It’s been almost a decade since Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain both starred in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The two Oscar winners will star in Mother’s Instinct, and the first trailer for this film is as tense as it gets.
The official synopsis describes Mothers’ Instinct as an unnerving psychological thriller about two best friends and neighbors, Alice (Chastain) and Céline (Hathaway). Their perfect lives in ‘60s suburbia are shattered by a tragic accident involving one of their children, which ends up revealing the darker side of maternal love.
Mothers’ Instinct marks the directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, and it’s based on Barbara Abel’s novel from 2012. This book already produced the Belgian adaptation Duelles, directed by by Olivier Masset-Depasse. Sarah Conradt wrote the script for the English-language version.
In addition to the leading duo, this film will also star Josh Charles, Anders Danielsen Lie, Baylen D. Bielitz, and Eamon Patrick O’Connell. Hathaway and Chastain have also been credited as producers, alongside Chastain’s Freckle Films partner Kelly Carmichael.
Mother’s Instinct still doesn’t have an official release date, but it’s expected to hit the theaters later this year. Neon will release it in the US, while StudioCanal will handle the distribution rights in the UK.
