Warner Bros. has announced director Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion starring Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises), Matt Damon (We Bought a Zoo), Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet will brings its infection to Blu-ray and DVD on January 3.

Contagion is the story of a deadly virus that spreads as quickly as a blogger who writes about a government cover-up to further send the public into chaos. It opened theatrically on September 9, 2011, and earned over $135 million in worldwide box office business.

The Blu-ray edition of Contagion will include the DVD and a trio of bonus features: False Comfort Zone: The Reality of Contagion (Blu-ray exclusive), The Contagion Detectives (Blu-ray exclusive), and Contagion: How a Virus Changes the World. An UltraViolet copy will also be included.

The SRP for Contagion on Blu-ray is $35.99.

While it is as of yet unclear whether Marion Cotillard will head to Venice for Saturday’s world premiere of ‘Contagion‘ before taping her talk show appearances it seems that the John Cameron Mitchell-directed new Dior commercial is being filmed this week in Los Angeles (source: Ceasar Fernando Barajas). [edit:] According to Terry Mcshane and Alexa Michelle they’re filming today.

If you want to look at a scene from ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ that Marion shot with Gary Oldman in Pitsburgh before finishing her filming and going to LA a bit over a week ago watch this video on YouTube, courtesy of Nickolay. While it is shaky you still get a good look at Marion.

It’s been announced today that ‘Contagion‘ will open the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland on September 22, 2011. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go (source: Hollywood Reporter).

I added some screencaptures and clips that were released on the weekend and mentioned in a previous update. Enjoy!

Enjoy the new clips. I particularly loved the interview and seeing Marion Cotillard’s long hair properly.
