PRESENCE | On Digital Now, 4K Ultra, Blu-Ray and DVD May 20th
Award-winning film studio NEON is excited to announce the release of Steven Soderbergh’s Presence for digital purchase and rental, beginning February 25th. The film will also be available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD starting May 20th.
After NEON acquired the film at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Presence went on to receive even more critical acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival and has since generated significant buzz thanks to a unique marketing campaign. The campaign began with a captivating Julia Fox realtor billboard stunt in downtown Manhattan, featuring a phone number that received over 1,500 voicemails. Presence is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and has grossed nearly $7 million in theaters.
It moves through the house, uneasy and unseen, a witness to the most painful and unguarded moments of the troubled family within. And with a growing urgency, the Presence gradually pieces together what it needs to do. An unusual, unnerving, and emotional thriller from writer David Koepp and director Steven Soderbergh. Hailed as “an innovative and dizzyingly immersive thriller” and “a shattering mystery that will chill you,” PRESENCE was written by David Koepp, directed by Steven Soderbergh, and stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, West Mulholland and Julia Fox.

Set in 1888 Germany, “Trailblazer” brings to life the remarkable true story of Bertha Benz, who defied societal norms by embarking on the world’s first road trip in her husband Karl Benz’s revolutionary Motorwagen.

The VR experience invites users to step into Bertha’s shoes, exploring her workshop, assembling the revolutionary engine, and joining her on the historic journey through beautifully rendered landscape of 19th century Germany.
“Bertha’s determination and courage are incredibly inspiring,” said Daisy Ridley. “I hope audiences are as moved by her journey as I was while working on this project.”
The critically acclaimed VR experience, which premiered to widespread praise at the Venice Film Festival and SXSW, is executive produced by BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated Lesley Paterson (All Quiet on the Western Front), Daisy Ridley, and Emmy-nominated Eloise Singer (The Pirate Queen).
“Trailblazer: The Untold Story of Mrs. Benz” will be released on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 on March 7, 2025, in celebration of International Women’s Day.

I want the audience to experience what it was like to be in the room and in conversation with unvarnished ambition, excellence, and beauty and to feel their awe, joy, frustration, love, and triumph.

JULIE KEEPS QUIET | In Select Theaters March 28th
As the star player at an elite youth tennis academy, Julie’s life revolves around the game she loves. She trains hard, pausing only for class or physical therapy before returning to the gym fixated on making it into the Belgian Tennis Federation. When her coach Jérémy is suddenly suspended following the suicide of one of his female protégées, all the players at the academy are encouraged to speak up about their experiences with him. Julie, however, decides to keep quiet. Despite strong suspicions from those around her that Julie’s relationship with Jérémy was inappropriate at best, her persistent silence begins to speak volumes. Confused and full of anxiety, the pressure she once channeled solely towards training shifts inward, affecting her confidence, her focus, and her game.
Executive produced by tennis champion Naomi Osaka, JULIE KEEPS QUIET, which made a splash at last year’s Cannes in the Critics’ Week section, is a “tense, taut, artfully hushed debut feature” (Variety) by Belgian writer-director Leonardo van Dijl.

ANDOR | Season 2 Trailer – Streaming on Disney+ April 22nd
Disney+ released the teaser trailer and poster for the highly anticipated second season of Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller “Andor,” which returns for its long-awaited conclusion on April 22. Season 2 will see the characters and their relationships intensify as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound.
Rife with political intrigue, danger, tension, and high stakes, the series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction: The Death Star, setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. “Andor” sets the clock back five years from the events of “Rogue One” to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.
Says creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy, “One of the great thrills of making ‘Andor’ is the scale of the story and the number of characters we’re able to meet — ordinary people, Imperial overlords, passionate revolutionaries. They are real people making epic decisions, all of them staring down questions with terrifying consequences. Cassian’s journey is the soul and spine of our story, but it’s the choir that makes the show. I’m so excited for audiences to see where we go in Season 2.”
The final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter will premiere April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week.
“Andor” Season 2 stars Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, Alan Tudyk, with Ben Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker. The series was created by Tony Gilroy, who also serves as an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna, Luke Hull and John Gilroy. Tony Gilroy wrote the first three episodes, with Beau Willimon writing episodes 4-6, Dan Gilroy penning episodes 7-9 and Tom Bissell putting pen to paper for episodes 10-12. The directors for the series are Ariel Kleiman (Eps. 1-6), Janus Metz (Eps. 7-9) and Alonso Ruizpalacios (Eps. 10-12).

With this special edition of the film available only on Vision Pro, viewers will feel completely immersed in the music and storytelling of Surrender. Releasing an immersive version of the film for Vision Pro alongside its debut on Apple TV+ is the latest example of Bono’s enduring commitment to innovation.

Bono executive produces with Jennifer Pitcher (“Kiss The Future”) and Kelly McNamara (“V-U2 an Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas”).
“Bono: Stories of Surrender,” an abridged and updated paperback edition of Bono’s bestselling memoir, will be released concurrently with the documentary film. Introspective, intimate and irreverent in equal measure, this version has been refined to mirror the arc of his one-man show and features a film tie-in book cover and new introduction by the author.
Born Paul David Hewson, Bono has been headlining stadiums around the world with U2 for more than four decades. The band has sold over 175 million records and won 22 Grammys. A longtime activist in the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty, Bono is also the co-founder of ONE and (RED). For his music and activism, he has been awarded the Freedom of the City of Dublin, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, France’s Legion of Honor and an honorary British knighthood.
