A Life Changing Lunch
Just days after her significant fight, Gina Carano received a call from a potential agent. The agent informed her that director Steven Soderbergh wanted to meet with her, initially causing some confusion for Carano. Despite her uncertainty, she decided to go with the flow. After agreeing, Soderbergh took a train, and they had a positive and productive four-hour lunch. Carano recounted Soderbergh saying, “‘Look, I don’t have a script yet and I don’t have anything. But I think you’re interesting, and I think I’d like to make a real-life action movie off of you,'” during an interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
