Let's Dive into Charli XCX's Next Fright Night with Takashi Miike
Move over, movie buffs! Grammy-winning pop sensation Charli XCX, aka Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is set to spook us out in a chilling collaboration with Japanese horror maestro, Takashi Miike, renowned for bone-chilling classics like Audition.
Brace yourselves for this suspense-filled rollercoaster ride, as Charli XCX will not only grace the big screen but also wear the producer's hat, her second producing credit under Studio365 following her upcoming mockumentary-style film, The Moment, distributed by A24.
Alas, the cat's still got its mittens on this one. With the script being penned by Ross Evans, the brains behind How to Save a Marriage, and a project currently in development at Sony with Robert Pattinson on board as producer, the details of the film are shrouded in mystery for now.

So, the upcoming film with Miike isn't exactly unchartered territory for our multi-hyphenate artist. You may recall her feature film debut, Faces of Death, a reimagined version of the infamous 1978 horror film.
Before diving headfirst into the film industry, Charli XCX got a taste of the silver screen by lending her voice to animated films like Angry Birds and Ugly Dolls. But it looks like she's not stopping there. This jam-packed schedule boasts a series of intriguing projects, among which are:
- A role in I Want Your Sex, setting pulses racing alongside a star-studded cast.
- Starring in Sacrifice alongside Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Salma Hayek.
