New Trailer and Poster for David Cronenberg's MAP TO THE STARS

Say what you will about the films of David Cronenberg, but the man has a unique vision and the talent necessary to translate that vision to the big screen. The man behind The Fly, Videodrome, Eastern Promises, and more has a new film slated for release this year called Maps to the Stars, and it looks like a searing critique of Hollywood. Cronenberg isn't afraid to pull any punches, and it looks like this may be one of his most aggressive, interesting features in years. I'm getting a strong All About Eve vibe from this trailer, and that final scream from Julianne Moore is chilling.

Check out the official synopsis, and then watch the new trailer below.

Meet the Weiss family, who are making their way in Hollywood rife with money, fame, envy, and relentless hauntings. Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) is a famed TV self-help therapist with an A-list celebrity clientele. Meanwhile, Cristina Weiss (Olivia Williams) has her work cut out managing the career of their disaffected child-star son, Benjie (Evan Bird), a fresh graduate of rehab at age 13.
Yet unbeknownst to them, another member of the Weiss family has arrived in town – mysteriously scarred and tormented Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), just released from a psych ward and ready to start again. She soon works her way into a friendship with a limo driver (Robert Pattinson) and becomes personal assistant to unraveling actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), who is beset by the ghost of her legendary mother, Clarice (Sarah Gadon). But Agatha is on a quest for redemption – and even in this realm of the artificial, and the unearthly, she’s determined to find it, no matter what it takes.
