Get ready to laugh and gasp, because Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley just crashed the red carpet at the premiere of their latest cinematic rollercoaster!
Our dynamic duo strutted their stuff at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, where they made their grand entrance at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada, on Thursday night (September 6). And guess who else showed up? Coralie Fargeat, the mastermind behind this thriller—she’s the brains behind the operation and probably has a top-secret lair somewhere.
So what’s the fuss about? In The Substance, Demi Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle—yes, you read that right, Sparkle, because subtlety is clearly overrated. She’s a once-famous TV fitness guru who’s now just a has-been dodging Harveys (and not the charming kind—this one is played by Dennis Quaid, and he’s about as charming as a soggy gym sock). When she’s kicked to the curb, Elisabeth decides to take a mysterious new drug called THE SUBSTANCE. Because, of course, the solution to being fired is always a shady drug.
Pop one of these bad boys, and Elisabeth gets to temporarily swap her wrinkles for the radiant glow of twenty-something Sue (played by Margaret Qualley). The catch? You’ve got to alternate between your new hot self and your old, saggy self every week. It’s like a body-swapping game show with really high stakes. What could possibly go wrong? Spoiler alert: everything.
Mark your calendars, The Substance hits theaters on September 20, and trust me, you don’t want to miss this drug-fueled, age-swapping escapade.
