Catherine Zeta-Jones is the most recent addition to Steven Soderbergh’s new medical thriller SIDE EFFECTS, making it the first time the duo have paired up since TRAFFIC (2000).
Jude Law, Blake Lively and Channing Tatum have already been singed up for the film, with Tatum already appearing in Soderbergh’s soon to be released film MAGIC MIKE.
The movie, which also reunites Soderbergh with screenwriter Scott Z. Burns, THE INFORMANT (2009), is said to be set in the world of psychopharmacology (the study of how drugs affect the human mind). Zeta-Jones and Law are said to play doctors with Lively a woman who becomes addicted to prescription drugs and begins an affair with Law’s character. Tatum, meanwhile, plays Lively’s character’s husband, a convict who is due to soon be released from prison.
SIDE EFFECTS will begin shooting later in 2012.
