Cate Blanchett stars in a spy film directed by Steven Soderbergh

Cate Blanchett is still dedicated to action and adventure, although those genres have not been favorable to her lately (Borderlands, Rumours). Now he does it in Black Baga spy film that promises a good dose of action and intrigue that has just announced its premiere for next March 14 worldwide. Blanchett was placed in the hands of Steven Soderbergh, who is also not having much luck, and is expected to have a script by David Koepp (Jurassic Park y Mission: Impossible) take aim.

The story is about a couple of spies, the married couple between Kathryn Woodhouse (Blanchett) and George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), who are faced with a leak of very sensitive information that can put the lives of millions of people at risk. The issue is that the main suspect is her, and the person in charge of the investigation is him. Thus the central theme will be the truth, the lie, the trust, how much one knows the person who was at one's side for so many years and loved one another so much.

Cate Blanchett and the divas that filled the room

Something similar Blanchett just did in Disclaimera series that threatens more than it offers, due to its inability to break political correctness, and not because it becomes reactionary, but because of its lack of audacity to become avant-garde. But here there is no space for Disclaimerbut for an actress who seems to be, along with Nicole Kidman (or, further back due to the decision not to film as much, Julia Roberts) the last examples of an endangered species: that of divas whose presence filled the room.

It's not that there aren't great new actresses. Cinema is simply the medium that no longer synthesizes the fantasies of multitudes. In fact, a good part of the heroines of series and movies based on video games lack fame when they reach that leading role, and they do not always achieve it afterward. It is true that the world needs to dream, but every beauty has a time, which in turn has a cinema, a narrative form, and there is little point in forcing things even if business dictates it.
