Anne Hathaway Transforms Into Enigmatic Pop Star in David Lowery’s ‘Mother Mary’ Trailer
A haunting trailer has arrived for Mother mary, the upcoming film from director David Lowery (The Green Knight, Peter Pan & Wendy) starring Anne Hathaway as a reclusive pop icon preparing for a highly anticipated comeback. Released today, the visually arresting preview hints at a psychological thriller layered with supernatural elements, diverging from a typical music industry narrative.
The film, slated for theatrical release next spring, centers on Mother Mary’s reunion with Sam Anselm, her estranged former costume designer, on the eve of her return to the stage.While the official synopsis describes a story of “long-buried wounds” resurfacing, the trailer suggests a far more unsettling and ambiguous journey. The tagline, “This is not a ghost story. This is not a love story,” further fuels speculation about the film’s true nature.
Alongside Hathaway, Mother Mary boasts a prominent cast including Hunter Schafer, atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs. The film’s sonic landscape will be equally compelling, featuring original music from Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff, and Twigs herself.
Hathaway has a busy slate of projects on the horizon, including The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, Flowervale Street, and Verity. Mother Mary represents a stylistic departure for Lowery following his recent adaptations, signaling a return to the more atmospheric and character-driven storytelling that defined earlier works. The film’s ambiguous premise and star power position it as a potentially significant release in the coming year, drawing audiences intrigued by its blend of psychological drama and genre-bending mystery.
