Trailers for David Cronenberg's 'Maps to the Stars' and Tommy Lee Jones' 'The Homesman' (feat. Meryl Streep)!

A trailer has landed for David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars starring Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, Olivia Williams, and Sarah Gadon. It looks very promising, especially on the performance front. Maps seems inevitable for a Cannes premiere, so will Canada have two major directors in competition for the Palme, assuming that Denys Arcand will be heading there as well with The Reign of Beauty?




Meryl Streep in The Homesman


Update:, it's Trailer Day, apparently!

A trailer also dropped for Tommy Lee Jones's The Homesman, which stars Jones alongside Hilary Swank and Meryl Streep. Streep reportedly has a very small role according to those who have read the book by Glendon Swarthout. Streep's daughter Grace Gummer also appears in the film. The real star of The Homesman, though, looks to be the cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto. With a Cannes premiere likely and a TIFF and/or Telluride North American premiere possible (folks should note that the IMDb TIFF release date of September 16 is incorrect since the festival runs Sept. 4-14), we might be looking at a serious contender! Fingers crossed for the festival.
