LOS ANGELES — Matt Damon and Jude Law are reuniting on screen to star in a thriller by Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh about the outbreak of a deadly disease, reports said Tuesday.

Damon and Law, who appeared together in 1999 hit “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” have signed to star in the film while Oscar winners Marion Cotillard and Kate Winslet are in talks to join the project, Daily Variety reported.

The film — titled “Contagion” — is described as an action-thriller which will unfold with multiple plotlines similar to Soderbergh’s 2000 film “Traffic”, which earned him a best director Academy Award.

Damon was most recently seen in the Clint Eastwood-directed drama “Invictus,” and will star in the upcoming Iraq war action movie “Green Zone.”
