You may have heard a few things about David Cronenberg's (EASTERN PROMISES, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE) latest picture when it was making some waves at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. In case you've been unacquainted, MAPS TO THE STARS follows those who make their way in Hollywood with money, fame and envy. It is a scathing look at celebrities with an all-star cast. With a US release coming in February, a brand new trailer and poster are here to create some sparks.
With BIRDMAN raking in some great praise regarding its actors and somewhat bleak look at what the Hollywood machine can do to a man, I imagine those who want a different look at the same idea will be eager to check out MAPS TO THE STARS. Cronenberg is a director of which I'll give any of his films an obligatory look and if our review from TIFF is any indication (check it out here), this cinematic entry fares much better than COSMOPOLIS.
MAPS TO THE STARS, starring Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowski, Robert Pattinson and John Cusack, will see a limited theatrical and On-Demand release on February 27.
