Allocine: MTTS will Hit French Theaters in May 2014 ty @Pattinson_AW

Allocine Le Pacte has announced that "Maps to the Stars", the next feature film by David Cronenberg starring Robert Pattinson, John Cusack and Julianne Moore will hit our screens in May 2014.

As we announced in January a first editing of Maps To The Stars was ready and that the film had passed by the Committee of Film Classification in the United States, Le Pacte - the french distributor - just gave a release date for the next film by David Cronenberg, in May 2014.

No specific date has been given, but like his Cosmopolis in 2012, there is a good chance that the release will be made simultaneously in theaters and for its presentation at Cannes.

Led by Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore and John Cusack, Maps To The Stars central theme is Hollywood, and more exactly the obsession with celebrity.

David Cronenberg has been selected 4 times in Cannes in Official Competition: Crash in 1996 and Spider in 2002, A History of Violence in 2005 and Cosmopolis in 2012.

Note that The Rover by David Michôd with Robert Pattinson has no realease date yet too and could be in competition for the Palme d'Or.

Double dose of Pattinson for the 67th Cannes Film Festival?

"'Maps To The Stars" "Cronenberg is currently putting the Final Touches"

MetroNews Although Cronenberg has become better known for intense thrillers of late, he sees clear themes that persist to this day. (In his work)

“The changes are more in terms of genre, of category,” says Cronenberg, who is currently putting the final touches on his upcoming feature “Maps to the Stars,” starring Robert Pattinson.

“They all have certain things that relate — the body consciousness, the importance of the human body as the main fact of human existence and so on. This is my so-called philosophy, it’s my understanding of what it is to be a human being and that underlies all the films.”

And although it’s been over a decade since he’s made a horror or sci-fi film, he denies having put those genres behind him. Full interview at source.
