Exclusive: Cate Blanchett has horns and uterine pain in starry 'Documentary Now!' trailer
Have you ever wanted to watch Cate Blanchett splatter people with body paint and garden hoses?
If the answer to that very specific dream is "yes," then IFC's "Documentary Now!" has just what you're looking for. In the new season of the mock docuseries, whose first trailer is premiering on usatoday.com, the two-time Oscar winner plays eccentric performance artist Isabella Barta, in a spot-on parody of 2012 documentary "Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present."
The episode – titled "Waiting for the Artist" – follows Isabella as she prepares for a major career retrospective and reflects on her impassioned relationship with another art-world provocateur, Dimo (Fred Armisen). Cue the shots of Blanchett complaining about her uterus in a thick Eastern European accent and Armisen offering sage art advice (eat more cookies).
Blanchett is one of the many famous faces lined up for the third season of "Documentary Now!", which returns Feb. 20 (11 EST/PST). Michael Keaton, John Mulaney, Taran Killam, Owen Wilson, Natasha Lyonne, and Michael C. Hall also star in the new batch of six episodes, which spoof docs including "Wild, Wild Country" and "Original Cast Album: Company."
The show was co-created by Armisen, Rhys Thomas, Seth Meyers and Bill Hader, who does not appear this season due to scheduling conflicts with HBO's "Barry."
