Charli XCX to star in and produce Takashi Miike's next movie
Charli XCX is set to star in and produce director Takashi Miike's next film. The 32-year-old popstar will lead the filmmaker's next movie both in front and behind the camera through her production company Studio365, Variety reports. Ross Evans - who has written 'How to Save a Marriage' for Sony - is due to pen the screenplay. While no plot details or other cast members have so far been revealed about the 64-year-old director's upcoming project, the outlet pointed out Miike is best known for depicting levels of extreme violence in his work, such as 1999's 'Audition' and 2001's 'Ichi the Killer'. This movie from the prolific Japanese horror filmmaker is the latest Hollywood project for Charli, who has made something of a transition from music to the silver screen. The 'Brat' hitmaker is currently signed on to star in three movies - '100 Nights of Hero', 'I Want Your Sex' and 'The Moment'. '100 Nights of Hero' - which will star Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Maika Monroe, Felicity Jones and Richard E. Grant - is an adaptation of author Isabel Greenberg's 2016 feminist story of the same name. The picture - which is to be directed by Julia Jackman - centres on Jerome, a neglectful husband who makes a high-stakes bet with his friend Manfred (Galitzine): if Manfred can seduce Jerome's wife, Cherry (Monroe), within 100 nights, he gets to keep Jerome's castle. Unbeknownst to Jerome, however, Cherry is already in love - with her maid, Hero, as portrayed by Corrin. As for 'I Want Your Sex', Charli will star alongside Olivia Wilde in the erotic thriller from director Gregg Araki. The flick will also star Cooper Hoffman, while Araki and Karley Sciortino co-write the screenplay. The synopsis for the movie reads: "When fresh-faced Elliot (Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon and provocateur Erika Tracy (Wilde), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. "But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder." Meanwhile, the 'Apple' singer is also reportedly set to star in and produce 'The Moment' through Studio365 in collaboration with A24. While plot details are currently unknown, Variety claimed Charli's longtime collaborator A.G. Cook - who produced her acclaimed album 'Brat' - will compose the score for the movie. Aidan Zamiri is set to make his directorial debut in 'The Moment' and will also write the screenplay alongside Bertie Brandes. Charli had also seemingly been eyed for the role of Jadis the White Witch in Greta Gerwig's upcoming 'The Chronicles of Narnia' movie for Netflix, though 'Sex Education' star Emma Mackey has now been offered the part, The Hollywood Reporter has said.

Charli XCX to produce, star in legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike's next
Charli XCX is stepping into the world of extreme cinema. The pop icon will star in and produce the next feature from legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike, best known for cult horror classics like Audition and Ichi the Killer. The untitled project marks the second film under Charli's Studio365 production banner, following her upcoming A24 collaboration The Moment. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, Miike's reputation for boundary-pushing violence and genre-blending horror suggests this will be no ordinary venture. The script is penned by Ross Evans, currently developing How to Save a Marriage for Sony with Robert Pattinson attached as producer. Charli's leap into film comes on the heels of her wildly successful sixth studio album Brat, which dominated charts, earned her three Grammys, and solidified her place as a pop innovator. Now, she's channeling that momentum into a string of high-profile acting and producing roles. Her growing film slate includes 100 Nights of Hero, Erupcja, Faces of Death, I Want Your Sex, Sacrifice, and The Gallerist; working alongside talents like Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, Olivia Wilde, and Nicholas Galitzine. Miike, a master of shock and style, has directed over 100 films across genres, and his body of work has earned him cult status worldwide. His latest feature, Sham, will premiere at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.

Zoë Kravitz in Talks to Direct Movie "How To Save A Marriage"
Yara Sameh Following her directorial debut on "Blink Twice", Zoë Kravitz looks to have found her next gig. Kravitz is in talks to direct "How to Save a Marriage" for Sony Pictures. Ross Evans penned the script, and Robert Pattinson is producing with partner Brighton McCloskey via their Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg via Entertainment 360. Plot details are being kept under wraps, and studio sources say the project is still in early development. Evans will also exec produce. As of now, Pattinson, who starred with Kravitz in 2022's "The Batman", is only producing the pic. Sony is high on the project and was aggressive in pursuing it when it hit the market last year. The deal marked a huge sale to a major studio for Evans and at the time showed studios' interest in high-profile packages following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While plot details are unknown, sources say Marriage has edgy undertones similar to "Blink Twice" that made that film work, and helped inform the execs' decision to tap Kravitz as director. While still busy on the acting front, she showcased her helming talent with the thriller, released in August 2024 and starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum. The Amazon MGM Studios film earned strong reviews and put Kravitz on the map as a director. On the acting front, Kravitz can be seen next opposite Austin Butler in the Darren Aronofsky thriller "Caught Stealing", which bows this fall. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
