The cast includes Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Julia Fox, Eddy Maday, and West Mulholland. Steven Soderbergh directs from a screenplay by David Koepp. Koepp and Corey Bayes serve as executive producers. Soderbergh’s behind-the-scenes team includes production designer April Lasky, costume designer Marci Rodgers, and himself as editor and cinematographer.
Presence opens in theaters on January 17, 2025.
