A24’s latest look at David Lowery’s upcoming film Mother Mary gives us more of an idea of what to expect when you blend Anne Hathaway and FKA twigs into a pop star dream.
In the trailer above, you can hear Hathaway’s vocals on the film’s second single, “My Mouth Is Lonely For You,” written by the iconic English singer-songwriter; the first track “Burial” was unveiled in March. It’s a bit of a moment for pop star-related A24 films right now, with the Mother Mary soundtrack not only including tracks written by FKA twigs but also Charli xcx and Jack Antonoff. The Mother Mary: Greatest Hits album arrives Apr. 17, just before the film releases, and I’ll personally be blasting it loud enough to either help or very much hinder the marketing team’s work.
Of course, the visuals mean everything here too, as the trailer shows The Devil Wears Prada 2 headliner as eponymous pop star Mother Mary, who reconnects with her best friend, costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), before returning to the stage after a hiatus. Hathaway and Coel lead a formidable cast including Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Sian Clifford, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Isaura Barbé-Brown, and Alba Baptista.
Mother Mary hits cinemas April 24.
