Amanda Seyfried is Haunted by Opera in 'Seven Veils' Official Trailer

"I've been asked to make this personal, so I am." XYZ Films has revealed an official trailer for Seven Veils, the latest feature from Egyptian-Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan (he made Guest of Honour before this). The film originally premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival a few years back but is only now getting a proper theatrical release - starting in March 2025 in a few months. An earnest theater director has the task of remounting her former mentor's most famous work, the opera Salome. Some disturbing memories from her past will allow her repressed trauma to color the present. Atom Egoyan directed the opera, Salome, in 1996, the first opera in what would be many to come over his career. Most recently, the acclaimed filmmaker was interested in exploring what the production of Salome would mean in our current culture. That led him 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. Amanda Seyfried stars as Jeanine, along with Rebecca Liddiard, Douglas Smith, Mark O'Brien, Vinessa Antoine, Ambur Braid, and Michael Kupfer-Radecky. This looks quite compelling - mostly to see Seyfried take on this complex, dynamic role. // Continue Reading ›
