Cronenberg’s NSFW Maps To The Stars Trailer, What?


April 15, 2014 | Marina Galperina

Here’s the fucked up trailer to David Cronenberg’s new film Maps To The Stars about a fucked up Hollywood family. This one looks like the non-sci-fi kind of Cronenberg, in case you’re wondering, but there is possibly some sort of sci-fi mind-fuckery going on, or maybe someone with influence over the film’s narrative is batshit crazy. It’s not clear. It is clear, however, that Julianne Moore has backseat sex with Robert Pattinson.

Click to watch the red band trailer with French subtitles above. (If you want to see all the split-second group fucking scenes, you have to watch a 30 second ad for Miracle Whip or whatever first. Sorry.)

The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Stafford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benjie, 13, a child star. One of Stafford’s clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night… Adding to the toxic mix, Benjie has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from a sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania and befriended a limo driver Jerome who is also an aspiring actor.
