BEST PICTURE: THE SUBSTANCE (R)

  OPENS FEBRUARY 21ST

 
Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong? Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Achievement in Directing, Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Original Screenplay.
