- Charli XCX will cameo in Martin Scorsese’s new horror film What Happens at Night, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, according to Variety.
- Martin Scorsese is directing the gothic horror film What Happens at Night, based on Peter Cameron’s novel, set in a remote European town and centered on an American couple seeking to adopt a child.
- Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence star as the lead couple in the film, with additional cast members including Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson, and Jared Harris.
- Charli XCX previously collaborated with Scorsese on the cover art for her Music, Fashion, Film album, where he appeared in a staged kitchen photo with John Cale and Marc Jacobs.
- Charli XCX has appeared in several films recently, including Erupjca, The Gallerist, and a Takashi Miike-directed project, and is currently on her U.S. tour supporting the album.
Why it matters: Charli XCX’s casting expands her transition from music to film, aligning her with a high-profile director and A-list cast, which may elevate her visibility in Hollywood while Scorsese’s pivot to horror with a literary source signals a notable shift in genre for the veteran filmmaker.
