...missing creature is often on Ryder's mind. "Could you take a cell from a Morro Bay kangaroo rat and bring it back, and would it be the same?" he asks. "There are a lot of questions, but we don't have that option now because nobody saved the cells" while lab work was being conducted on the rodent in the 1970s. "The future will want to know about these species, and the lingua franca of biology is increasingly going to be genomic information. If nobody saves the DNA of these samples, it's going to be a very fragmented...
...people can tell stories," says Roberts, who will join Clooney and Brad Pitt in Soderbergh's upcoming remake of the 1960 Rat Pack heist flick Ocean's Eleven, "but a lot of people can't rally the troops the way Steven does.

He's a guy who on one hand has this freeze-dried rat in his trailer that he tortures people with - and then can talk about Shakespeare's language, about iambic pentameter. He's both those people." The question facing the $25 million man is this: Who exactly will he be in the coming decades? His image - the winking, wisecracking, pistol-packing hero-clown - is already showing signs of age. The '80s-style action movie he mastered is past its prime...
