Ti West and Mia Goth's MAXXXINE Adds Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, Michelle Monaghan, Giancarlo Esposito, Halsey, and More
Director Ti West has put together an impressive all-star cast for the third film of his X horror film trilogy, MaXXXine. Franchise star Mia Goth will be joined by Lily Collins (Emily in Paris), Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill), Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Michelle Monaghan (Nanny), Moses Sumney (The Idol), Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher), Halsey (Americana), and Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul).
Following the events of X and Pearl, MaXXXine is set in 1980s Los Angeles, and it follows the sole survivor from X as she continues her journey towards fame.
When previously talking about the project, Goth hyped it up, saying: “It’s my favorite script of the three. Everything’s bigger. The world is bigger, the stakes are bigger. It’s going to provide the greatest cinematic experience of the three of them.”
West added: “If X is a movie where they’re trying to make independent porn, and if Pearl is about her wanting to be part of ‘the movie business’, as difficult as that may be, then MaXXXine is certainly a different perspective on it. The world of straight-to-video plays a role.”
There are no other details regarding the story, but the first two films were entertaining and crazy horror movies. Mia Goth also gave an incredible performance in Pearl. It’ll be interesting to see what this third movie turns out to be. It’s certainly got a great cast!
