Cat’s out of the bag. Steven Soderbergh‘s upcoming 1950-set crime thriller, “No Sudden Move,” will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. The film, written by Ed Solomon (Soderbergh’s “Mosaic“), will debut as the Centerpiece Gala picture at this year’s festival, set to run June 9-20, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. The film will make its public premiere, shortly thereafter, expected on HBO Max July 1 (Solomon’s had this info public on his Twitter page for weeks, FYI).

“No Sudden Move” was scheduled to start production last year right as the pandemic was hitting. The production shut down, and a few planned actors that were immunocompromised (like George Clooney) had to drop out (Matt Damon took over for him, it’s a small part). Various actors were attached to the project one time or another (Josh Brolin, Sebastian Stan) but had to drop out for various reasons before the film shot.
