One hope for Soderbergh's smartphone
While Amazon, Netflix, and AppleTV + are trying to outshine each other in producing big-budget TV shows with big-name filmmakers and movie stars, producer Jeffrey Katzenberg has taken a different path. Next year, its platform, Quibi, will be launched, which will offer viewers TV series in short film format, and the service is responsible for its content selection, inviting talented representatives of the industry. Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven) also agreed to put his hand in creating projects in an unusual format - he will act as one of the producers of the show called Wireless.The idea for the thriller belongs to Jack Seidman and Zack Wachter, with whom Soderbergh has wanted to work since he saw the short film "Pocket" based on their script.“The project reflects our relationship with devices, and the decisions we make in the digital world are vital here”, - said Wachter. It is already known that Tai Sheridan (Ready Player One) will play the main role in the upcoming series. He will play a narcissistic college student abandoned in the Colorado mountains after a car accident. The only hope for salvation is the gadget with which the protagonist spent most of his life - his smartphone.  In addition to Soderbergh, filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro, Sam Raimi, Antoine Fuqua, Steven Spielberg and the Russo brothers are involved in creating content for Quibi.
