Anne Hathaway’s ‘Mother Mary’ Debuts New Trailer and FKA twigs–Written Single Ahead of April Release

A24 is using new music to frame David Lowery’s film as a pop event.

Overview

  • The film’s second trailer, released Wednesday, also unveiled “My Mouth Is Lonely For You,” a new track performed by Anne Hathaway and written by FKA twigs.
  • The movie opens in New York and Los Angeles on April 17 before expanding nationwide on April 24, with the companion album Mother Mary: Greatest Hits arriving April 17.
  • The A24 project is billed as a psychosexual pop drama from director David Lowery, pairing Hathaway with Michaela Coel in a story of a pop icon reconnecting with her former costume designer.
  • Original songs come from Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX, with additional music by FKA twigs, as the marketing leans on singles and a soundtrack presented as the star’s “greatest hits.”
  • The trailers highlight eerie, horror-like visuals even as the studio says it is not a ghost story, and early signals range from blogged test notes of an intimate, mostly single-location drama to mixed social reactions to the new song.
