Stars align in Steven Soderbergh’s crime thriller miniseries ‘Full Circle’

With “Command Z” and “Full Circle” out now, Steven Soderbergh continues build the legend that he’s the busiest filmmaker in show business. Why so busy? Part of the reason is because Soderbergh shoots his own films.

J. Kim Murphy SPOILER ALERT: This interview discusses the final episode of “Full Circle,” now streaming on Max. It’s fitting that everyone ends up back where they started at the conclusion of “Full Circle” – well, everyone that’s not dead or in police custody.

Just as the global pandemic seemed to profoundly accelerate the demise of movies and theatergoing—something we all cynically assumed would happen, but hell, not that fast! Not so soon! culturally, our internal clocks all have an impending sense of doom that seems to be ticking faster than ever. Climate change is something we presume will destroy our lives eventually, but globally, it’s been unnerving to watch raging forest fires in Australia that appear apocalyptic, or more recently, if you’re a New Yorker, experience firsthand alarming smoke and air quality pollution that looks like it’s been shot by Roger Deakins on the set of “Blade Runner 2049.” Intentional timed or not, this is where Steven Soderbergh and writer Kurt Anderson are coming from with their surprise new sci-fi-ish satirical series, “Command Z” (the Apple key command for “undo,” and specifically the computer power to negate a mistake; the serious was not officially announced until three days prior to release, and not for nothing, we were the only ones that reported about it months ago in advance).

Steven Soderbergh has been his ever-prolific self of late, with his limited series “Full Circle” premiering on Max last week and dropping yet another series, “Command Z,” exclusively on his website over the weekend. And NYC moviegoers lucky enough to be in the loop caught “Command Z” at a secret screening at the Metrograph last weekend, too, with Soderbergh in attendance for a Q&A.

Viaplay.“There is an Icelandic detective [Ragnar Jónsson] that has been on the force for 30-something years and he had this idea [for ‘Black Sands’] for the longest time,” Hamilton, 32, told The Post. “He wanted to write a TV series revolving around a young male police officer … and we actually met and started talking while I was doing another series and he was training me to handcuff people.“He shared his idea with me and I really liked it and said, ‘Have you ever considered this police officer as a woman?’ He said, ‘No, I haven’t.

Michael Cera has been announced to star in a new sci-fi series from director Steven Soderbergh.Command Z sees the actor take on the role of a project leader in the future who sends three people (Roy Wood Jr., Chloe Radcliffe and J.J. Maley) back to 2023 to infiltrate the minds of a number of people and change the course of the future.The series, which sees Soderbergh direct and produce, is available to watch now on the director’s website Extension765 – which also has a trailer.Command Z has also been promoted with a meta letter written by a likely fictional character called Fabrizia del Dongo, which confirms it consists of eight episodes and runs for a total of 90 minutes.“This very morning, our fearful leader explained that in three days (July 17th for those who don’t want to do the math) we will be ‘dropping’ a series of some sort called COMMAND Z,” it begins.“If I seem hedgy, it’s because A) None of us have seen it; and B) it’s apparently about ninety minutes long, but there are eight episodes of varying length, so is it an actual series or just a movie cut up into pieces?”It adds of the secrecy of the project: “When I asked Mr/Dr Soderbergh why he’d done this, why he’d made this project and why he’d made it in secret, he said, ‘Hope, Fabrizia.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The scene where Robert Shaw gets eaten in “Jaws” is one of the most thrilling moments in movie history. After all of Steven Spielberg’s virtuoso framing and cool ’70s Hitchcock scare tactics, the shark’s big-mouthed consumption of a man who fully deserves to be eaten had a shockingly raw “Look, there it is!” exploitation-film brazenness. (One not inaccurate way to describe “Jaws” would be as the greatest B-movie ever made.) “The Flood,” an alligator-attack movie that’s also a violent prison-break thriller, takes its cue from that scene. Set in a backwater Louisiana police station during a hurricane, the film isn’t shy about serving up its big, nasty human-torso-meets-jaws moments. It’s basically a slasher movie with teeth.

Surprise! Steven Soderbergh may have already dropped a new series—the botched-kidnapping drama “Full Circle,” which premiered yesterday, July 13, on MAX (read our review)— but the uber-prolific filmmaker has yet another series premiering in three days. No, really.

Sophia Scorziello editor “This is historic — literally.” At least, that’s what a digital Michael Cera says at the start of the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming sci-fi comedy series, “Command Z.” The “Ocean’s 11″-through-“13” director has rounded up Cera, Roy Wood Jr., Chloe Radcliffe and Liev Schreiber for a post-apocalyptic look back at the year 2023, as they traverse into the past by putting a wormhole in a washing machine. The new series follows Soderbergh’s recent Max noir series “Full Circle” on Max, starring Claire Danes and Zazie Beetz. “Command Z” is set to premiere July 17 and will be available on Soderbergh’s website, Extension765.com.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired North American rights to “Once Within a Time” from Godfrey Reggio, the experimental filmmaker behind the cult masterpiece “Koyaanisqatsi.” The indie studio will release “Once Within a Time” theatrically in the fall of 2023, following its premiere as part of The Museum of Modern Art’s film series “Total Cinema of Sight and Sound: Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass,” which runs Sept. 26 – Oct. 4.  The movie is co-directed by Jon Kane, with original music is composed by Philip Glass with additional music and vocals by Sussan Deyhim. Glass, a legendary experimental composer, first worked with Reggio on “Koyaanisqatsi,” which was “presented” by Francis Ford Coppola in 1982. Reggio and Glass have collaborated on seven films over the last four decades, including “Visitors,” “Evidence,” and “Anima Mundi.”

Alison Herman TV Critic Since his “retirement” from filmmaking in 2013, director Steven Soderbergh has never fully backed away from the world of features: He has eight movies to his name in the past decade — more than some of his peers have produced in their entire careers. But Soderbergh did subsequently branch out into the world of TV, a medium he’s approached with the same enterprising, experimental spirit as he does his latter-period films. First came 2014’s “The Knick,” the Cinemax period medical drama helmed entirely by Soderbergh at a time when marquee directors were just starting to dabble in TV; then “Mosaic,” a project released in 2017 as both an interactive app and an HBO series, showing the same interest in new technology that’s led Soderbergh to shoot multiple movies on an iPhone.

Nicki Minaj is enjoying a «full circle» moment. The «Super Freaky Girl» rapper couldn't help but fangirl at Sunday's film premiere in Los Angeles, hitting the pink carpet to celebrate her contribution to the movie's soundtrack: . «I am so excited to be here and be a part of this entire moment,» Minaj gushed to ET's Will Marfuggi at the event, held at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium. «I'm glad that they thought of me because I'm excited just like everybody else is excited to see this movie.» Of course, Minaj was a natural fit for the project, as she's long channeled the iconic doll in her public persona.

A few weeks back, trailer editor Andrew Hegele got Film Twitter in a tizzy with his rundown of the great contemporary American filmmakers—and how long it’s been since they’ve made a contemporary movie. Spielberg, Tarantino, Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, the two Andersons (Wes and Paul Thomas); name after name, cinematic genius after cinematic genius, all turning out period pieces which, at best, say something about the present by saying something about the past.

EXCLUSIVE: LA’s Micheaux Film Festival (July 10-16) is to honor director Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) and actress Yvette Nicole Brown (Community).

Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison) has already made a name for himself in the music business as a Grammy Award-winning rapper, producer, and composer.
