If you missed the debut trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion you can check it out to the right, but tonight I have for you the debut of the first poster for the film, which is set to hit theaters on September 9.
Soderbergh has amassed an impressive cast for this viral thriller including Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, John Hawkes, Josie Ho, Demetri Martin, Jennifer Ehle, Bryan Cranston, Elliott Gould and Sanaa Lathan and one thing I didn’t know prior to seeing this poster was that the film will be shown in IMAX theaters as well.
As for the film itself, Contagion follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.
I’ve added a larger version of the poster to the gallery here, but I’m sure the version below is large enough for you to get the drift.
