Netflix has revealed the official poster for the upcoming Maria Callas biopic “Maria.” The film, which made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and later played at the Telluride, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals, stars Angelina Jolie as the legendary soprano as well as Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alba Rohrwacher, Pierfrancesco Favino, and Valeria Golino. Pablo Larraín directed the movie from a screenplay by Steven Knight.
“Maria” marks Larraín’s conclusion of his trilogy which is made up of films “Jackie” about Jackie Kennedy and “Spencer” about Princess Diana. “ Maria ” tells the story of the final week of Callas’ life and follows the soprano as she negotiates her public image and private self and reckons with the increasingly blurred boundaries between the venerated “La Divina” and the vulnerable human being. The film is generating Oscar buzz for Angelina Jolie as critics raved about the actress stating, “Jolie is a painting to be stared at in Pablo Larraín’s opulent drama, tottering around Paris in the 70s and drawing us into tragedy as thoroughly as Bellini or Puccini” The movie is set to hit theaters on Nov.
27, 2024, and will premiere on Netflix on Dec. 11, 2024. Categories.
