Much was made of Steven Soderbergh’s so-called “retirement”, but he only ever saw it as a sabbatical, and this year releases a new comedy called Logan Lucky.
Soderbergh, who last directed cult favourite TV series The Knick, was only supposed to be reading the Logan Lucky script as a favour, but felt compelled to direct it.
Logan Lucky is set for release on 18 August, 2017.
The heist premise and A-list cast might be reminiscent of Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy, but it’s how different Rebecca Blunt’s script is from those movies that attracted him to it.
