The upcoming remake of the cult film Faces of Death casts a major pop star in her first live-action role opposite Stranger Things' Dacre Montgomery.
The Faces of Death remake has now added a major pop star to its cast. The film, which is being co-written and co-directed by Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber, is a remake of the notorious 1978 film of the same name, which purported to present a collection of real-life snuff films, though quite a few of them were later revealed to be staged. The film's cast already includes Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery and Euphoria's Barbie Ferreira.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per TheWrap, the Faces of Death remake has just brought on pop star Charli XCX to play an unspecified role. Although she has been a fixture of the film industry, especially with her single "Boom Clap," which was part of the The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack, this will be her first live-action feature. She previously provided voices for the animated films The Angry Birds Movie and UglyDolls.
Horror Has Long Been a Haven For Musicians Turned Actors It might seem surprising that a pop star has agreed to be in the Faces of Death franchise, which comes with a lot of controversial baggage. However, Charli XCX has already proven her willingness to push the envelope, incorporating horror or gore themes into quite a few of her videos and photoshoots. On top of that, the horror genre is one that has a long history of offering recording artists their first shot at acting.
Horror and pop music might not seem like the perfect pair, but both disparate genres tend to have a habit of capitalizing on modern trends. Many horror films, especially sequels that are attempting to capture the attention of teen audiences, cast of-the-moment artists to give their project an even broader appeal. This trend has recently even begun to spread into the world of TikTok influencers, as Addison Rae was recently cast in the upcoming Eli Roth slasher Thanksgiving.
Faces of Death has now joined a long line of horror films giving music icons an early role. While this practice peaked in the 1990s and 2000s with appearances like LL Cool J in Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Ice-T in Leprechaun in the Hood, it has been going on for considerably longer than that. Charli XCX is now joining the horror movie pantheon that already includes such iconic musicians as Sting , Debbie Harry , and David Bowie .
