Sundance Dispatches: A 'Girlfriend Experience' Sighting?

From the desk of lunatic blogger Jeffery Wells: it appears that someone has been spreading information that Steven Soderbergh’s in-the-can DV film “The Girlfriend Experience” is to screen tomorrow on the lowdown, off the QT and very hush hush. Soderbergh himself has gone on record with Wells, claiming they were just scheduled to show some footage as he talked about the project. But who knows? Soderbergh might be being coy, as he tends to be, especially considering how anticipated “GfE” really is. The second of his six-film pact with 2929 Entertainment, it’s a sex-fueled story of a New York City escort that Soderbergh reportedly shot over one week this fall. The film stars gonzo porn star Sasha Grey, perhaps the most extreme adult film star to be featured in a mainstream production, and many are curious to see how the unorthodox starlet’s performance will be like. Most likely she won’t ask to be punched in the stomach while being piledrived, but who knows- Soderbergh’s an unpredictable guy.
