Angelina Jolie as the legendary Maria Callas

49-year-old Angelina Jolie attracted the attention of the whole world, appearing in the first trailer of her new film "Maria", where she embodied the image of the opera legend Maria Callas. The premiere of this long-awaited film will take place in cinemas already in November, and in December it will be available on the Netflix platform.

The challenge that changed everything: Jolie's preparation for the role

At a press conference in Venice, Jolie admitted that this project became a real challenge for her. "I was very worried, the preparation lasted almost seven months, " the actress shared.

"I hope that most people, no matter how they perceive the film, will discover something new, let themselves experience it and maybe try to sing along. If I could do that..."

Family and team support: the key to success

During the first singing rehearsals, Jolie was very nervous, but her sons helped her calm down by closing the door so that no one would disturb her. Director Pablo Larraín also supported the actress, starting the shooting process in a small room and gradually moving to large-scale scenes.

"It gave me time to grow in this role. I was scared to live up to Callas' level, " Jolie admitted.

From personal injuries to new opportunities

The actress also shared that she used to love to sing, but quit because of criticism from her ex-husband. However, preparing for the role of Maria Callas helped her rediscover herself. "Seven months of opera singing lessons, wonderful teachers, Italian language courses — it was an incredible journey, " she said at the Telluride Film Festival.

Movie premiere: what to expect

The film about Maria Callas promises to be emotional and exciting, revealing not only the musical talent, but also the personal experiences of the singer. The premiere in US theaters is scheduled for November 27, and the film will be available on Netflix on December 11. This project is already attracting great interest and promises to become a real hit.
