Filming has begun for the biographical film “Maria” about the famous opera diva Maria Callas. The film is directed by Pablo Larrain and stars Angelina Jolie.
According to Variety, the first shots of Jolie in the role of an opera diva have been published. She perfectly transformed herself, showing the beauty and courage of Maria Callas.
Based on a true story, Maria will chronicle the tumultuous and tragic life of the opera diva, as relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris. The independent production has signed a SAG-AFTRA agreement, so filming is ready to begin and will take place in Paris, Budapest, Greece and Milan over an eight-week period.
By the way, the script for the film was written and completed before the Writers Guild strike by Steven Knight. And Angelina Jolie’s costumes were created based on the original clothes of Maria Callas.
