Mother Mary Trailer: Music, Drama and Tension in Anne Hathaway’s Latest Film

Published

on

A24 has unveiled the first full trailer for Mother Mary, the latest film from director and writer David Lowery. The footage sets an unsettling tone, hinting at a story that fuses pop stardom with personal conflict, and promises something beyond a conventional comeback narrative.

Anne Hathaway stars as a global pop icon preparing for a major career revival. In the trailer, she wears striking outfits, including a glittering bodysuit and a halo-inspired headdress. On the surface, she dazzles, but tension simmers beneath the glamour. She reconnects with an estranged friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. Their reunion is charged, revealing unresolved conflict, old betrayals and emotional friction on the eve of Hathaway’s high-stakes return. The atmosphere feels uneasy, with brief glimpses of surreal rituals and fragmentary conversations that leave much unexplained.

Music is central to the film. The trailer features original tracks produced by Charli XCX, FKA Twigs and Jack Antonoff, all performed by Hathaway herself. The mix of performance and story suggests Mother Mary is not your typical musical. Instead, it explores the friction between public image and private relationships, blending psychological tension with the spectacle of the pop world.

Lowery’s involvement adds another layer of intrigue. Known for visually bold and emotionally ambitious work, he brings a distinctive style that suggests the film will take risks both narratively and aesthetically. A24’s reputation for boundary-pushing projects further raises expectations. The trailer avoids giving everything away, teasing tension, key character dynamics and atmosphere rather than plot specifics.

Mother Mary is set for release in April 2026. The trailer offers a first look at emotional and professional conflicts, a moody visual style and the fusion of music and drama. For fans of Hathaway, Coel and the music collaborators, it hints at a film that is complex, compelling and not easily categorised. A UK audience can expect something bold, stylish and thought-provoking without being overblown.

Adele, the Grammy-winning British singer, is set to make her feature film acting debut in Tom Ford’s upcoming adaptation of Cry to Heaven.

The story of Cry to Heaven is set in 18th century Italy and centres on the intertwined lives of a Venetian nobleman and a castrato singer, exploring themes of artistic ambition, social constraint and identity. The cast includes multiple established actors alongside Adele, although her specific role has not yet been disclosed.

Filming is scheduled to begin in London and Rome in January 2026, with a planned release in late 2026. Ford intends to finance the production independently.

For Adele, this marks a significant shift from her musical career. Following a residency in Las Vegas that concluded in November 2024, she announced a break from recording and touring. For Tom Ford, the project comes after nearly a decade away from directing films; his previous features were 2009’s A Single Man and 2016’s Nocturnal Animals.

By combining a high-profile musical artist entering the film world and a director known for his strong visual style, the film carries high expectations. The material, rooted in opera and historical drama, offers Adele the opportunity to draw on her performance background in a new medium. Equally, it presents challenges as she takes on a period role with complex character dynamics. For Ford, the independent financing and ensemble cast suggest he is maintaining full creative control. The reception of both the film and Adele’s performance will be closely watched when it reaches audiences.
