Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore) is an actress struggling with her insecurities and desperate to reprise her late mother Clarice's star role in the remake of the latter's 60s film. Constantly haunted by her mother's image and feeling like a less attractive version of her, she seeks comfort from her psychotherapist Dr Stafford Weiss (John Cusack). Weiss is struggling in his own life, with his wife managing his child star son's comeback acting career after a stint in rehab - and he's only 13-years-old. His other child, daughter Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), has been discharged from a mental hospital unbeknownst to them, and lands a job as a PA for none other than Havana. Stafford starts to become suspicious when Havana talks of her unnamed PA having a scarred face from a fire and warns his wife and son that their daughter may have returned. Meanwhile, Agatha becomes close to a limo driver named Jerome who has his own Hollywood dreams.
'Maps To The Stars' is a dramatic look at the dangers and brutalities of life in Hollywood directed by David Cronenberg ('Cosmopolis', 'A Dangerous Method', 'Eastern Promises') and written by Bruce Wagner ('A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors', 'I'm Losing You'). The movie won an award at Cannes Film Festival where it was also nominated for the Palme d'Or prize. It also won the ICS Cannes Award at the International Cinephile Society Awards. It is scheduled for release on September 26th 2014.
