(Web Desk) - Angelina Jolie is one of Hollywood’s legendary actresses. Jolie rose to prominence after her iconic role in Interrupted in 1999.
Since then, Jolie has always been in the news for one reason or another. But this time, she has something sweet for her fans. Angelina Jolie is set to return to screen with Pablo Larrain's next biopic, Maria.
She will play the role of legendary opera singer Maria Callas. As reported by the Hollywood Reporter, the first look at the movie is out as Larrain prepares to shoot the film.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie takes on the role of famed opera singer Maria Callas in the first photos from Pablo Larran's biopic Maria.
The latest film from the Jackie and Spencer director will explore the life of the legendary, iconic, and controversial singer, often described as the original diva, according to its official description.
"Based on true accounts, Maria tells the tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic story of the life of the world's greatest opera singer, relieved and re-imagined during her final days in 1970s Paris."
Pablo Larrains said in a statement, “I am incredibly excited to start production on Maria, which I hope will bring Maria Callas’ remarkable life and work to audiences all around the world, thanks to the magnificent script by Steven Knight, the work of the entire cast and crew, and especially Angelina’s brilliant work and extraordinary preparation."
Jolie's clothes are based on actual garments worn by Callas, including historic fur items from Massimo Cantini Parrini's archived collection, on which they worked with PETA to avoid using new fur.
Meanwhile, Maria is produced by Fabula's Juan de Dios Larran, Komplizen Film's Jonas Dornbach, and The Apartment's Lorenzo Mieli. FilmNation Entertainment will handle worldwide distribution, as per the report.
