Angelina Jolie To Play Opera Singer Maria Callas In Pablo Larrain Biopic MARIA

Angelina Jolie Picture


Angelina Jolie has signed on to star in the upcoming biopic "Maria" which will be directed by Pablo Larrain ("Spencer", "Jackie") from a script by Steven Knight ("Peaky Blinders", "Spencer").

The film based on true accounts will tell the tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the world's greatest opera singer, relived and re-imagined during her final days in 1970s Paris.

The filmmaker's brother and creative partner Juan de Dios Larraín will produce for Fabula Pictures, alongside Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment Pictures, a Fremantle Company, and Jonas Dornbach for Komlizen Film.

Larraín said the following:
"Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream. To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift.".

Jolie added:
"I take very seriously the responsibility to Maria’s life and legacy. I will give all I can to meet the challenge. Pablo Larraín is a director I have long admired. To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria’s story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream.".

Angelina Jolie is currently in post-production on her new directorial project "Without Blood", the first under her new three-year deal with Fremantle.
