Now, what movies should be on your radar as the season really kicks into gear? Keep your eye out for these titles, listed in alphabetical order, in the months ahead.
“Maria”
This is Pablo Larrain‘s third film centered on a notable woman in global history after “Jackie” and “Spencer.” His subject this time around? Opera great Maria Callas played by none other than Angelina Jolie. A rumored Venice world premiere, the film does not have a domestic distributor yet but is currently screening for distributors. It should have a home before the fall festivals. Especially considering Larrain guided Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart to Best Actress noms for the first two films.
