“When the world blows up, I hope I go down dancing,” says Julianne Moore in the first trailer for “Gloria Bell.” An English-language remake of 2013’s “Gloria,” the comedy sees Moore taking on the title role. Divorced with two adult children, Gloria spends her days at a conventional office job, but it’s the night she lives for. Gloria loves hitting the dance floor at nightclubs in LA. During one such night out she meets Arnold (John Turturro), who is also divorced with grown kids.
The spot sees Gloria and Arnold falling for each other — and even reading poetry together. But it’s not all smooth sailing. Trying to integrate Arnold into her family’s life proves more difficult than Gloria realized, and her kids are concerned about what kind of man their mother is dating.
Sebastián Lelio — who scored an Oscar this year in the foreign-language category for “A Fantastic Woman” — directed the original “Gloria” and stepped behind the camera once again for “Gloria Bell.” The pic made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September to strong reviews.
Moore won an Oscar for “Still Alice.” “Bel Canto” and “Wonderstruck” are among her recent projects. She’ll play another Gloria in Julie Taymor’s next film, Gloria Steinem biopic “The Glorias: A Life on the Road.”
“Gloria Bell” lands in theaters March 8, 2019.
