Yeah, I like this other trailer, too - it does give a little more sense of the satirical angle of the movie, also the Hollywood "ins and outs", the crazy business side, and the twisted sexual side. Thanks. I believe these are trailers that are, as the first one stated, post-production trailers, and they're probably being used to pitch for whatever markets still remain for distribution (U.S. distribution is already in place). I'm getting quite excited now about "Maps" - the characters do look intriguing, and Mia's Agatha looks like a real piece-of-work, a part that I'm sure she'll shred. Knowing it's David Cronenberg also puts it on another whole level.

So "Maps to the Stars" is now officially part of the competition at Cannes for the Palm D'Or. Great news, especially for Cronenberg.
Here's some of the competition with clips - the "Maps" trailer they've got is really nice and clear now.

I'd be surprised if she did, she tends to like to keep her head down and avoid controversy - assuming she goes to Cannes - that "Crimson Peak" is done filming or she can take a break. If she's asked about it, she'll probably have something figured out to say on the matter, but maybe not. "Maps to the Stars" is getting a lot of notice - it looks really good. I've seen almost all of Cronenberg's films (that's a lot) and so I know he's probably going to go to some pretty outrageous places.

It's kind of overwhelming all these Mia films coming out in 2014 - Overwhelming in a GOOD way.
Ironically, Emma Stone made the latest cover of Vogue for that reason: "4 New Films!"

I'm looking forward to seeing Mia and Julianne Moore together again - quite different than "The Kids Are Alright" - although Julianne was kind of a ditz in "Kids" and she looks that way in "Maps", too - just way more extreme, and now SHE'S the blond. In "Maps" Mia appears to be a kid who's definitely NOT alright.

Some more pics of the cast just released - some nice ones of Agatha Weiss (Mia).

When Agatha Weiss returns to Los Angeles, she makes an instant connection with the first person she encounters: her limo driver, a would-be screenwriter who chauffeurs the far more successful, and who becomes increasingly entangled in her larger-than-life drama.
He worked most closely with Mia Wasikowska as Agatha, who comes to rely on Jerome as her sole friend in the city. I knew Mia was going to be wonderful in this, he says. Shes so lovely that it was horrible for me to watch Agatha be bullied by her entire family.

MTTS is showing up on a lot of the "Most Anticipated" lists.
http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/19659/1/what-to-wat ch-at-cannes
This one is new to me. At the top of the list:
What to watch at Cannes
From Cronenberg's Maps to the new Saint Laurent, here are the hotly tipped heavyweights and up-and-comers at Cannes
THE ESTABLISHED ACTS: MAPS TO THE STARS
Canadian director David Cronenberg has already participated in Cannes competition four times with Crash, Spider, A History of Violence and Cosmopolis without winning the Palme dOr
This time, hes coming back with a satire of the entertainment industry involving ghosts, Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore and burnt Mia Wasikowska. An intriguing, contemporary and possibly crushing plot that could charm Mrs President, aka Jane Campion, who will head up the jury.

Here's an article with new photos from "Maps to the Stars" (one is pretty graphic}, plus the cover of the french blu-ray. We probably won't see a U.S. theatrical release until October.

Mia's character poster is up in Paris.
The film is one of the top 3 favorites to win the Palm d'Or, according to the oddsmakers.
7/2 Winter Sleep (N.B.Ceylan)
5/1 Maps to the Stars (D.Cronenberg)
11/2 Leviathan (A.Zvyagintsev)
6/1 Timbuktu (A.Sissako)
9/1 Goodbye to Language (J-L.Godard) -

I hate that image of Mia that was selected for the poster, but it's pretty cool to see it on the street like that.
I really hope that Mia will be in awards contention herself, but the in-movie talent is too stacked.

Well the Agatha character is not going to be that physically attractive, she's disfigured with burns and she's demented (from what I understand), but it sounds like a really meaty part that Mia has probably once again crushed.
a penny for your thoughts -

Thought you'd enjoy this review that calls Mia out specifically in a very good way:
The Movie Jerk7.8 out of 10
VERDICT:A GLORIOUSLY F^CKED-UP MOVIE ABOUT THE F^CKED-UP MOVIE TINSELTOWN. MAPS TO THE STARS IS CRONENBERG'S FURIOUS, JET-BLACK MISSIVE TO THE MOVIE BUSINESS, REDEEMING THE DIRECTOR'S PREDILECTION FOR DARK, DELICIOUSLY TWISTED NARRATIVES, SUBVERTING THE HOLLYWOOD SATIRE WITH EDGY SELF-AWARENESS, RUNNING A FREAKSHOW THROUGH BILLY WILDER'S SUNSET BOULEVARD VIA DAVID LYNCHS MULHOLLAND DRIVE. IT'S NOT ALWAYS 100% SATISFYING, BUT WHEN IT WORKS, IT'S DAMN ENTHRALLING.
All are perfectly cast, including Robert Pattinsons morally dubious chauffeur-cum-wannabe-actor and Benjies malignant parents played by Olivia Williams and John Cusack, but the real standout is Wasikowska a cunning choice of casting, remarkably extending his excellent work in Park Chan-wooks Stoker. Her Agatha is the dark soul of Hollywood, initially well-meant yet all-too-quickly pulled into the maelstrom of moral corruption and depravity that lurks beneath the sparkling veneer of celebrity life.
