While we wait for that Jennifer’s Body sequel that seems to be taking shape, Amanda Seyfried returns to the screen in director Atom Egoyan’s Seven Veils this coming weekend.
Seven Veils will be released in select theaters nationwide on March 7, 2025.
Amanda Seyfried stars in the upcoming film alongside Rebecca Liddiard, Douglas Smith, Mark O’Brien, Vinessa Antoine, Ambur Braid, and Michael Kupfer-Radecky.
In Seven Veils, “After years away, theater director Jeanine (Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried) re-enters the opera world to stage her former mentor’s most famous work. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel.”
XYZ Films previews, “Renowned director Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter) reunites with Seyfried in this visually stunning, propulsive work, filmed on location during the staging of Egoyan’s acclaimed production of Salome. Egoyan directed the opera, Salome, in 1996, the first opera in what would be many to come over his career.”
“More recently, the director was interested in exploring what the production of Salome would mean in our current culture,” the press release details. “This interest led Egoyan to write the script for Seven Veils, about a remount of Salome that he filmed at the same time the opera was on stage, using the opera singers from Salome in the film.”
“Salome is a production I’ve done a number of times so when I knew that the Canadian Opera Company was remounting it, I thought this would be an ideal time to fuse the singers I knew they had booked with the script I had written,” says Egoyan. “I wanted to explore how the themes of Salome could weave with the story of remounting this particular production. It’s not really an opera movie, it’s just using the world of the opera as a workplace like any workplace. We see the characters as they float in and out of scenes dealing with the preparation of the opera.”
Watch the official trailer below and look for the film in theaters this Friday.
