Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum had such a good time working together on Haywire that they’re teaming up again for a stripper movie (Magic Mike) based on Tatum’s life before he started starring in feature films. And while Haywire doesn’t involve strippers, it does provide the first starring role for mixed martial arts stand-out Gina Carano.
The action thriller opens on January 20, 2012 and also stars Michael Fassbender (soon to be seen in the NC-17 rated Shame), Ewan McGregor, Michael Angarano, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, and Bill Paxton.

The Plot:
Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive.
Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.
