Charli XCX will be starring in a new A24 film based on her own original idea
Charli XCX will be starring in a new A24 film titled The Moment – find out more below.
According to an exclusive report from Variety, the film is based on the musician’s own original idea, though details are currently being kept under wraps. She will co-produce through her production company Studio365.
The Moment is being directed by Scottish filmmaker Aidan Zamiri and will mark his feature-length directorial debut. The film is being scored by A. G. Cook, who has been a longtime collaborator of Charli’s and is featured on her acclaimed album ‘Brat’.
The film has yet to announce its cast apart from Charli XCX, nor has it received a release date.
In December, it was announced that Charli XCX had been cast in The Gallerist alongside the likes of Jenna Ortega, Natalie Portman, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Sterling K. Brown, Zach Galifianakis, Daniel Brühl and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
With The Moment added to the mix, XCX now has eight screen projects on the way, including Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex and graphic novel adaptation 100 Nights Of Hero, which is led by Emma Corrin (Deadpool & Wolverine) and Maika Monroe (Longlegs).
Her culture-dominating sixth record ‘Brat’ was released in June and has been named as the Album of the Year by NME. “‘Brat’ as cultural sensation was a sight to behold, to be sure. But ‘Brat’ as an album – the record at the core of the rollout, the music beneath the marketing – is quite simply exceptional,” NME noted.
“As a songwriter and lyricist, Charli has spent much of her career oscillating between the poles of unfuckwithable attitude and naked vulnerability. ‘Brat’ moves effortlessly along the scale, giving us bulletproof bangers that remain wrenchingly human. This album is not only peak Charli, but a new bar set for modern pop.”
‘Brat’ summer looks set for round two this year. Charli has been confirmed as the first headliner for next year’s Parklife and the ‘360’ artist has also curated a day at London’s LIDO Festival, where she’ll deliver a bill-topping performance.
Additionally, she will play two outdoor shows in Belfast and Dublin, perform at Coachella 2025 and top the bill at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Porto. On top of that, she’s also announced a US arena tour for April and May.
