Netflix western Godless may have mis-marketed itself as female-driven, but the idea of a mining town run by women feels notably specific. So much so, in fact, that filmmaker David Lowery mused about the similarity to one of his own projects, and producer Steven Soderbergh has aggressively come out against the notion.
Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and created by Scott Frank, Godless has been marketed by Netflix as a western series about a small town inhabited almost entirely by women who have to defend themselves against a vengeful outlaw. But the promotional materials — including trailers, posters and official stills — are entirely misleading, and if you settled in to watch Godless over the holiday weekend expecting the female-driven version of Deadwood, you were more than likely disappointed.
Steven Soderbergh just re-watched ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ and it’s quite clear he still hasn’t picked his jaw up from the floor. The ‘Logan Lucky’ director sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and couldn’t help but gush about what he saw onscreen in George Miller’s action masterpiece.
A Steven Soderbergh Netflix western already grabbed our attention, but the full Godless trailer makes this one a must-see. Visit a deadly “town full of ladies” in an extended sneak peek of the new limited series, featuring Michelle Dockery, Merritt Wever, Jeff Daniels and more.
In 1989, a 26-year-old Steven Soderbergh changed the landscape of indie cinema with his feature debut, Sex, Lies, and Videotape. That’s a pretty impressive accomplishment, and one he might not have achieved if Lucasfilm had hired him back in 1984. Instead, the iconic studio behind one of the world’s most popular franchises rejected Soderbergh, as evidenced by a letter recently unearthed by the multi-hyphenate.
