A24’s latest glimpse of David Lowery’s upcoming film Mother Mary offers a better sense of the pop star fusion of Anne Hathaway and FKA twigs.
The trailer above features Hathaway’s vocals on the film’s second single, “My Mouth Is Lonely For You,” crafted by the famed English singer-songwriter; the first track “Burial” debuted in March. Pop star films at A24 are having a moment, with the Mother Mary soundtrack featuring works by FKA twigs, Charli xcx, and Jack Antonoff. The Mother Mary: Greatest Hits album launches Apr. 17, just ahead of the movie’s release, and I plan to play it loud, impacting the marketing team’s efforts.
The trailer also emphasizes its visuals, showcasing The Devil Wears Prada 2 star as the titular pop sensation Mother Mary, who reunites with her best friend, costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), before making a stage comeback. Hathaway and Coel lead an impressive cast including Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Sian Clifford, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Isaura Barbé-Brown, and Alba Baptista.
Mother Mary premieres in theaters on April 24.
