[Edaily Starin, Reporter Choi Hee-jae ] Actress Anne Hathaway transforms into a pop star who hides anxiety and vulnerability behind her glamorous stage persona

Distributors TEO and Waterhole Company announced on the 13th, “Anne Hathaway takes on the role of ‘Mother Mary,’ a global pop icon who has taken the world by storm, embarking on the boldest and most intense transformation of her career.”

Expectations are high for Anne Hathaway’s latest transformation, as she has captivated audiences with a fresh face in every project—from *The Princess Diaries* to *The Devil Wears Prada*, *Les Misérables*, and *Interstellar*—crossing genres and characters.

“Mother Mary” is a pop music thriller in which the pop icon “Mother Mary” (Anne Hathaway)—on the verge of a highly anticipated comeback—seeks out her long-lost friend and designer “Sam” (Michaela Coel) in search of the one dress that will complete her look, leading to an unbelievable day.

The newly released character stills capture the contrasting facets of “Mother Mary,” the pop star who has captivated the world, drawing significant attention. In a still where she stares straight ahead with an intense gaze, the anxiety and vulnerability hidden behind her glamorous stage persona are vividly conveyed.

In another still, where she holds a microphone and exudes a powerful presence, viewers can witness the essence of a global pop icon with a unique aura. Attention is focused on Anne Hathaway’s acting transformation as she portrays a character that shifts between dazzling visuals and intimate emotions.

In particular, in this film, Anne Hathaway is set to showcase a significantly expanded acting range by not only delivering an overwhelming stage performance but also delicately portraying the complex inner world of a character gripped by panic and burnout.

“Mother Mary” is set to hit theaters nationwide this coming November.
