While we continue waiting to see Charli XCX in her feature debut Faces of Death, a fresh new take on the cult movie from Cam filmmakers Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber, Variety reports that the singer will be both producing and starring in the new movie from Japanese master of horror Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition, and the list goes on and on and on).
The catch? Well, we don’t know at this time if the project is a horror movie or not. Miike is known for directing films in all kinds of different genres, so it’s certainly not a sure thing that this is a horror project. But as Variety notes in this afternoon’s report, “Though plot details are being kept under wraps, Miike is known for his depictions of extreme violence.”
Charli XCX will produce the mysterious Takashi Miike film through her banner Studio365. Ross Evans (How to Save a Marriage) is writing the screenplay for the untitled movie.
Takashi Miike is one of the busiest and most prolific filmmakers in the game, with over 100 directorial credits on his IMDb resume. In addition to the aforementioned Ichi the Killer and Audition, Miike’s films include Dead or Alive, Visitor Q, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Gozu, One Missed Call, Three Extremes, 13 Assassins, First Love, and Lumberjack the Monster.
Miike also directed an episode of Showtime’s horror anthology series “Masters of Horror” that pushed the boundaries so far it was infamously not even aired by Showtime at the time.
