Focus World isn’t releasing Maps to the Stars until early 2015, however it’s already on the festival circuit and the film’s star, Julianne Moore, earned the Best Actress award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Moore’s earning rave reviews for her performance as a has-been actress in the David Cronenberg thriller which also stars John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, Olivia Williams, and Sarah Gadon. And now Focus World is offering up this new trailer for those who aren’t catching the film at festivals to see what the buzz is all about.
The Plot:
In Maps to the Stars, Stafford Weiss (Cusack) is an L.A. psychotherapist and life coach who has made his fortune with self-help books promising happiness. His wife Cristina (Williams) is the overbearing manager of their 13-year-old son, Benjie (Bird), a TV star and recent drug rehab grad. Their estranged daughter, Agatha (Wasikowska), has just been released from a psychiatric hospital and befriends limo driver and aspiring actor Jerome (Pattinson). Among Stafford’s celebrity clients is Havana Segrand (Moore), a fading star who dreams of reprising her late mother Clarice’s (Gadon) starring role. Ambitions, ghosts, death, and all manner of vices bedevil the cast of characters.
