The real Hollywood portrayed in Maps to the Stars

David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, A Dangerous Method), directs Maps to the Stars, a film about a Hollywood family on the verge of implosion. It plays on the current celebrity-obsessed culture. The screen play was written by Bruce Wagner who wrote the book Dead Stars based on the Maps to the Stars storyline. The Weiss family have found fame through Dr. Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) and his role as a high-profile TV psychologist. Cristina Weiss (Olivia Williams) is Dr. Weiss's wife and also sister, having been separated at birth and then re-united. They are trying to get their son Benjie Weiss (Evan Bird) back on track in his child star career after a stint in rehab. Their daughter Agatha Weiss (Mia Wasikowska) is also battling out her demons when she takes on a job as Havanas (Jualinne Moore) personal assistant; a quickly fading Hollywood actress living in the shadow of her legendary movie-star mother. The film also stars Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon, and was released on the 26th of September 2014.
