Steven Soderbergh

You can’t stop a good thief from doing what they do best, and you can’t stop Hollywood’s top actors from playing thieves over and over. This rings especially true as George Clooney and Brad Pitt seem eager to make Ocean’s 14, the fourth movie that would reunite them as a pair of delightfully charming master thieves.

For the third consecutive weekend "The Hitman's Bodyguard" was the top film in North American box offices, but the cinematic scene remained deep in the summer doldrums, website Exhibitor Relations reported on Sept. 3.

Steven Soderbergh is showing me a collage he’s been making. Half-finished, it sits on a table in his New York office. Composed entirely of movie stars in character, the work gives pride of place to Robert De Niro as a mohawked Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. He’s flanked by River Phoenix, John Belushi, Sacha Baron Cohen, Dennis Hopper and Catherine Deneuve.
