Sorry I was away for a week on a trip. I am back now! So lots of updates to be added.

Warner Bros.’ global thriller “Contagion” features three of today’s most admired women in cinema: Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Marion Cotillard.

“Contagion” follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart……..

………Simultaneously, at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, clusters of new cases light up sectors on a world map as epidemiologist Leonora Orantes, played by Marion Cotillard, works urgently to reconstruct the final days of Beth’s itinerary and connect the seemingly random dots that lead back to ground zero. And patient zero.

“Fortunately for Orantes, ” explains Cotillard, “we now have video cameras everywhere so the first thing she does is study the footage from the cameras in Beth’s hotel, the elevator and the casino. But even that can only take her so far. You can discover a point of contact between two people, and you know both of them became ill, but it could have gone either way – the question is, which one of them infected the other?

“Meanwhile,” she adds, “Time is the enemy. As quickly as Orantes and the others work, the virus is moving even faster. People are dying and desperation is growing.”

Opening across the Philippines in September 9 in IMAX and regular theaters, “Contagion” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
