Lee Daniels Reveals What The Deliverance Is Really About
4Lee Daniels is known to tackle taboo subjects that will spark conversation. His 2008 drama Precious catapulted him to new heights, earning one of its stars, Mo’Nique, an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. The film chronicled the disenfranchised life of an inner-city Black girl with two children, little education, and an abusive mother. Since then, he’s expanded his works with other buzz-worthy projects, including the five-season musical dramedy, Empire. His forthcoming horror film, The Deliverance, is sure to be the next project that has viewers talking.
The film centers on a family tormented by unexpected and unexplained evil after they move into a new home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The cast is star-studded, with Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Mo'Nique. Like Mo’Nique, Daniels also worked with Day on the Emmy-winning film, The United States vs. Billie Holiday. The chemistry between the cast makes the story even more believable.
The Deliverance will be released in select theaters on August 16, 2024, and will stream on Netflix beginning August 30. Ahead of the film’s release, Daniels spoke with Collider about why this based-on-a-true-story project was one he couldn’t ignore.
