Even the ‘Presence’ Cast Are in Awe of How Lightning Quick Steven Soderbergh Works | Video

Sundance 2024: The filmmaker shot his unique ghost story under a shroud of secrecy, doing only “two takes max” for each shot

No one in Hollywood works quite like Steven Soderbergh, and that’s something the members of the cast of his new film “Presence,” who weren’t used to his deeply collaborative but rapid-fire style of directing, quickly found out.

The cast of “Presence” — Lucy Liu, Julia Fox, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday and West Mullholland — talked to TheWrap about working under the shroud of secrecy on this ghost story in which the camera shows the perspective of the ghostly presence inhabiting a house bought by a new family.

“I was so terrified to have the script go out…people on the team would ask if they could read the script and I said ‘no,’” Liu said at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP.
