Julianne Moore is preparing to star in Pedro Almodóvar's new film, The Room Next Door. The actress stars in 'Mary & George', a palace intrigue based on the true story of a woman who raised her son to be the lover of King James I of England.

Moore was the only American actress in an all-British cast. “I was especially interested in how someone like Mary, who had no autonomy or independence, who has no property or power, managed to exercise that power through the men she married and her sons,” she says.
