Steven Soderbergh and Zoë Kravitz discuss their new HBO Max thriller 'KIMI,' previous projects like 'Contagion' and 'Big Little Lies,' Soderbergh's filming style, and more.
KIMI is Steven Soderbergh's next thriller, and this time he's targeting some familiar fears. Zoë Kravitz plays Angela, as an agoraphobic tech worker at an Amazon-like company called Amygdala Corporation. She spends her days listening to audio recordings from Alexa-like devices called KIMI. Throughout her workday, she encounters a shocking recording of a potential crime.
So often, I would be hitting David with things that were changes that I felt were better, and I had to hope that he would agree. One of my favorite things in the movie , the last interaction between Zoë and Devin [Ratray] and Byron [Bowers] at the door, was built on the set that day because we felt like we needed a button, like we need a landing. It doesn't have a landing. And we were trying to think about that. And Devin Ratray said, "She doesn't even know my name.
SODERBERGH: Well, we really didn't have a choice. It was one of these weird things, the premise that David pitched me was pre-COVID. And the story works without it, but it turns out to work even better with it, but we kind of inherited that without asking, and what I liked about it was, for most of us, the lockdown was a real psychological struggle. For Angela, [she] couldn't ask for a better excuse to not leave the house.
Steven, can you talk about the decision to cast Zoë? What made you think that she would be perfect for the role of Angela? I think that's something I really saw with Reese and Nicole, knowing every crew member's name and engaging with them. it's a beautiful thing. So it's an adventure, and it's, again, very scary. But working with Steven – that's what's even scarier than being number one, is working with Steven Soderbergh. Because he's a legend, and he works so fast, and you really have to be prepared. We get a couple takes every time – it's intense.
Steven, emerging technology has played such a big role in a lot of your recent projects. And now we've got KIMI, which is headed to streaming. So I'm really curious like what are your thoughts on the relationship between entertainment, TV, and technology? KRAVITZ: Yeah, absolutely. I think I was able to relate to Angela in a way that had this script come across my path a couple of years ago, I would have had to use a lot more imagination. But I had just spent the last six months – basically, I was working, but because I was working I was even more strict about leaving the house when I was shooting The Batman. So I had really been alone with a computer in my house for many months. And like all of us, it made me weird. I got weird.
