Although Angelina Jolie (Original Sin and The Tourist) has a filmography full of hits, she is expected to give the performance of her life in “Maria“, which could earn her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
The biopic follows the life of Maria Callas, the world’s greatest opera singer, during her final days in 1970s Paris, and will address a period in her life when she lost her voice and attempted to regain it.
Pablo Larraín directed the drama, marking the end of his trilogy of biographies of influential women. The screenplay was written by Steven Knight, the creator of the series “Peaky Blinders” with Cillian Murphy.
When is Maria coming to Netflix?
Netflix acquired the rights to Maria, the biopic that premiered globally at the Venice Film Festival on August 29. The film will make its debut on streaming in the United States, though the exact date has not yet been confirmed.
The biographical title will only be available for streaming to those with a subscription, so if you want to watch this masterpiece, you’ll need to sign up for a plan with the service.
Kodi Smit-McPhee (as Mandrax), Alba Rohrwacher (as Bruna Lupoli), Pierfrancesco Favino (as Ferruccio Mezzadri) and Valeria Golino (as Yakinthi Callas) are some of the major stars who will join the lead actress.
The period drama will feature an extensive musical score and a notable soundtrack. Angelina Jolie has been preparing for six months to deliver one of the best performances of her career to date.
