“I’ve got a big one for you. This is a big one.” When Steven Soderbergh, prolific filmmaker of such classics as Out of Sight, Traffic, and Ocean’s Eleven tells you a “big one” is coming, you pay attention and listen. And Soderbergh did not disappoint. On today’s episode of Flaviar’s NightCap Live, he revealed he’s written a sequel to his 1989 breakthrough film Sex, Lies, and Videotape. And he wants to make it.

Soderbergh didn’t elaborate on the plot details of the sequel, nor how long the idea’s been circling. It’s worth noting that his 2002 film Full Frontal was considered a spiritual sequel, though it features none of the original cast or characters from Sex, Lies, and Videotape. The original film was Soderbergh’s breakthrough film, putting him on the map as a filmmaker worth noticing. It premiered at Cannes in 1989, winning that festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or. Soderbergh was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay (and he calls himself not a writer), and the film wound up being preserved in the Library of Congress.
