Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh on his new film Presence, starring Lucy Liu
ABCWhile he wouldn't describe himself as a believer in the supernatural, per se, director Steven Soderbergh is less spooked than most by the idea of what might be there in the shadows. "I think about titles a lot because they make the difference between sparking somebody's interest and creating a completely neutral or, in some cases, negative reaction," Soderbergh says. Something strange Soderbergh says the concept behind Presence is "probably the simplest idea" he's had. "When I read, within the first five pages, you can really tell no film has ever been made like this before," Callina Liang told Women's Wear Daily. "Very quickly, you pick up on two things: That this whatever-it-is was a person, and that there's something sad about it," Soderbergh says.
