A New 'Contagion' Poster Brings It All Together

Remember that series of six character posters from Contagion, the upcoming thriller from Steven Soderbergh and his The Informant! screenwriter Scott Z. Burns? You know, the ones featuring the famous faces of Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow and the thoroughly unnerving warning "DON'T TALK TO ANYONE. DON'T TOUCH ANYONE." All six were pretty memorable, but just in case you've forgotten and for the sake of efficiency, Warner Bros has gone ahead and combined all six into one convenient package. The new Contagion poster includes all six of those actors, plus a new tagline that may not be urgent as the last one, but is certainly no more comforting.

The poster is revealed before your very eyes thanks to Yahoo! Movies.

Contagion tells the story of an unstoppable pandemic, as a highly lethal and highly contagious virus finds its way into every nook and cranny of humanity. The cast of characters is divided between CDC doctors attempting to find some way to stop the virus and normal folks from all walks of life dealing with the virus and the accompanying societal breakdown. Not included in the poster above but definitely present in the film are John Hawkes, Sanaa Lathan, Enrico Colantoni, Elliott Gould, Demetri Martin, Bryan Cranston, and Jennifer Ehle.

Soderbergh's latest is just weeks away, as Contagion is set to hit traditional and IMAX theaters on September 9th.

Until then, here's the trailer, which never fails to disconcert:
