What happens in the Maria trailer?
The Maria trailer sees Jolie’s Maria Callas reflecting on her life, career, relationships, and more during the final days of her life.
“Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie is Maria Callas, one of the most iconic performers of the 20th century in acclaimed director Pablo Larrain’s operatic Maria,” the official synopsis reads. “The film follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye. Maria reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.”
The script for Maria was written by Steven Knight. Larraín produces the movie alongside Juan De Dios Larraín, Jonas Dornbach, and Lorenzo Mieli.
Along with Jolie, the cast of the movie includes Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Valeria Golino, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Haluk Bilginer. Massimo Cantini Parrini serves as the costume designer, while Guy Hendrix Dyas is the production designer and Ed Lachman is the cinematographer.
Larraín is known for making 2016’s Jackie with Natalie Portman and 2021’s Spencer with Kristen Stewart. His filmography also includes 2012’s No, 2015’s The Club, 2019’s Ema, and, most recently, 2023’s El Conde.
“I’m excited to partner again with the Netflix team who care so passionately about movies,” Larraín said of the movie, via Tudum. “This film is my most personal work yet. It is a creative imagining and psychological portrait of Maria Callas who, after dedicating her life to performing for audiences around the world, decides finally to find her own voice, her own identity, and sing for herself. I’m deeply honored to tell this story and share it with audiences worldwide like Maria did with her life.”
Maria will be released in select United States theaters on November 27, 2024. It will then be available to stream on Netflix on December 11, 2024.
