"Contagion" follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart. The original screenplay is written by Scott Z. Burns ("The Bourne Ultimatum," "The Informant!").

"Contagion" is being produced by Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher ("World Trade Center"), and Gregory Jacobs ("The Informant!").

Filming will take place on location around the world, including sites in Hong Kong, Macao, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, London and Geneva. "Contagion" will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
