XYZ Films and Variance Films have set a March 7, 2025 theatrical release for Seven Veils starring Oscar nominee Amanda Seyfried (Mank). The drama reunites Seyfried with writer/director Atom Egoyan. The pair previously worked together on 2009’s Chloe with Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and Max Thieriot.
In addition to Seyfried, the film stars Rebecca Liddiard, Douglas Smith, Mark O’Brien, Vinessa Antoine, Ambur Braid, and Michael Kupfer-Radecky. Seven Veils debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and screened at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.
“After years away, theater director Jeanine (Seyfried) re-enters the opera world to stage her former mentor’s most famous work. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel,” reads the official synopsis.
In 1996, Atom Egoyan directed the opera, Salome and has wanted to blend the world of opera and film for years. Egoyan was interested in finding out what the production of Salome would mean in our current culture. Discussing Seven Veils‘ origin, Egoyan explained, “Salome is a production I’ve done a number of times so when I knew that the Canadian Opera Company was remounting it, I thought this would be an ideal time to fuse the opera singers I knew they had booked with the script I had written.”
Egoyan added, “I wanted to explore how the themes of Salome could weave with the story of remounting this particular production. It’s not really an opera movie, it’s just using the world of the opera as a workplace like any workplace. We see the characters as they float in and out of scenes dealing with the preparation of the opera.”
Atom Egoyan, Niv Fichman, Simone Urdl, Kevin Krikst, and Fraser Ash serve as producers. Nate Bolotin, Maxime Cottray, Adrian Love, Noah Segal, John Sloss, Nick Spicer, and Aram Tertzakian executive produce.
