In Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh's latest film, The Christophers, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are an electrifying on-screen pair as an esteemed but out-of-commission painter and a young artist and forger brought together by his scheming children. The script is penned by screenwriter Ed Solomon, who joins Soderbergh for a wide-ranging conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub, where they discuss their collaboration on the drama, "controversial" projects that never took off, and the state of the movie industry today.
