Steven Sodeberg Raises the Bar
Academy Award Winning director Steven Sodebergh will direct Girlfriend Experience, a feature based on a $10,000 a night prostitute’s vantage point. Brian Koppleman and David Lebien, the pair responsible for the screenplay of Ocean’s Thirteen will write the screenplay of this intriguing feature.
The recent scandal involving New York governor Elliot Spitzer and class-A escort Ashley Dupree has created a huge media frenzy and political issues causing the resignation of the governor, making this a huge factor into Sodebergh’s current project.Rather than casting Hollywood superstars, Sodebergh has announced that he’ll use adult movie stars for added impact.
The film will be produced and financed by Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner, partners for 2929 Entertainment through their label HDNet. Girlfriend Experience will be the second film that Sodebergh directs under their low-budgeted 12-movie contract. Though the films may be low-budgeted, the distribution to theaters, television, internet and DVDs will be wide enough to gain huge amounts of profits and distinction. No updates regarding casting and start of production are released yet.
