Summit Approaching Eco-friendly Light Commitment On Steven Soderberghs The Bitter Pill

EXCLUSIVE: Summit Entertainment is within final discussions to create a eco-friendly light commitment around the Bitter Pill, the Scott Z. Burns script that Steven Soderbergh will direct as his next film. Production will begin in April on the thriller with a budget within the $$ 30 million range. Deadline says Summit was the leader for any script that wasnt distributed broadly, a minimum of initially. David Linde’s Lava Bear and Vital were another initial places (producer Lorenzo di Bonaventuras deal can there be), though a couple of equity bankers mulled the project too. Soderbergh sparked towards the film after Warner Bros stopped The Guy From U.N.C.L.E. after arguments over budget and difficulty locating the lead after George Clooney dropped out while he was getting surgery. The film is really a potboiler within the Jagged Edge-Fundamental Instinct mold in regards to a troubled and depressed lady who's taking serious amounts of prescription medications to handle the anxiety all around the pending discharge of her husband from prison. Burns authored it in the past and arrange it at Miramax underneath the title The Unwanted Effects, planning to direct it but never getting there due to his busy scripting schedule that incorporated the Soderbergh projectsContagion, The Informant! and also the Guy From U.N.C.L.E. The offer was looked by UTA and Anonymous Content.
