Maria reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva confronts her identity and her life,” reads the synopsis.
Maria’s first preview
“What do you want to sing?”says a voice, while Jolie responds at the end of the video: “Not today”. The trailer also includes snippets of Callas’ final days in Paris in the ’70s, from her personal moments to her stage performances.
Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Valeria Golino, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Haluk Bilginer They complete the distribution. The film was produced by Larraín, Juan De Dios Larraín, Jonas Dornbach and Lorenzo Mieli.
What Angelina Jolie said about singing in María
Jolie sings in the film, but recently explained to The Hollywood Reporter why that presented a bit of a problem.
“I don’t sing,” he said. “There was someone in my life who wasn’t kind to me when it came to singing.. It was a relationship that she maintained. So I assumed she couldn’t really sing. I had gone to drama school, so it was strange that that affected me. I simply adapted to this person’s opinion. So I had to overcome a lot of things to start singing.”
As Jolie explained, the filming process “grew and grew and grew until we were at La Scala. La Scala was where everything was heading. That was going to require the entire team, the entire public. I was so out of my comfort zone that I was dizzy. There was nothing else to do but jump, just jump flat out.”
About the process of recovering his voice, he said: “It took many months of singing classes. Months of learning to sing and then Italian classes and then the voice and doing all those things like her. You try to be precise.”
Jolie said that singing opera, which requires using “your whole body as hard as you can sing,” is “terrifying,” because “we are rarely asked in life to be all that we can be or to feel all that we feel.”
Maria will be released in select theaters in the United States on November 27 and on Netflix on December 11.
