AFI Festival ‘Haywire’ screening and star panel: videos, pics and reviews
Tweet
The AFI fest’s secret screening took place yesterday and the film was none other than ‘Haywire’. It’s star, new action heroine Gina Carano, director Steven Soderbergh, noted actors Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender were the special guests on hand.
“…A handsome, black-haired hardbody who wears an evening dress as easily as she does a hoodie, Carano exudes the sort of self-confidence and physical wherewithal that leaves no doubt she can prevail in any situation…In this, Haywire entirely and winningly succeeds…The script makes no attempt to assert its plausibility or realism; it is, instead, refreshingly frank about what it is, a simple, workable framework for the melees and mayhem…The fine use of locations, elegantly mobile shooting style and hair-trigger editing are all in line with what one expects from Soderbergh…The director shrewdly determined what she could and perhaps couldn’t do, and she delivered with a turn that makes other actresses who have attempted such roles, no matter how toned and buff they became, look like pretenders.” – Todd McCarthy (HollywoodReporter.com)

Co-Star quote: Michael Douglas on Gina Carano’s action scenes in Haywire
Tweet
Michael Douglas recently reunited with Traffic director Steven Soderbergh for Haywire, an action film in which he plays a CIA agent alongside real-life martial arts fighter Gina Carano. “It’s a little scary when you’re doing a scene with her,” he says. “My God, the fight scenes are … she beats the sh*t out of these guys. It’s like the real thing.”
