The cast also includes Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers), Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Emmy nominee Zach Galifianakis (Only Murders in the Building), Golden Globe nominee Daniel Brühl (The Franchis and Oscar and Tony winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (Wednesday).
Written by Yan (Birds of Prey) and James Pedersen (High Heat), the film follows a desperate gallerist who conspires to sell a dead body at Art Basel Miami. It’s in pre-production now and is set to shoot at the end of this year.
Charli XCX released her sixth studio album Brat in June which landed at No 1 on the UK Official Album Chart in October. Brat has well and truly made its mark on the cultural zeitgeist this year; the audacious campaign has seen Charli cause roadblocks around the world with her pop-up ‘PARTYGIRL’ DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and surprise collaborations with Billie Eilish, Lorde, Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, and Rachel Sennott.
The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024 while Guess featuring Billie Eilish debuted at No 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart, making Charli the first British artist top the charts this year. In October, Charli followed it up with Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat – a brand-new version of the critically acclaimed album featuring reimagined takes and innovative reworks of tracks from Brat featuring artists such as Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, The 1975, Shygirl, Ariana Grande, Caroline Polachek and more.
Charli has also been working on multiple film & TV projects following the success of her Barbie soundtrack contribution Speed Drive last year. She is co-executive producing the score for the A24 film Mother Mary with Jack Antonoff and also producing original music for Benito Skinner’s series Overcompensating on Prime Video. In addition, Charli will star in the Daniel Goldhaber remake of 1978 cult horror film Faces of Death and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller I Want Your Sex.
Her lasting impact was cemented last year when Charli was honoured with the Visionary Award at the annual Ivor Novellos in London, while she also received the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women In Music ceremony in March and the ASCAP Global Impact Award in May.
