Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender to Star in Spy Thriller "Black Bag"

Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender are attached to star in the  spy thriller movie "Black Bag".

Steven Soderbergh is on board to direct the feature project, which has a script by David Keopp. This is the latest team-up between the director and writer, who have the thriller Presence premiering at the Sundance Film Festival Friday.

Like many of Soderbergh’s projects, this one is being kept hush-hush although it is known to be set in the UK. The plan is to shoot in May in London but no deals are set yet.

Casey Silver and Greg Jacobs are producing. CAA is handling the sale. 

"Black Bag" is the latest high-profile and high-wattage feature package that has hit Hollywood in the last two weeks.

Ryan Coogler is out with a secret genre thriller that has Michael B. Jordan attached to star. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have 28 Years Later, a sequel trilogy to their zombie classic 28 Days Later.
