A ghost story seen through the ghost’s perspective? That’s the unusual if compelling premise for Steven Soderbergh’s “Presence,” in theaters this weekend.
Steven Soderbergh’s directorial credits include Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven, and Magic Mike. His latest, Presence, is a supernatural thriller shot entirely in the first-person perspective using a Sony Alpha 9 III mirrorless camera.
The actor joins Q’s Tom Power to discuss her starring role in Soderbergh’s new horror thriller, Presence, which tells a haunted house story from the point-of-view of the ghost.
Lucy Liu was taken aback by how different 'Presence' filmmaker Steven Soderbergh's approach to directing was compared to Quentin Tarantino on 'Kill Bill'.
Also starring Julia Fox, Chris Sullivan, and Callina Liang, Presence originally premiered at Sundance Film Festival last January, where Neon bought the distribution rights in a $5 million deal. Critics described the film as a “slow burn,” despite the film’s brief 85-minute runtime, so settle in.
Stylist Sarah Slutsky Tooley, who also counts Rachel Zegler and singer McKenna Grace as clients, dressed Liu for the occasion. The “Kill Bill” star wore her dark tresses straightened, while her makeup consisted of winged eyeliner and a pink lip.
In his nomadic career, Soderbergh has been a big-screen name happy to work for Netflix and HBO. Presence, though, is clearly made to be watched in the cinema, with a crowd, preferably while being under 19.
Lucy Liu stars in the director’s clever haunted-house mystery that adopts the perspective of the specter.
Lucy Liu said it would "be so much fun" to film a "Charlie's Angels" reunion when she appeared on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday.
