Netflix has released the first teaser for Maria from director Pablo Larraín and starring and Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie as legendary opera singer Maria Callas.
One of the most iconic performers of the 20th century Maria follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye. Much like his two previous films chronicling narrow pieces of life of two of the world’s most photographed and well-known women in the world – Jackie Kennedy (as played by Natalie Portman in Jackie) and Princess Diana (as played by Kristen Stewart in Spencer) – Larraín reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life, intercut with her loftier days of success. In the film, Callas supplies her own voice at the height of her career with Jolie, after a reported six months of vocal training, uses her own singing voice for Callas’ comeback attempt near the end of her life,
Shot by three-time Academy Award nominee Ed Lachman (Far From Heaven, Carol, El Conde) with production design by two-time Academy Award nominee Guy Hendrix Dyas (Passengers, Inception) and costume design by two-time Academy Award nominee Massimo Cantini Parrini (Cyrano, Pinocchio), the film co-stars Academy Award nominee Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog), Alba Rohrwacher (La Chimera) and Pierfrancesco Favino (Angels & Demons).
Maria will be released in select theaters on November 27 and on Netflix December 11.
