in the US, which points to it hitting VOD here, though it could end up in cinemas given the government's re-opening plans.
