"Contagion" might be nine years old, but
Steven Soderbergh's well-received
pandemic thriller became one of 2020's
most-discussed films as the coronavirus
pandemic swept throughout the United
States. Soderbergh revealed during a
recent interview on the Happy Sad
Confused podcast that he is developing a
"philosophical" sequel to "Contagion"
alongside Scott Burns, who served as
screenwriter on the 2011 film. The
project appears to be in its early stages
and will unlikely be a direct sequel to
"Contagion," but Soderbergh noted that
it may touch on similar themes and ideas.
"I've got a project in development that
Scott Burns is working with me on, that's a
kind of philosophical sequel to 'Contagion,'
but in a different context," Soderbergh said.
"You'll kind of look at the two of them as
kind of paired, but very different hair
colors. So, Scott and I had been talking
about, 'So, what's the next iteration of a
'Contagion'-type story?' We have been
working on that; we should probably hotfoot
it a little bit." "Contagion" centered on
a fictional viral outbreak in the United
States, the chaos that ensued, and the
government's attempts to handle the
situation. The plot of "Contagion"
contained more than a few parallels to
artist. Since then, she has won the
hearts of millions of fans. She gained
fame in a short time through her
skillful acting in several movies.
Dighi's mother Doyel was a silver
screen actress. She has acted in many
movies including 'Rajlakshmi-Srikanta'.
Born on 25 September 1966 in
Bikrampur, Dhaka, Doyel made her bigscreen
debut in 1982 through the film
'Chandranath' directed by Chashi Nazrul
Islam. Her last film was 'Kabuliwala'
directed by Kazi Hayat.

going on now. Director Mostafizur
Rahman Manik said, "I am going to
make the film with the story of a
completely rural background. Love and
separations are the main issues. For a
long time no perfect village movie was
made in Bangladesh. Moreover, I have
never made such a movie. It can be
called a challenge.
Ador said, my first movie is with
director Manik. He is a renowned
director. I learned a lot from him. Hope
everybody enjoys the movie.

'Philosophical' Sequel to 'Contagion
the real-world coronavirus pandemic,
which caused the film to skyrocket in
popularity earlier in the year.
"Contagion" enjoyed a spike in views
through FandangoNOW and iTunes
shortly after the pandemic began
spreading throughout the United States.
Soderbergh and the "Contagion" cast
have shared their thoughts on the
coronavirus in recent months.
Soderbergh, who said he was taken aback
by the United States' response to the
pandemic earlier in the year, began
leading a Director's Guild of America
committee regarding safe filming
practices in April. "Contagion" cast
members such as Matt Damon, Laurence
Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Marion
Cotillard, and Jennifer Ehle recorded
safety PSAs earlier in the year, while Ian
Lipkin, who served as a medical
consultant on "Contagion," stressed the
dangers of the pandemic after he
contracted the coronavirus in March.

H o R o s c o p e
ARIes
(March 21 - April 20) : Intense emotions
are apt to dominate the scene today,
Aries. Don't do anything halfway. It's
time to give it your all or nothing. You
have the power to cut to the heart of the issue. Don't
hesitate. If you meet opposition, stay strong. There's
a valuable lesson to be learned. If you're being true to
yourself, you should have no trouble overcoming any
obstacle that stands in your path.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21) : There's an
overwhelming intensity about the day
that might make it difficult for you to
maintain the peace, Taurus. Strong
opinions and courageous emotions are clashing in a
climactic fashion. You might find yourself in the
middle of conflicting forces if you aren't careful.
Make sure you take care of yourself and your needs
before you try to patch up things for everybody else.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : You may feel extra selfconfident
today, Gemini, making you more
able to say and do the things you might
normally keep inside. Be warned, however,
that you're apt to run into some powerful, unexpected
opposition. The genius in you wants to come out and show
others what you're made of, but other people may have reason
to find fault. Don't let others' disapproval hinder your progress.
cANceR
(June 22 - July 23) : You might find
that others' strong opinions dictate
today's actions, Cancer. The
atmosphere is quite intense, so you
might want to lay low and let others have their
way. Don't try to put up a fight. Unexpected
opposition may come out of nowhere and take
control. There's a powerful force at work asking
you to do things with more passion than usual.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): Create your own
reality, Leo. It could be that you have the
puppet strings in your hands, but you're
too afraid to use them. Don't shy away
from responsibility. Take your time and don't lose
sight of your goals. The stakes are extra high today, and
you will find that the slightest movement is magnified
several times over. Be careful how you use your words.
They won't be taken lightly.
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): Things that you
thought were obvious may not seem quite as
clear as you'd like them to be, Virgo. Be
aware that there may be some intense
opposition to your plans. Take care of other people and their
emotions. You will find that a wall might suddenly go up,
putting a harsh barrier between you and your goals.
Consider your heart as well as your head.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Other people may
tend to snap under the emotional
pressure of the day, Libra, but you're well
suited to soar through with flying colors.
You're ruled by your emotions and you have no
problem navigating rough waters. Other people may
look to you for strength and support. Trust yourself
and try not to get lured off course by conflicting
opinions that don't seem to sit right with you.
scoRpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): There's a need for
decisive action today, Scorpio, and
you're the one fit for the job. Strong
wills and forceful opinions will win
out. Others aren't likely to be easily manipulated.
Everyone has a voice, and they won't be afraid to
use it. Make sure that you speak up on your
behalf or your best interests may be lost. Stand
up for yourself. It's now or never.
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): There may be tension and
opposition today, Sagittarius, so be prepared. It
could seem like everyone wants to rattle your
cage. Stand strong. There are forceful opinions
crying out to be heard. The more stubborn you are, the harder it
will be for important information to flow freely. Protect your
interests by standing your ground, but make sure you don't step on
other people's toes in the process.
cApRIcoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): What ails you now can
be eliminated if you're willing to stand
up and say exactly what needs to be
said, Capricorn. Going with the flow
may be an easy route to follow, but it might not
always take you down a path that leads to the
fulfillment of your dreams. Be a bit more aggressive
about your position today and outwardly project
yourself as the true master of your destiny.
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : It takes two to
tango, Aquarius. Remember that life
isn't a one-way street. There needs to be
a bit of give and take if you expect others
to treat you the way you want to be treated. Don't let
people take control when it comes to taking charge of
your own life. Others may be emotional and
stubborn. Don't waste your breath with useless
drivel. Say something meaningful.
pIsces
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : It may be hard to resolve
anything today, Pisces. It could be that
there's an overwhelming resistance making it
difficult to act according to plan. Today isn't
a good day to fight. If things don't seem to be going your
way, don't push it. Trying to strong-arm the situation will
only aggravate things and make them worse. You may need
to make some compromises in order to maintain the peace.
