Really? I was pretty sure he was back at the helm, but I could be wrong.
Edit: IMDB seems to think he's directing again.
Edit again: x-posty, natch.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The trailer said that everyone from the first movie is involved, but I didn't see Soderbergh's name anywhere.
He is involved. After Full Frontal and Solaris he's probably not the selling point anymore.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Mini-Closer/Shaun Of The Dead factette - closer is written by the brilliant patrick marber, who before he was one of the UK's hottest playwrights (if his debut, Dealers Choice, ever comes near you kill for a ticket) was one of the crew behind The Day Today, the second best british TV comedy of the '90s which led directly to (among much else) Spaced, The Office, Father Ted, Alan Partridge (who was the sports reporter on TDT), and basically every funny UK show since.

Huh. Soderbergh. Unnecessary sequel. Why? I'd generally assume it's to give Don Cheadle more screen time, but he wasn't used particularly well in the first one.
Thanks for the tip, Jim.

Why?
Hundreds of millions of dollars?

Also he needs a hit, and frankly I imagine they are an absolute blast to make.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
surprisingly nationalistic
I thought it was at least partially funded by the government, so not much of a surprise if that's the case.

Story I heard was they went to some place in Europe, and he was all, "This is where we're filming the sequel."
Dude just wants to have fun.
