Referred to as “the Bible of opera” by Leonard Bernstein, the Greek-American Callas is perhaps the most famous opera singer of the 20th century.
Pablo Larraín has a type. After bringing to life Mrs. Kennedy’s response to JFK’s assassination in 2016’s Jackie and dressing Kristen Stewart in vintage Chanel as Diana, Princess of Wales for 2021’s Spencer, the Chilean auteur has tapped Angelina Jolie to play “La Divina,” Maria Callas, in a forthcoming biopic.
As is Larraín’s wont, the film, titled Maria, will home in on a specific period in Callas’s life: her final days in Paris in the 1970s, before her death of a heart attack at the age of 53. Steven Knight—who wrote the screenplay for *Spencer—*penned the script prior to the Writers Guild strike, and as the film is an independent production with an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA, filming can now begin over eight weeks in Paris, Greece, Budapest, and Milan.
