Contagion: Watch Gwyneth Paltrow Get Sick and Die [Video] Here’s the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, Contagion, in which Gwyneth Paltrow plays the Patient Zero of an avian flu epidemic that [SPOILER ALERT] kills a lot of people. Including Gwyneth! No kale juice cleanses or hot stone massages are going to clear up this nasty little bug, no sir. As if that isn’t a selling point already, you get Matt Damon as her “grieving” husband (he’s so good, you almost believe him), Kate Winslet as a recovering Purellaholic, and Marion Cotillard as a sneeze-ballistics expert. And we haven’t even mentioned Jude Law or Morpheus yet! But whatever, the real breakout star of this movie is the bearded doctor who gets to say, “Your wife is dead.” That guy is about to become the most popular man on the planet. Congrats, dude! You made it. [via NYM] More » [link]
