A mysterious presence lurks within a family’s new home, silently observing their most private and unsettling moments. Directed by the acclaimed Steven Soderbergh—renowned for groundbreaking films like Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Ocean’s Eleven, and Contagion—Presence is a chilling and innovative thriller written by celebrated screenwriter David Koepp.
We recently spoke with the film’s impressive cast, which includes veteran actress Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Mulan), fan favorite Chris Sullivan (This Is Us), and talented newcomers Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, and West Mulholland. Each actor brought unique energy to their roles, contributing to the film’s haunting and emotional core.
Filmed entirely from a first-person point of view, Presence marks another daring and technically ambitious project from Soderbergh, a director who continuously pushes the boundaries of cinematic storytelling. His unconventional approach to shooting gives the audience an unnervingly intimate perspective, immersing them fully into the eerie world of the film.
During our interviews, the younger members of the cast expressed their excitement about collaborating with such a legendary filmmaker. They reflected on how Soderbergh’s reputation for innovation and his hands-on approach inspired them to take creative risks and step outside their comfort zones. The project not only challenged the cast and crew but also promises to deliver audiences an unforgettable and spine-chilling experience.
