#NYFF Main Slate: David Cronenberg’s MAPS TO THE STARS http://t.co/TKXJZKK9yr pic.twitter.com/jzOLomGw3f

And the info from the Press Release:
Maps to the Stars (U.S. Premiere)
David Cronenberg, Canada/Germany, 2014, DCP, 111m
David Cronenberg takes Bruce Wagner’s script—a pitch-black Hollywood satire—chills it down, and gives it a near-tragic spin. The terrible loneliness of narcissism afflicts every character from the fading star Havana (Julianne Moore, who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes for her nervy performance) to the available-for-anything chauffeur (Robert Pattinson) to the entire Weiss family, played by John Cusack, Olivia Williams, Evan Bird, and Mia Wasikowska. The last two are brother and sister, damaged beyond repair and fated to repeat the perverse union of their parents. And yet, in their murderous rages, they have the purity of avenging angels, taking revenge on a culture that needs to be put out of its misery—or so it must seem to them. Cronenberg’s visual strategy physically isolates the characters from one another, so that their occasional violent connections pack a double whammy. An eOne Films release.
The festival runs from September 26 – October 12 & we will post more info as soon as it’s available 🙂
Noooooo why can’t it be a week earlier? I fly out of NY on the 23rd ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ It’s like something out there (probably Rob himself) does not want me to get to say hi & get a pic with him.
