actor Daniel Craig

Soderbergh’s latest movie is Logan Lucky, which was written by Rebecca Blunt, based on two brothers, Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde (Adam Driver), who attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina.

The film also stars actor Daniel Craig, Seth McFarlane and Katie Holmes. Soderbergh says he worked hard to get Craig on board, knowing how much his 007 persona follows him around.

“He’s the Roman candle of the piece. Knowing how much pressure he is under, I told him, ‘I don’t care how you look and you don’t have to do any press if you don’t want to.’ I think his sense of freedom is palpable in the film — it seemed like he really enjoyed being able to just cut loose, tear up the screen and split,” the 54-year-old said.
