   On 29 November 2003, at the Trieste Science Plus Fiction Festival in northern Italy, Argento announced that he hoped to begin shooting The Third Mother in August 2004 and that he was currently working on the script. Thematically it was "related to mysticism, alchemy, terrorism and Gnosticism. Because the Church said Gnosticism was heresy, many people were tortured, and that will be the starting point of this story. More than 20 years have passed since I left the Three Mothers behind, and it felt surprisingly good to go back and explore the whole story from a retrospective point of view." The film would be set in Rome and would begin in the Middle Ages with Mater Lachrymarum. Argento initially hoped to cast a Russian model as Mater Lachrymarum. (He later cast the Israeli actress Moran Atias.) Argento also said a Hollywood studio might finance the film.

   The Cannes Film Festival requested that The Third Mother be ready in time to be considered as a 2007 competition entry. However, the complete film was not shown at the festival. At 9:30 a.m. on 17 May 2007, Myriad premiered 20 minutes of footage from the film, consisting of eight long scenes, to a packed audience. Before the preview there was a title card and a disclaimer warning of uncensored violence. The eight scenes included: the complete opening up to the point where Asia opens the Mother of Tears urn, the arrival of several demons, Daria Nicolodi's "powder puff" scene, a lesbian death scene, Udo Kier's main scene, Asia running through the streets of Rome, Adam James's main scene, and the entrance of Mater Lachrymarum. According to the reporter Alan Jones, the audience's reaction was mixed: the quality of the acting was uneven and the script contained too much narration, but the cinematography was beautiful.
