Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming film, Mother, stars Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. And beyond that, we haven’t gotten many concrete details about the project. Until now, that is, because yesterday the director celebrated Mother’s Day with a somewhat unsettling new poster for the film:
HAPPY mother! DAY #firstlook #mothermovie by the great @JamesJeanArt #jenniferlawrence #javierbardem @ParamountPics pic.twitter.com/3IZZITpuY4

Aside from Lawrence and Bardem, Mother will include Ed Harris, Kristen Wiig, and Michelle Pfeiffer who, thankfully, might be having a bit of career resurgence in 2017. Aronofsky has said that the film will be a hard horror story about an unwanted houseguest, which seems pretty clear now given this poster. The juxtaposition of the soft imagery and the exposed heart in Lawrence’s hands is pretty awesome.
The movie will open October 13th, so expect what will undoubtedly be an awesome teaser and/or trailer in the months before then.
