Maps to the Stars
Fresh from winning her first ever Academy Award last weekend for Still Alice, legendary Julianne Moore is set to star in the upcoming satirical drama film, Maps to the Stars. The projected directed by David Cronenberg, was originally premiered nearly a year ago at the Cannes Film Festival and even saw an official soundtrack released to retail last September. The film centers on a Hollywood family, whose fame and fortune comes from child star Benjie Weiss. While the others within the immediate collective have jealousy for each other, the haunting ghost story sheds light on the corrupt world of what a family will do it all cost to become Los Angeles stars. This is one our toss up films out this weekend, which could’ve seen a better rollout if it simultaneously hit video-on-demand.
