Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Presence’ Sells to Neon After World Premiere at Sundance


Steven Soderbergh's haunted house thriller has sold to Neon following its Sundance premiere.

It unfolds from the perspective of the spectral entity and is primarily interested in dramatizing the issues of the people living in the home, who seem to be grappling with a lot of interpersonal problems. The market at Sundance has been slower than usual, with deals taking longer to hammer out — that’s a sign of how challenging the box office has become for indie pictures. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Soderbergh’s “Sex, Lies, & Videotape,” which premiered at Sundance and helped launch the filmmaker and the festival into the stratosphere.
