Anne Hathaway has multiple ginormous projects this year, including Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and The Devil Wears Prada 2. But the cool kids know that the real thing to anticipate is her upcoming art-house drama Mother Mary. The film, written and directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight), finds the glorious middle ground between “haunting” and “slay.” The trailer is narrated by Hathaway’s ominous co-star, Michaela Coel. “You are standing under the lights,” she says as Hathaway, with cool-as-hell bleached brows, stares at herself in the mirror. “You are doing what you’re born to do,” she says. The speech is intercut with shots of Hathaway performing “My Mouth Is Lonely for You,” an original song for the film written by avant-pop icon FKA twigs.
Toward the end of the trailer, the tone shifts toward horror. “We’re reinventing you,” Coel says. Then thunder crashes and a hand with an open wound gets gouged open. Then, a brief shot of Hathaway running through an open hallway. It’s a pop-music disaster!
Mother Mary also stars Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, and Atheena Frizzell. Along with Twigs, the music is written by Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff. It premieres in theaters this April. In your darkest hour, Mother Mary comes to eat.
