David Lowery Set to Direct Pop Musical ‘Mother Mary’ For A24

March 21, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

David Lowery’s upcoming “Peter Pan & Wendy” was probably a very nice paycheck for him, but now he’s getting into more serious stuff.

He’s signed on for “Mother Mary” with A24 producing. Anne Hathaway and Michaela Cole are set to star in the film which is being described as a musical.

The film will be an epic pop melodrama following a fictional musician (Hathaway) and her relationship with an iconic fashion designer (Coel).

It seems like Lowery is very savvy at juggling his arthouse passion projects (“A Ghost Story” “The Green Knight”) with high-priced Disney movies (“Pete’s Dragon,” “Pan and Wendy”), probably the latter to bankroll his next indie movie.

No worries here though, A24 are fully onboard after Lowery delivered a few critical hits for them. Hey, he’s got to make a living somehow. If ‘Pan’ allows Lowery to keep working and making movies like “A Ghost Story”, then I'm all for it.

Lowery is the filmmaker behind the well-reviewed “A Ghost Story,” “Ain’t Them Bodies A Saint,” “The Old Man and The Gun,” and “The Green Knight.”

For now, he has the aforementioned “Peter Pan & Wendy” actually skipping theaters and heading straight to Disney+ on April 28th. So Disney likely doesn’t have such high confidence in this one. Do you blame them? Have you seen the trailer? The CGI looks atrocious.
