Ever since coming out of his short retirement from filmmaking in 2017, Steven Soderbergh has given us “Logan Lucky,” “Unsane,” “High Flying Bird” and “The Laundromat.” In fact, a year at the movies wouldn’t be complete without a film from the chameleon director. This time Soderbergh is taking on Comedy/Drama with his ‘Laundromat’ star Meryl Streep. In “Let Them All Talk,” Streep plays an author who embarks on a trip with her nephew (Lucas Hedges) and her friends in a journey of self-discovery.
Screener links for “Let Them All Talk” are starting to make the rounds, I was told that a bunch of New York-based critics has already received their copies of the film. This likely means that Soderbergh’s latest will premiere on HBO Max in the next few months. Yes, this was never going to be a theatrical release, at least ever since HBO bought the rights to the film. I am also being told that it will not show up at any of the fall festivals, instead opting to premiere digitally.
In “Let Them All Talk,” Streep is joined by Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest, Lucas Hedges, and Gemma Chan. There is currently no release date for the film, but an October release has been rumored for a few weeks now. Meanwhile, HBO Max is about to release the Seth Rogen-starring “American Pickle” on their platform this Friday, expect a review later in the week.
Aslan is described as "he," with heterochromic eyes and red-striped face, a look Gerwig says was inspired by David Bowie. So this isn't a gender-swap. Aslan is still a male lion. He's just voiced by a 77-year-old woman.
