WHAT MAISIE KNEW
directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel
MAISIE TRAVELS WIDE
Featuring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgård and Steve Coogan,  WHAT MAISIE KNEW is based on a contemporary interpretation of the classic Henry James novel, and set in present day New York City. The story centers on Maisie, an unwitting six-year-old girl enmeshed in the bitter divorce of
