No, the point of this film is to introduce new things to the world. Like, no sequels, no preludes, no number two [ou] number three. So I’ll still be happy to bring something new to the world soon.

On The Substance
In the film directed by Coralie Fargeat, Demi Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a former celebrity past her prime who is suddenly fired from her television show by the repulsive studio boss, 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 stunning Sue, a young woman in her early twenties (Margaret Qualley).

The only rule? The time needs to be divided: exactly a week in one body, then a week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?
