There's really no one else who can play hysterical quite like Julianne Moore. And in the trailer for MAP TO THE STARS, director David Cronenberg's (A History of Violence, Videodrome) latest, she's playing another woman on the verge of an emotional breakdown. An actress, no less, unraveling under the pressures of Hollywood in a story filled with similarly dramatic characters and tortured souls. More in the synopsis:
Yet unbeknownst to them, another member of the Weiss family has arrived in town - mysteriously scarred and tormented Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), just released from a psych ward and ready to start again. She soon works her way into a friendship with a limo driver (Robert Pattinson) and becomes personal assistant to unraveling actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), who is beset by the ghost of her legendary mother, Clarice (Sarah Gadon). But Agatha is on a quest for redemption - and even in this realm of the artificial, and the unearthly, she's determined to find it, no matter what it takes.
I have to say, I am really intrigued by this film. Like, I want to know more about all these people. I hope it delivers. Watch the trailer:

I agree. Cronenberg's "post horror" film directing has been very solid and I've enjoyed the films I've seen thus far! This sounds like a rather gripping dramatic rabbit hole of emotions that I'm hopefully looking forward to experiencing. Because Julianne Moore practically delivers all the time.
I'm really aching for this movie as well!
Really looking forward to this, love David Cronenberg's recent work.
