Crafting a New Pop Diva: How Anne Hathaway Becomes Mother Mary
Variety reveals how director David Lowery and a team of artisans—choreographer Dani Vitale, DP Rina Yang, and costume designer Bina Daigeler—built Anne Hathaway’s fictional pop star Mother Mary, from months of artist development and hours of rehearsal to elaborate on-stage costumes and halo-inspired visuals, drawing inspiration from pop icons like Gaga and Swift while filming a largely practical, arena-like concert experience with minimal visual effects.
