“A good ending is the most important thing because that’s what people are leaving the theatre with. I guess films kind of should have an orgasm, they should climax and we always sort of pushed our films to have that extreme end.” – Darren Aronofsky

▮ Synopsis

In mid-October (2015), Darren Aronofsky pitched his next project by reading his entire screenplay to Lawrence over a bottle of wine in his apartment in New York and she signed up on the spot.

The movie will follow a couple whose 'relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence'. Lawrence would play one-half of the relationship with Javier Bardem playing one-half of the uninvited guests. Given the presence of Aronofsky, Lawrence, and Bardem though, it might be safe to assume that there's a lot more to this than is suggested by that cryptic logline.

It would be hilarious if this film is just a mild film about a domestic squabble. "No, my cousin should get the guest room and your brother can sleep on the couch."

she'd make it work :lol:

Nice new title. :D

And she could male anything work. ;)

So Bardem's character has some measure of fame in the picture, it would seem. This has me wondering whether Lawrence might actually one of the uninvited guests. Most have assumed she's part of the once tranquil couple (and maybe she is), but maybe not. Maybe she's some crazed fan or something??

Also, the IMDB has added these character types to the cast list:

Actress.
Fan
Fan #1 (why is 'Fan' not Fan #1?)
Autograph seeker
Paprazzi #2 (who's #1?)
Person in line
Looter 1 (does this indicate more than one, and why no # for this one?)
Good Samaritan
Soldier
Refugee
and simply, Son.

I really don't know, but it does seem to have some connection to celebrity. Maybe we're dealing with celebrity culture here? But where does the apocalyptic imagery and elements fit in?

*shrug*

Crazed fan stalking a celebrity? Interesting if true. But this is so secretive as motioned.

According to Erik Davis on Twitter, this is called Mother after all.

Paramount's Brad Grey Says the Studio Has Begun Its "Next Chapter" as He Previews 'Silence', 'Ghost in the Shell'

Quote:

The studio also offered up first looks at some of its 2017 titles,... The sizzle reel also noted that Darren Aronofsky's upcoming project with Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem has a title: Mother.

It looks like Javier has loose lips.

Background: This Spanish site not only correctly said the film was titled "Mother" way back in June but also that its release date was December 29, 2017. Presumably in Spain, which probably might be a bit different elsewhere. If a wide release, probably just before Christmas in the U.S. If not, then it could be months earlier or even later in January of 2018.

or it's all another elaborate ruse... :lol:
