Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas in Maria
Angelina Jolie is legendary opera singer Maria Callas in new images from the upcoming biopic Maria. The film is set to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, which begins today. Netflix has acquired the film for US distribution.
Maria will depict Callas, the 20th century's most famous soprano, in the twilight of her career and her life. It will be set in the 1970s, when Callas' health was in decline, causing her once-magnificent voice to lose its power. As she spends her last days in isolation in Paris , she attempts to find her voice once more.
Close What Other Creatives Are Working on 'Maria'? In addition to Jolie, Maria boasts an experienced international cast. It will also star Valeria Golino as Callas' sister Yakinthi Callas, and Haluk Bilginer as Aristotle Onassis, the Greek shipping magnate who was Callas' longtime lover. Kodi Smit-McPhee , Alba Rohrwacher , and Pierfrancesco Favino will also star.
Maria is the third in a loose trilogy of films about notable 20th-century women at critical points in their lives. It follows Jackie, which starred Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy in the wake of John F. Kennedy's assassination; and Spencer, in which Kristen Stewart played Princess Diana as she endures a difficult Christmas with the royal family in 1991.
Maria will premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, which begins today; no Netflix release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
