Steven Soderbergh Is So ‘Fascinated’ by Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour That It’s Inspiring His Next Project: ‘I Would Go if I Could. There Aren’t Any Tickets! Full story below👇👇👇

People laugh that there is a college class being taught about her and I go, ‘There should be,’” the director tells Variety during a roundtable interview at Karlovy Vary Film Festival. “What she is doing, the way she is doing it… Nobody has ever done this before. The amount of control she has taken over. She is relentless.”

He continues, “These stories about doing the whole show on a treadmill, just to make sure she can do it?! It’s a success story and I am fascinated by that. [Screenwriter] David Koepp took his daughter to see the show and said, ‘You cannot believe what it’s like to be there.’ I would go if I could. There aren’t any tickets! But I watched the film.”

The Eras Tour is also on his mind when developing new work.

“I have been thinking about a project in which I analyze large scale, cooperative endeavors that work. Airports. Why do airports work? Or AA?” he says. “You look at the Taylor Swift concert, at this whole tour and it works. So why can’t we figure out Syria or any other conflict?”

Humor is a great delivery system for an idea and nothing lights up the brain like music, so this project better be funny and there should be some musical component as a way to open people up. I want you to come out on the other side after you see it, and feel different.”

In the meantime, he will echo Swift’s 2008 hit with the upcoming movie “Black Bag.”

“It’s a love story,” he says.

“It’s about two people in the intelligence community and it’s very intimate. When we were working on [ghost movie] ‘Presence,’ David Koepp said: ‘It might be interesting to make ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ where George and Martha are in the intelligence community.’ What would that be like? A month later, he had a draft.”

Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender have been tapped to star, joined by Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Pierce Brosnan and “Furiosa’s” Tom Burke.
