This is the latest thought-provoking film by Todd Haynes, the renowned director behind "Carol," "Safe," and "Far from Heaven." And it delves into the delicate boundary between fixation and infatuation.

Check out the official full-length trailer for the Netflix drama "May December," starring Oscar-winners Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.

In the film, Portman portrays Elizabeth Berry, a well-known Hollywood actress who is intensely preparing to take on a challenging role: that of a prominent tabloid figure. Julianne Moore plays Gracie, the real-life tabloid figure in question, a grade school teacher who was arrested and later married one of her students, portrayed here by Charles Melton, from CW's "Riverdale."

"May December" is loosely inspired by the real-life tabloid scandal surrounding disgraced school teacher Mary Kay Letourneau who had a controversial relationship with one of her students, ultimately leading to their marriage and the start of a family. The film takes artistic liberties and tells the story through the perspective of an actress (Portman) researching their lives for a film about the scandal. The movie seemingly delves into themes of obsession, infatuation, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction.

"May December" is set to have a limited theatrical release in select theaters in November before making its Netflix premiere on December 1st. Watch the full trailer, above.
