Steven Soderbergh will direct The Girlfriend Experience, a feature that focuses on the world of prostitution from the vantage point of a $10,000-a-night call girl.

Brian Koppelman and David Levien will write; they also wrote Ocean's 13 for the director.

Rather than go for star power, Soderbergh may set an adult film actress to play the lead role. This will be in the same style as Soderbergh's Bubble, using non-pros.

The title refers to a phenomenon in which wealthy men pay not just for the quality of a sexual encounter but also for a woman who will play the role of a perfect girlfriend. The arrangement apparently involves more intimacy than the usual prostitution relationship.
