In Soderbergh's original film, "Chelsea" was played by real-life adult film star Sasha Grey in this version, the character will be portrayed by Mad Max: Fury Road actress Riley Keough (who, as the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, is also Elvis' eldest grandchild).īut the presence of FKA twigs' "Two Weeks" actually signals quite a shift in tone from the source material. The illicit nature of the song shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the content of the show itself: Like the 2009 film before it, Starz's The Girlfriend Experience will focus on a high-end call girl, her interactions with wealthy Manhattanites, and her struggles to balance her chosen profession with the rest of her daily life.
(And those are some of the more suitable-for-work lyrics in the song.) Although we don't get to hear many of the lyrics in the excerpt used, the song itself contains some pretty evocative - and racy - imagery: Feel your body closing, I can rip it openSuck me up, I'm healing for the sh*t you're dealingSmoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rollingMy thighs are apart for when you're ready to breathe in The track that can be heard pulsing throughout the trailer is "Two Weeks," the lead single from FKA twig's 2014 debut album, LP1. A new trailer for The Girlfriend Experience just dropped as the show prepares to debut its first four episodes at the Sundance Film Festival, and the song that underscores the two-minute preview might offer some clues about what to expect from this intriguing new show. Now his two worlds are colliding, as he's adapting one of his own films for the small screen: 2009's The Girlfriend Experience, which will now be a half-hour drama on Starz. Steven Soderbergh may be most famous for his Oscar-winning films like Traffic and Erin Brockovich - or even for his less Oscar-worthy fare like Ocean's Eleven and Magic Mike - but the acclaimed filmmaker is no stranger to television, either, having created the HBO political series K Street and executive produced both Cinemax's The Knick and Amazon's Red Oaks.
