Mikey Madison and Kirsten Dunst Dive Into the Dark Waters of REPTILLIA About a "Seductive Mermaid" — GeekTyrant
Mikey Madison has found her next film project after her Oscar-winning turn in Anora , and she's plunging headfirst into some wild territory. Madison is set to star alongside Kirsten Dunst in Reptilia , the next feature from filmmaker Alejandro Landes Echavarría ( Monos ). Reptilia follows a dental hygienist who becomes entangled with a seductive mermaid and spirals into the 'dark and wet underworld' of Florida's shadowy, swampy exotic animal trade. Mermaids, molars, and morally murky waters. This sounds like it'll be a wild and unhinged movie, and production kicks off this fall with a lineup Reptilia marks another major move for Madison. She swept awards season with Anora , winning five Oscars including Best Actress, along with a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award. She also snagged nominations from the Golden Globes, SAG, and Critics Choice. Fans will also recognize her from Scream 5 , FX's Better Things , and her scene-stealing performance in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Then there's Dunst, another acting heavyweight with a history of haunting, offbeat performances. With Madison's momentum and Dunst's gravitas, Reptilia could be a dark fantasy worth checking out.

Mikey Madison and Kirsten Dunst Join Mermaid Thriller Reptilia
Last month, we learned Mikey Madison, fresh off her Best Actress Oscar win for Anora, declined to join the cast of Star Wars: Starfighter. Now, we know what her next big role is, and it's an interesting one: Reptilia, a movie about mermaids. Per the Hollywood Reporter, this is a 'unique thriller' wherein a dental hygienist winds up 'seduced by a mysterious mermaid into the dark and wet underworld of Florida's exotic animal trade.' Madison's costar is Kirsten Dunst, recently of Civil War and the upcoming Roofman, and according to THR's Borys Kit, she'll be the one doing the seducing. The film, which begins production in the fall, comes courtesy of director Alejandro Landes Echavarría, director of 2019's war thriller Monos, working off a script he cowrote with Duke Merriman. Not counting the recent Little Mermaid remake, it's been a while since we've had a major movie about the undersea people. But we're in an era where classic monsters like vampires and mummies are coming back to the silver screen (or Netflix), so Reptilia is coming in at a good time. Can't wait to see more about it, and what a mermaid's doing over in Florida, in the coming months
