Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh is returning to Seattle to shoot scenes for a thriller called “KIMI,” starring Zoe Kravitz.

According to The Seattle Times, crews could be in town this week to film exterior scenes. The Times previously reported on a call for extras to work on the film.

Kravitz stars as “an agoraphobic tech worker” who “discovers recorded evidence of a violent crime and tries reporting it,” the IMDb description for “KIMI” reads. “Finding resistance and bureaucracy, she will have to do what she fears the most.”

When Seattle Met reported on the project in March, details about a sub-plot included “protest-filled Seattle streets.” And since the film is being shot during the pandemic, masks on extras are expected.

Interior scenes for the film were shot in Los Angeles earlier this spring, the Times reported.

Deadline reported that “KIMI” will premiere on HBO Max. It’s Soderbergh’s third collaboration with the streaming platform.

The director, known for such films as “Sex, Lies and Videotape,” “Traffic,” and “Ocean’s Eleven,” visited Seattle and HBO’s engineering offices to promote a previous project in 2017.

“It’s not a film, and it’s not a TV show. It’s kind of its own thing,” he said at the time about the “Mosaic” app he made for HBO.

Soderbergh most recently served as producer of the 2021 Oscars ceremony.

A nonprofit promised to preserve wildlife. Then it made millions claiming it could cut down trees

The Massachusetts Audubon Society has long managed its land in western Massachusetts as crucial wildlife habitat. Nature lovers flock to these forests to enjoy bird-watching and quiet hikes, with the occasional bobcat or moose sighting. But in 2015, the conservation nonprofit presented California’s top climate regulator with a startling scenario: It could heavily log 9,700 acres of its preserved forests over the next few years. The group raised the possibility of chopping down hundreds of thousands of trees as part of its application to take part in California’s forest offset program. The state’s Air Resources Board established the system to harness the ability of trees to absorb and store carbon to help the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals. The program allows forest owners like Mass Audubon to earn so-called carbon credits for preserving trees. Each credit represents a ton of CO2. California polluters, such as oil companies, buy these credits so that they can emit more CO
