Having had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of Soderbergh’s work over the years, it’s fascinating to see him delve into the realm of horror with such a fresh and intriguing premise.

Get ready to be spooked soon by a fresh ghost story from renowned director Steven Soderbergh! NEON recently unveiled the initial trailer for Presence, an eagerly awaited horror-thriller from Soderbergh, which was first showcased at the Sundance Film Festival last year. The film is set to hit theaters early next year, following its long-awaited premiere.

In the movie titled “Presence“, you’ll find Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Julia Fox, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, and West Muholland as part of the main cast. Production for “Presence ” took place in 2023, despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, thanks to a temporary production agreement.

What Is Presence About?

In the movie titled “Presence“, a family settles down in a suburban home, growing increasingly certain that they’re sharing their space with something unseen. The narrative unfolds using first-person perspective scenes, as if seen through the eyes of the mysterious “presence” itself.

According to Soderbergh, what made it captivating was its sheer simplicity. When discussing this concept with aspiring filmmakers, he often emphasizes the importance of setting aside one’s ego, so as to truly listen to the story. He explains that on a large scale, the goal is to understand what the story needs and how it should progress. The project at hand was an embodiment of asking oneself, “What does it need?”
