The spotlight burns brighter—and darker—this April.
Anne Hathaway headlines Mother Mary, an eerie pop psychological thriller arriving exclusively in Philippine cinemas on April 22, 2026, distributed by CreaZion Studios. Along with the release date announcement, the film’s official Philippine trailer and poster have also been unveiled, offering a striking first look at one of the year’s most anticipated releases.
Produced by A24, the studio behind some of the most daring films of the past decade, Mother Mary promises a haunting exploration of fame, fractured friendships, and emotional reckoning.
Fame, Friendship, and Fractures
Hathaway (Interstellar, The Devil Wears Prada) delivers a fearless transformation as Mother Mary, a global pop superstar preparing for a monumental comeback performance. But as rehearsals begin and the pressure mounts, the past refuses to stay buried.
Reentering her life is Sam Anselm, her estranged best friend and former costume designer, portrayed by Michaela Coel (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever). Their long-awaited reunion sparks unresolved tensions and painful memories, threatening to unravel the carefully curated persona Mother Mary has built.
At its core, the film asks a provocative question: How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice for fame and vanity?
A Visionary Creative Force
Mother Mary is written and directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story), whose signature poetic storytelling lends the film a dreamlike yet unsettling atmosphere. Through music and memory, Lowery crafts a powerful narrative about ambition, identity, and the emotional weight of formidable connections once lost.
Music pulses at the heart of the story. The film features original songs by Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff, and FKA Twigs, who also stars in the movie.
Two highly anticipated singles will debut ahead of the film’s release:
- “Burial,” performed by Anne Hathaway
- “My Mouth is Lonely For You,” performed by FKA Twigs
Both tracks will drop in March, while the seven-song digital soundtrack will be released in April via Hathaway’s music streaming platforms—blurring the line between cinematic fiction and pop reality.
A Standout Ensemble
Beyond Hathaway and Coel, Mother Mary boasts an impressive supporting cast, including:
- Hunter Schafer (Euphoria, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes)
- Kaia Gerber (Babylon, Shell)
- FKA Twigs
Together, they bring texture and intensity to a film that thrives on emotional complexity and artistic ambition.
CreaZion Studios Champions Human Stories
The Philippine release of Mother Mary marks the second A24 title that CreaZion Studios is bringing to local audiences this year. The company recently announced the June 3 release of BACKROOMS, reinforcing its commitment to delivering globally talked-about films to the region.
These acquisitions are part of CreaZion Studios’ #KwentoMoTo campaign, centered on making Human Stories and Human Experiences accessible to Filipino and Southeast Asian audiences.
“Whether you are a fan of elevated genres or you simply want to have a good time watching a movie, CreaZion Studios got you covered with an exciting lineup of film offerings that can be enjoyed on the best screen and great surround sound possible, in cinemas near you,” said RJ San Agustin, President & CEO of CreaZion Studios.
“By bringing in the most disruptive and talked-about films to the country and Southeast Asian (SEA) region, CreaZion Studios hopes to bridge human stories and experiences to this side of the world,” he added.
Building a Reputation for Bold Cinema
CreaZion Studios continues to strengthen its portfolio of acclaimed international releases. In recent years, the company introduced Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice and A24’s fantasy adventure The Legend of Ochi to domestic and SEA markets, as well as the award-winning body horror film The Substance in 2024.
With Mother Mary, the studio once again positions itself at the forefront of compelling, conversation-starting cinema.
