Steven Soderbergh’s Bubble doesn’t hit theaters for another two weeks, but an HDNet Movies insider dropped some knowledge on me after he/she viewed the new HD master. Here are his/her thoughts:

Looks great in 1080i
Nothing happens for 40 minutes
…then…there’s a murder…kind of…
“…for what it is, the budget must have only been 20 bucks….”
Its only 74 minutes long
The acting is atrocious

Hmmm. Having cut many promos for HDNet and HDNet Movies, I can tell you the precarious trailer has me a bit confused. It tells you absolutely nothing about the movie - just shots of doll parts from a doll factory (a result of the terrible acting?)

I commend Cuban, Wagner, and Sodebergh for their ambitions in redefining production and distribution, but if the movie still sucks then who gives a damn how its aquired and marketed?

Regardless of my cynical contact’s thoughts, I’m looking forward to seeing this blown up (also heard the 35mm print looks great). Unfortunately, neither Denver or Boulder’s Landmark Theater is equiped with a digital 2K projector, because that’s where the real novelty is at.

Please let me know if you check this out on a digital projector. Go Progression.
