HBO Max and Warner Bros. Pictures are commencing production on “No Sudden Move”, directed by Oscar and Emmy winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. The mastermind behind hit films, “Erin Brockovich,” The Oceans Trilogies,” “Magic Mike,” and “Lucky Logan.”

“No Sudden Move” is set in 1955 Detroit, and centers on a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. When their plan goes horribly wrong, their search for who hired them – and for what ultimate purpose – weaves them through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city.

Produced under Soderbergh’s overall deal with HBO Max. The film’s future’s a stellar cast with Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, Amy Seimetz, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta, Kieran Culkin, Brendan Fraser, Noah Jupe, Bill Duke, Frankie Shaw and Julia Fox. The script was written by Ed Solomon with Casey Silver also attached to produce.

“The last time I shot a movie in Detroit with a great script and a great cast things worked out really well, so I’m very excited behind my mask right now,” said Steven Soderbergh.

“Steven is a prolific, forward-thinking director who has a two-decade history of making movies at Warner Bros. We look forward to continuing his legacy at WarnerMedia with his intense crime thriller,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

“It’s a pleasure to begin production on another project with Steven Soderbergh, Casey Silver and Ed Solomon,” said Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max. “We have an incredible partner in Warner Bros. Pictures and an extraordinarily talented cast – we couldn’t be happier to bring “No Sudden Moves” to HBO Max.”

Production began Late September, following the COVID-19 safety protocols and health guidelines. HBO Max and Warner Bros. Pictures’ first priority is the health and safety of employees, production partners, cast and crew.
