After initially planning a theatrical release in the fall, the Gloria Steinem biopic The Glorias, starring Oscar winners Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander, will be released on Prime Video September 30. Tony winner Julie Taymor (The Lion King) directs and co-writes the screenplay with two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (The Clean House).
Joining Moore and Vikander as Steinem in various stages of the political activist’s life are Lulu Wilson and Ryan Kiera Armstrong. The movie features a number of stage and film stars as Steinem’s contemporaries, including Tony winner Bette Midler as Bella Abzug, Janelle Monáe as Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Lorraine Toussaint as Flo Kennedy, Monica Sanchez as Dolores Huerta, and Kimberly Guerrero as Wilma Mankiller.
Deadline reports the film will be available to watch exclusively in the U.S. and Canada on the streaming service, with The Glorias also available as a one-time purchase through video on demand platforms.
The film, inspired by Steinem’s memoir My Life on the Road, premiered earlier this year at Sundance and was picked up by Roadside Attractions and LD Entertainment.
This isn’t the first time Steinem’s life has been explored in art. The stage play Gloria: A Life by Emily Mann debuted Off-Broadway in 2018, starring Christine Lahti as the feminist leader, before regional productions in New Jersey and Massachusetts took the show on the road. [Source]
Oscar winner Timothy Hutton has joined Julie Taymor’s Gloria Steinem feature The Glorias: A Life on the Road. He will play the role of Leo Steinem, Gloria’s father. Julianne Moore plays Steinem, while Alicia Vikander will play the feminist icon at ages 20-40.
The movie, based on Steinem’s memoir, follows her journey to becoming a crusader for equal rights and her groundbreaking work as a journalist and campaigner. Bette Midler also stars as activist, lawyer and politician Bella Abzug, who along with other feminists such as Steinem, Shirley Chisholm and Betty Friedan founded the National Women’s Political Caucus. She went on to become a U.S. Representative. Janelle Monae stars as Dorothy Pitman Hughes.
Hutton can currently be seen in Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, a re-imagining of Shirley Jackson’s classic 1959 novel. He received an Emmy nomination for his role on John Ridley’s critically praised ABC series American Crime, and also currently stars in ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder opposite Viola Davis. Additionally, Hutton can be seen in the Amazon series Jack Ryan, opposite John Krasinski, as well as the Plan B feature Beautiful Boy with Steve Carell.
Hutton also starred in last year’s Ridley Scott feature All the Money in the World. He is repped by WME, Untitled Entertainment and Jackoway Tyerman.
