Charli XCX makes the leap into horror cinema as the lead in the new project by Takashi Miike, the legendary Japanese director of ‘Audition‘ and ‘Ichi the Killer‘.

Charli XCX is stepping into the world of horror as the lead in an upcoming project by legendary Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike, best known for cult classics like ‘Audition‘ and ‘Ichi the Killer‘. The British pop star will not only star in the film but also co-produce it, marking a major milestone in her evolving film career. While plot details remain under wraps, fans can expect Miike’s signature blend of violence and provocation to take centre stage once again.

The screenplay will be penned by Ross Evans, and the film adds to Charli’s expanding list of cinematic ventures. She’s also set to appear in ‘The Moment‘ by Aidan Zamiri, Julia Jackman’s fantasy drama ‘100 Nights of Hero‘, and Daniel Goldhaber’s horror remake ‘Faces of Death‘.

With over 100 films to his name, Miike is a defining figure in transgressive cinema. His latest film ‘Sham is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. This unexpected collaboration between a global pop icon and one of horror’s most radical auteurs promises a daring fusion of music, blood, and arthouse cinema, potentially one of the most talked-about releases of the year.
