UNITED STATES: Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie is set to grace the silver screen once again, and this time, she’s bringing the life of legendary opera singer Maria Callas to life in Pablo Larrain’s upcoming biopic, ‘Maria’.
Angelina Jolie’s name has been synonymous with Hollywood stardom since her breakthrough role in ‘Interrupted’ back in 1999. Now, she’s back to enthrall audiences with her portrayal of the iconic opera diva, Maria Callas.
According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter, the first glimpses of the film have been unveiled as Pablo Larrain gears up to bring Maria Callas’s life to the big screen.
The biopic promises to delve into the tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic life of the world’s greatest opera singer, offering a reimagined perspective on her final days in 1970s Paris, based on true accounts.
What’s more, Angelina Jolie’s costumes for the film are meticulously crafted, with some based on the actual garments once worn by Maria Callas.
The production worked closely with Massimo Cantini Parrini’s archive collection, striving to avoid using new fur in collaboration with PETA—an ethical choice in line with the changing sensibilities of today’s audience.
Maria is produced by Fabula’s Juan de Dios Larrain, Komplizen Film’s Jonas Dornbach, and The Apartment’s Lorenzo Mieli. FilmNation Entertainment will handle worldwide distribution, ensuring that audiences around the globe can experience the compelling story of Maria Callas.
In a candid interview with Vogue Magazine, Angelina Jolie shared her journey of self-discovery and healing. After 2016, she made a conscious decision to reduce her film commitments to focus on her path to recovery. Jolie admitted that she hadn’t felt like herself in over a decade.
For those unfamiliar with the context, the actress filed for divorce from her then-husband, Brad Pitt, in September 2016, following a highly publicized incident on a plane.
As Angelina Jolie prepares to grace the screen once more, fans can anticipate her transformative portrayal of Maria Callas and another stellar performance from this Hollywood legend.
