When is the Seven Veils release date?
Seven Veils is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 7, 2025. In addition to Seyfried, the film also stars Douglas Smith, Rebecca Liddiard, Vinessa Antoine, Mark O’Brien, Maia Jae Bastidas, Lanette Ware, Lynne Griffin, Ryan McDonald, Maya Misaljevic, Tara Nicodemo, Joey Klein, and more.
The film is written and directed by Atom Egoyan, who previously worked with Seyfried on the 2009 erotic thriller Chloe. He also originally directed the production of Salome in 1996, which served as his first opera. The movie is produced by Egoyan, Niv Fichman, Simone Urdl, Kevin Krikst, and Fraser Ash, with Nate Bolotin, Maxime Cottray, Adrian Love, Noah Segal, John Sloss, Nick Spicer, and Aram Tertzakian executive producing.
“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 said in a press release. “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.”
