"Contagion": In Theaters Now!

Infecting theaters with its full-blown epidemic, the highly-anticipated sci-fi thriller "Contagion" made its release today (September 9).

The Steven Soderbergh directed film hosts an array of A-list celebs, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne and Jude Law.

The movie, which centers on "the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak," struck a cord with Mr. Damon, as he is a self-proclaimed germaphobe.

As for how he feels not that he's finished work on "Contagion," Matt told Buzzinefilm.com, "I'm probably more protective than I've ever been now that I have children. I try not to be. My wife's name for me is "Red Alert." I sometimes just check to see if the kids are breathing, but no. I think it's a probably tendency to be a little overprotective without trying to be a helicopter parent."
