Steven Soderbergh Does Netflix With HIGH FLYING BIRD
I will follow every cinematic journey that Steven Soderbergh decides to go on. I’ve been hooked since Out Of Sight back in 1998 and every film he delivers offers something of brilliance.
He’s back with sports drama High Flying Bird starring Moonlight‘s André Holland. The Netflix film once again looks like another classy Soderbergh surprise. It drops on 8 February 2019.
The synopsis:
In the midst of a pro basketball lockout, sports agent Ray Burke (André Holland) finds himself caught in the face-off between the league and the players. His career is on the line, but Ray is playing for higher stakes. With only 72 hours to pull off a daring plan, he outmaneuvers all the power-players as he uncovers a loophole that could change the game forever. The outcome raises questions of who owns the game – and who ought to. Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) from a script by Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight), HIGH FLYING BIRD features an acclaimed ensemble cast that includes Zazie Beetz, Melvin Gregg, Sonja Sohn, Zachary Quinto, Kyle MacLachlan and Bill Duke, plus appearances from NBA athletes Reggie Jackson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Donovan Mitchell.
