Seven Veils is set to come out in theaters on March 7, 2025. Five companies—Rhombus Media, Ego Film Arts, Cinetic Media, IPR.VC, and Crave—worked together on the project. The film is set to have a wide release in the United States and around the world after principal photography wrapped up in Toronto in March 2023.
Amanda Seyfried works again with Atom Egoyan, who directed Chloe over a decade ago. Egoyan wrote Seven Veils as a way to look into the opera Salome and its themes of power, desire, and manipulation. This movie seems to be an attempt to combine opera with modern filmmaking, giving the old production a new look.
The plot of Seven Veils
In Seven Veils, Jeanine is a theater director who returns to the opera world after being away for years. She has to put on the opera Salome, which was written by her former mentor.
As Jeanine gets more involved with the production, she has to deal with painful memories from her past. These repressed traumas start to affect her personal and professional life, making her feel less stable.
The film opens in an opera house, where the real world and the world of acting or performance cross.
