Exclusive: Steven Soderbergh has dedicated more than four decades to shaping his legacy in Hollywood as a director, cinematographer and producer. But instead of splurging on yachts or a home in the South of France, he is investing in the future of independent filmmaking by mentoring directors like Joe and Anthony Russo, Christopher Nolan and most recently Eddie Alcazar. He and Alcazar’s second collaboration (after 2018’s Perfect) is Divinity, which hits theaters nationwide Friday after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival.
The film, set in an otherworldly human existence on a barren planet, follows Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula), a scientist who has dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum known as “Divinity.” Jaxxon Pierce (Stephen Dorff), his son, now controls and manufactures his father’s once-benevolent dream. Society has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose...

Forsake all those who search for “Divinity,” the otherworldly Sundance breakout epic based on the search for immortality.
Eddie Alcazar writes and directs the film, executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and distributed by Utopia and Sumerian.
Set in an otherworldly human existence, scientist Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula) dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum named Divinity. Jaxxon Pierce (Stephen Dorff), his son, now controls and manufactures his father’s once-benevolent dream. Society on this barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose true origins are shrouded in mystery. Two mysterious brothers (Moises Arias and Jason Genao) arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and with the help of a seductive woman named Nikita (Karrueche Tran), they will be set on a path hurtling toward true immortality.
Bella Thorne, Mike O’Hearn, and Emily Willis also star.

Judges from Food Network’s popular Chopped competition served up behind-the-scenes secrets with a side dish of hearty laughs, during their appearance at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Thursday.
Maneet Chauhan, Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, Marc Murphy, Marcus Samuelsson and Chris Santos held court at the biannual press event, where they took turns disclosing their “bucket lists” for the long-running series.

James Marsden and Brazilian model Rose Costa are expecting their first child together.
The New York Post reports that the "X-Men" actor, 38, and the Ford model, 24, were not romantically linked before spending one night together in Miami. Costa was in Miami on a layover from Brazil, where she was renewing her visa.
Marsden divorced his first wife, Lisa Linde, in October 2011 after 11 years of marriage. The ex-couple have two children, Jack and Mary, together.
And though Marsden was reportedly single when he met Costa, things were more complicated for the model. Costa was reportedly in a serious relationship with actor Chris Santos, who was "heartbroken" when he found out about his girlfriend's Miami "layover."
"She confessed everything," a source told the Post. "She told him they hooked up one night, one time."

This is a review of The Girlfriend Experience (starring Sasha Grey, Chris Santos, Philip Eytan, T. Colby Trane and Peter Zizzo, directed by Steven Soderbergh). An odd beast, Steven Soderbergh; an odd, Janus-faced movie beast. An Oscar-winning director (nominated twice in the same year—a feat only equalled once before, in 1938, by Michael Curtiz, who didn’t win) who pumps out the mall-pleasers like Ocean’s 11, 12, and 13 (though the mall was, apparently, less pleased with 12), Out of Sight, and—let’s face it—Erin Brockovich.

The Box (12A)
(Richard Kelly, 2009, Us) Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella. 116 mins
Will Kelly ever make another movie as good as Donnie Darko? There are signs here that he might, but he hasn't this time. The Twilight Zone plot – press the button on this box and you'll get $1m, but someone will die – opens up more moral/conspiracy/sci-fi elements than the film can handle. Still, too much is better than not enough, especially when it's as smoothly sinister, visually sophisticated and borderline bonkers as this.
Me And Orson Welles (12A)
(Richard Linklater, 2008, Us/UK) Zac Efron, Claire Danes. 114 mins
Efron graduates from High School backstage to Welles's 1930s theatre troupe in this sweet coming-of-age flick, holding his own against Christian McKay's rakish, bombastic Welles – even when they fall for the same girl.

I don't think Steven Soderbergh has ever missed quite as badly as this: a shallow, negligent piece of work, badly acted and casually put together
With a film-maker as prolific and fluent as Steven Soderbergh, there are bound to be some misses to go with the hits. But I don't think Soderbergh has ever missed quite as badly as this: a shallow, negligent piece of work, badly acted and casually put together.
The Girlfriend Experience is a digital video picture about a high-class prostitute called Chelsea, played by real-life porn star Sasha Grey. Chelsea is in a committed relationship with Chris (Chris Santos), a personal trainer who doesn't mind what she does, but is one day horrified when Chelsea announces that she has formed an attachment to one of her clients, and is going away with him for a few days. Is it love? Or is it an extended engagement,...

Actress Sasha Grey states that her name was dually inspired by The Kinsey Scale of sexuality and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. It is Dorian Gray I recall as I sit in a tiny screening room with the crisp, Vogue editorial, beauty of The Girlfriend Experience unfurling on the screen before me. Utter lack of affect in the face of unspeakable actions. Is prostitution unspeakable? Perhaps, at least, it is the latter-day love that dare not speak its name.
When Steven Soderbergh selected Grey as his muse for this Sex, Lies and Videotape for an Apprentice generation, speculation was rife (and ribald) that The Girlfriend Experience would be as blue as the economic mood upon its release. Pleasingly nothing could be further from the truth.

Dir: Stephen Soderbergh Cast: Sasha Grey, Chris Santos, Mark Jacobson, Glenn Kenny Chelsea (Grey) is a ‘smoky-eyed’, high-class escort in New York City. She charges rich businessmen thousands of dollars, by the hour, for her company; but it isn’t the sex that they are paying for – they could go to any old hooker for that – it is ‘the girlfriend experience’. Chelsea lives in a sumptuous, open-plan apartment with her real boyfriend Chris (Santos), a personal trainer who is supportive of her career choice. Chelsea seems fairly content, but the life she has chosen is a transitory and hollow one, and she is clearly incapable of finding any real peace or solidity. She wants to elevate herself to the next level of ‘escorting’, and will go to almost any lengths to do so. She also begins to wonder if her life with Chris is satisfying enough, and decides that a...

Set at the time of the 2008 Us presidential elections, The Girlfriend Experience follows Manhattan escort Chelsea (21-year-old Sasha Grey, voted best female performer in XXX films last year), a savvy businesswoman who offers the "girlfriend experience" to her clients: dinner and movie dates, chats, sex — and even that most indecent of habits, kissing. Sounds like fun? Perhaps it is, but then there’s both the boyfriend (Chris Santos) and a special writer (Philip Eytan) from Los Angeles. Sounds decadent? Well, that’s nothing compared to the free fall of the global economy thanks to the (truly) obscene behavior of bankers and their politician-whores. While the world financial markets crumble, Chelsea gets laid — and ponders about how to best invest [...]...

Chicago – Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience” is a captivating, fascinating examination of the way we have turned every element of our lives into a business transaction. With “Che,” “The Informant!,” and this fantastic drama, Soderbergh is continuing to make the case that he is one of the most important American filmmakers working today.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
“The Girlfriend Experience” opens with a casual night that could be from any romantic drama - a nice dinner, a trip to the movies, a few glasses of wine, some petting on the couch, and some sex. All of it is punctuated by light, easy-going conversation from the jaw-dropping Chelsea (Sasha Grey, giving one of the best performances of the year). But this is not a typical date. This is “the girlfriend experience”. Chelsea is getting paid. But not in a “Leaving Las Vegas” or even “Pretty Woman” way. It’s exactly what the...

Steven Soderbergh has never been an easy guy to pin. His debut feature, Sex, Lies and Videotape exploded all over the world on release 1989 and it remains one of the seminal films in recent independent cinema, paving the way for a new band of film makers in the early nineties, single handedly put the then unheard of Miramax in the spotlight and hijacked the way vital low budget cinema was being produced and marketed. Veering every which way since, Soderbergh has turned his hand to remakes, crime novels, indulgent exercises in style, massive 4 hour biopics and dabbled in ground-breaking ways to shoot and release cinema. Little change in the pattern of chaos here then as the workaholic releases his 19th feature film in as many years and once again takes a screaming u-turn. Beautifully shot for 1.3 million dollars on his new beloved Red digital camera, Soderbergh strangely decided to call...

The Girlfriend Experience
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Sasha Grey, Chris Santos
Running Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: May 22, 2009
Plot: A high-class female escort (Grey) struggles with economic obstacles and boyfriend (Santos) tension while trying to a maintain a sophisticated list of clients.
Who’s It For? Admiration for Soberbergh’s pretentiousness may be exhausting to some, as about half the people who see this film will smell more “fart” than “art” in this rather artsy-fartsy Experience.
Expectations: Going into it, I didn’t know too much about Soderbergh’s latest. The poster itself looked pretty tres chic though. At the least, I expected it to be scored with atmospheric guitars heavy on reverb.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Sasha Grey as Chelsea: In no way is Sasha Grey the second coming of a T-800 (Arnold’s model in The Terminator), but her portrayal of high-class escort Chelsea is a bit robotic.

- The Scorecard Review
Visually beautiful yet sickeningly distant in its presentation, The Girlfriend Experience is either a treatise on veneer thin materialism or an exercise on what independent features should not be: coolly detached with nary a reason to care about a single character in the film. Steven Soderbergh, who is a master of capturing inner turmoil (Sex, Lies, and Videotape) but can also have smirky fun (Oceans 11 & 12, not so much 13), creates a feature that is a beauty to behold. Sadly, beneath the glamour shots of New York City and designer duds, the story line and, more importantly, the characters, fail to create even a droplet of authentic emotion nor a reason to watch the film’s events unfold for its scant hour and 17 minutes. It’s no surprise that Soderbergh’s cinematography is exquisite, but filling the captured emptiness with the emptiness of shallow characters does little for its audience, assuming that...

Studio/Run Time: Magnolia Pictures, 77 mins.
In The Girlfriend Experience, Sasha Grey plays a high-priced escort whose relationship with her boyfriend Chris (Chris Santos) is on the rocks. She’s contacted by a client that, due to reasons both good and bad, she thinks may be the one she'd like to spend her life with. Meanwhile, her boyfriend is growing colder and their conversations becoming less worthwhile. He, alternately, is feeling stuck in life and envious of the rich clients he works with as a personal trainer. The film follows their last days together, in a meditation on love, sex and most of all, money.

Steven Soderbergh brings porn star Sasha Grey into the mainstream, where she may belong.

Sasha Grey isn't the first porn star to attempt a mainstream-movie crossover. Skin-flick vets like Marilyn Chambers, Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn have all given it a shot, with middling to mediocre results. (And does Pamela Anderson count?) But in Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience," the 21-year-old Grey — an art-film buff who drops names like Godard and Varda on her Web site — makes the most credible transition to date. Playing a high-end Manhattan escort named Chelsea is hardly a stretch for the star of "Sex Toy Teens" and "Strap Attack 6," but her casting is more than a stunt. With her sleek demeanor and smoky gaze, Grey has real presence; and while the extent of her acting ability is anybody's guess, she's strikingly self-possessed,...

The Girlfriend Experience reviewby Steve Ramos Soderbergh finds an unlikely muse in intimate, beautifully shot ‘Girlfriend Experience’ The digital revolution means just about anyone can buy a handheld digital video camera and become an instant filmmaker. Still, equipment alone is not enough to make someone the next Steven Soderbergh. The flip side of this theory is that a low-budget, digital movie from Soderbergh does not guarantee the feature instant success. Granted, Soderbergh is a famous, well-regarded filmmaker and it's fair to say that his profile is why people seek out "The Girlfriend Experience" in the first place. Once they watch it, an intimate, beautifully shot, follow up to his 2006 digital drama "Bubble," audiences will discover an enthralling relationship tale in perfect sync with our cynical times. Chelsea (porn star Sasha Grey in her mainstream debut) may look like just another NY fashionista with her stylish black chemise and clunky sunglasses...

As the latest personal project of director Steven Soderbergh, The Girlfriend Experience is his low-budget look at the life of a call girl in New York City. Starring in her first feature film is porn star Sasha Grey, who is attempting to make the near-impossible crossover from hardcore adult entertainment to more mainstream fare.
The “hooker with a heart” script seeks to explore the transactional nature of the world’s oldest profession. As a prostitute, Chelsea (Grey) trades emotional investment for investment advice and $2,000 an hour, delivering the “girlfriend experience” for lonely men needing various forms of affection. Her written accounts of the high-class appointments read like nothing more than business rundowns of the encounters punctuated by whether or not the customer scheduled another “date.”
Grey’s slender frame fits in almost every one of the film’s, and though she may be a porn professional, as an actress Grey is flat and amateurish.

Plenty of adult film stars have gone mainstream, from the late Marilyn Chambers ("Rabid") to Ginger Lynn Allen ("The Devil's Rejects"), and even Traci Lords (whose long-time public resentment over being labeled an ex-porn star probably isn't helped by her supporting bit in "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"). However, sleepy-eyed sex starlet Sasha Grey -- already one of the hottest properties in her biz today -- may have trumped her predecessors with the central role in a penetrating, thrilling Steven Soderbergh drama that played Sundance. Shot cheaply and quickly last October with no other professional actors and a largely improvised script, "The Girlfriend Experience" follows Manhattan escort Christine, a.k.a. "Chelsea" (Grey) as she tries to juggle her job and a relationship with physical trainer Chris (Chris Santos). By phone, Grey thankfully didn't charge me by the minute as we talked about her "Girlfriend" experience, how she first became a cinephile,...

Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a Manhattan call girl with a unique specialty: she provides a full girlfriend experience to her clients. This means, at the cost of $2000/hour, she will show up in a little black dress, eat at Blue Hill, listen to rants about the stock market, have sex, and read the Times over a fruit plate in the morning. Even with the constant specter of the failing economy, Chelsea's business appears to be recession-proof. But despite the luxe life she already leads - town cars, shopping sprees at Costume National, a floor-through apartment - she craves an even greater degree of success and is shown in the film's nonlinear narrative meeting with consultants on how to expand and improve her business. Her live-in boyfriend Chris (Chris Santos) is a personal trainer who appears to have little trouble with her lifestyle; he also shares her ambition. The only problem...

Have you been secretly sneak previewing films before they open in theaters? I'm not talking about illegally downloading a big Hollywood flick like X-Men Origins: Wolverine or buying cheap pirate DVDs on the street. Indie distributors IFC Films and Magnolia Pictures have been pioneers in making their releases available via video on demand (VOD) systems, as reported by Anne Thompson at Variety last summer. IFC releases some titles direct to VOD, bypassing theaters entirely, while others are released to theaters and VOD at the same time.
Magnolia first experimented with the so-called "day-and-date" model in 2005, with Steven Soderbergh's Bubble, and has since made a few titles available several weeks in advance of a theatrical release as "sneak previews." (That's how I was able to see James Gray's Two Lovers two weeks before it opened locally.) Soderbergh's latest film, The Girlfriend Experience, will be available via VOD on April 30 before...
