Ti West’s ‘X’ Returning to Theaters Tonight with ‘MaXXXine’ Sneak Peek!
While we wait for MaXXXine, the final film in director Ti West’s trilogy that kicked off with X and continued with Pearl, the 1970s-set slasher movie X is back in theaters TONIGHT!
A24 brings X back to theaters for one-night-only on Tuesday, June 18, with a post-credits sneak peek at MaXXXine. Screenings begin at 7pm local time. Grab your tickets now.
From A24 and director Ti West (The Innkeepers, The Sacrament), 2022’s X stars Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Suspiria, Emma), Brittany Snow (Prom Night, Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2), Jenna Ortega (“You,” 2022’s Scream, The Babysitter: Killer Queen), and Grammy Award® nominee Scott Mescudi (better known as Kid Cudi, Don’t Look Up).
In the 1979-set movie, “A group of actors set out to make an adult film in rural Texas under the noses of their reclusive hosts — an elderly couple with a farm and boarding house for rent. But when the couple catches their young guests in the act, the cast finds themselves in a desperate fight for their lives in this tantalizing slasher from writer-director Ti West.”
The same year’s Pearl, also directed by West and starring Goth, told the origin story of X‘s slasher villain Pearl, while MaXXXine will be a direct sequel to Maxine’s story from X.
A24 previews the final installment, “MaXXXine reverses the franchise’s trajectory through time to pick up with Maxine after the violent events of X, as the sole survivor continues her journey towards fame, setting out to make it as an actress in 1980s Los Angeles.”
MaXXXine will release only in theaters on July 5, 2024.
The second half of the year is loaded with hotly anticipated horrors including Alien: Romulus, director Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) sequel to the original horror classic that takes place between the events of Alien and Aliens. The film is set on the Renaissance research station, and Total Film has shared three brand new images of the human crew this week.
Meet the crew by checking out Total Film’s exclusive images below.
Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters on August 16.
In Romulus, “While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
Alien: Romulus is based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.
