On October 9, director Pablo Larraín introduced two photos of Angelina Jolie in the movie Maria . In one photo, Jolie wears a coat with a white fur collar and a stylish 1950s-inspired hat. In the other photo, she wears her hair loose, wears a sweater, and wears large glasses.
In addition to the two photos published by the film crew, many photos of the filming set in Paris taken by paparazzi appeared on the media and social networks. In particular, Jolie constantly changes her style. In one scene, Jolie wore a brown tweed jacket and a pencil skirt. In other scenes, she wears a long black winter coat and headscarf, sunglasses or a black fur coat with a fedora.
The actor told DailyMail : “I take the film very seriously and try my best to meet the challenge this time. Director Pablo Larraín is someone I have admired for a long time. Having the opportunity to tell Maria ‘s story with him , with a script by Steven Knight is a dream”.
Based on true stories, Maria tells the tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the life of the world’s greatest opera singer during his final days in 1970s Paris.
The film was shot for eight weeks in Paris, Greece, Budapest and Milan. Besides Jolie, the film stars Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Valeria Golino.
Director Larraín told Deadline : “I’m incredibly excited to begin production on Maria , hoping to bring the remarkable life and career of Maria Callas to audiences around the world, thanks to Steven’s brilliant script.” Knight, the efforts of the entire cast and crew.”
According to Deadline , Jolie’s outfit in the film is based on the original outfit Callas wore in real life. The manufacturer consulted with animal rights groups, including PETA, about using vintage fur items from the archives of costume designer Massimo Cantini Parrini. The film crew decided not to use the new fur costumes.
