HBO Max included a tasty first look atMeryl StreepinSteven Soderbergh’sLet Them All Talkearlier this week. The first look was sandwiched in between previews for fellow HBO Max original movieAn American Pickleand animated seriesSummer Camp Islandas part of a trailer previewing new content coming soon to the streamer. This is the first official look we’ve gotten at the latest Streep-Soderbergh collab (RememberThe Laundromat?) since theproject was initially teasedback in August 2019.
The first look atLet Them All Talkoccurs at the 1:52 mark in the new HBO Max preview trailer aptly titled “We’ve Arrived.” In addition to previews for other HBO original movies and TV shows coming our way, we gets about eight seconds worth of Streep and maybe one of the most delightful supporting casts in a Soderbergh movie sinceOcean’s 11:Candice Bergen,Dianne Wiest,Lucas Hedges, andGemma Chan. We also get a few plot details forLet Them All Talkfrom this brief preview. The first is that Streep’s character, a famous author, is going on a cruise with her nephew (Hedges) and friends (Wiest and Bergen). The second tidbit is that is seems Streep’s character is going through a bit of a crisis, as Bergen’s character asks, “Who’s the real you?Does anybody trust you?”
This first look atLet Them All Talkalso gives me the distinct impression this might be Soderbergh returning to his charming, comedic sensibilities we’ve seen in the past with movies likeLogan Lucky. After a string of rather stern dramas —Unsane,High-Flying Bird, and the aforementionedThe Laundromat— getting a funny (and possibly bittersweet) Soderbergh sounds pretty dang great right now. Plus, with an A+ cast like the one assembled here, led by Streep, it’s hard to imagine this one being anything less than delightful.
Let Them All Talkis coming soon to HBO Max. Check out the preview of Steven Soderbergh’s first HBO Max project below, along with tons of other original movies and TV shows. For more, catch up with all the HBO Max news you need righthere.
