Soderbergh's Full Frontal Teaser Released

By Jack May 14, 2002 11:06 AM

I've been following the development of Steven Soderbergh's new film Full Frontal very closely because of it's unique production guidelines set by Soderbergh. A teaser trailer has been released.

Check it out.

Some Full Frontal Factoids

Directed by: Steven Soderbergh.
Starring: Julia Roberts, Blair Underwood, Nicky Katt, Catherine Keener and David Duchovny.

Some of the "unique production guidelines set by Soderbergh" include the following list of rules which he had attached to the screenplay:
? ?
? ?1. All sets are practical locations.
? ?2. You will drive yourself to the set. If you are unable to drive yourself, a driver will pick you up, but you will probably become the subject of ridicule. Either way, you must arrive alone.
? ?3. There will be no craft service, so you should arrive on set "having had". Meals will vary in quality.
? ?4. You will pick, provide, and maintain your own wardrobe.
? ?5. You will create and maintain your own hair and make-up.
? ?6. There will be no trailers. The company will attempt to provide holding areas near a given location, but don't count on it. If you need to be alone a lot, you're pretty much screwed.
? ?7. Improvisation will be encouraged.
? ?8. You will be interviewed about your character, This material may end up in the film.
? ?9. You will be interviewed about the other characters. This material may end up in the finished film.
? ?10. You will have fun whether you want to or not.
? ?
? ?If any of these guidelines are problematic for you, stop reading now and send this screenplay back where it came from.
? ? ?
I've also read that the fee for Julia Roberts is rumored to be $25,000 for this film in which she appears in a nude scene for the first time.
? ?
Steven Soderbergh used mostly hand-held digital cameras and Filming took only 18 days.

The film follows Soderbergh's previous film Sex, Lies and Videotape.

I know, that sucks.. I don't think anyone can download it because it's streaming.

See if you can get it off the official site.

Did Apple and / or Cannon underwrite this movie?

I have read quite a few articles referring to the fact that Steven Soderbergh used Cannon digital cameras to shoot most of Full Frontal and Apple laptops to edit it. My guess is that Apple and / or Cannon sponsored this movie? Top marketing firms like Ming Diamond Price PR use this type of sneaky marketing strategy for its clients all the time. The movie is an excellent example of viral marketing, but they sure picked a weird movie. What was Soderbergh thinkin??
