The Deliverance: Andra Day and Glenn Close Interview
13When Andra Day effortlessly transformed into the iconic soul singer in Lee Daniels’ The United States vs. Billie Holiday, it was clear that the Emmy-award-winner’s artistry went beyond her sultry voice. She joins forces with Daniels once again for the upcoming horror film, The Deliverance. In the film, she stars as Ebony, a struggling single mother battling an addiction who then has to fight off paranormal elements on her own to save her family. Day’s mother is played by Glenn Close. The Deliverance is based on the real-life Ammons haunting case.
Close shines as Alberta, a no-nonsense newfound Christian who chain-smokes while undergoing cancer treatments and helping her daughter care for her three children. The mother-daughter pair have an unsettling past, and their relationship is contentious. Yet, there’s something beautiful under the chaos.
Ahead of the film’s premiere, Day and Close spoke with Collider about the duality of filming a horror movie while enjoying their time together on set. They also discussed their preparation for the project.
