A decades-long fascination with virology and a near-constant fear of a viral pandemic ensured that when I saw the first trailer for Contagion, I immediately struggled to maintain bowel control.  Steven Soderbergh's thriller depicts the global effects of an airborne virus that makes Ebola look like mild allergies, devastating the entire planet in a manner not dissimilar to the Great Mortality's multi-continental shakedown in the Middle Ages.  In order to convey the indiscriminate nature of such an virus, Soderbergh employs an ensemble featuring some of the most talented actors around, and six new character posters do a damned efficient job of reminding us that Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, and Jude Law are all in the movie.
