Three more get Knockout

Steven Soderbergh continues to give the good stuff, at least casting wise, as Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Dennis Quaid and Michael Douglas all are in talks to be in his latest film entitled Knockout. The story sees a female spy (Gina Carano) working for a Blackwater-style security contractor who is betrayed by one of her teammates (THR). Writing the script is Lem Dobbs with Soderbergh directing.

Producing is Ryan Kavanaugh and Gregory Jacobs under Relativity Media. Lionsgate is handling the distribution with a still to be announced 2011 release date. Filming is scheduled to start up next month in several locations around the world.
