Charli XCX and Martin Scorsese’s collaboration extends beyond the cover art for her new album “Music, Fashion, Film.”
Sources say Variety that the pop star will make an appearance in the Oscar-winning director’s upcoming film “What Happens at Night” alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. Described as a gothic psychological horror film, the Apple and StudioCanal production follows an American married couple who travel to a small European town to adopt a baby – but as they struggle to claim their child, the less they seem to know about themselves.
Charli’s role in the film is being kept secret. She joins a cast that also includes Mads Mikkelsen, Patricia Clarkson and Jared Harris.
Representatives for Charli, Apple and StudioCanal did not immediately respond Varietyrequest for comment.
The “Brat” singer has been making a name for herself in the acting world as of late, appearing in seven films over the past two years. That includes “The Moment,” a mockumentary directed by her frequent collaborator Aidan Zamiri, which cheekily satirizes the commercial success she achieved with “Brat.” Cinema even inspired his latest album, “Music, Fashion, Film,” which features John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Scorsese on the cover to symbolize each art form. Charli is currently wrapping up her record-breaking US tour, with the leg’s final show in Las Vegas on Friday before heading to Europe in February.
“What Happens at Night” marks Scorsese’s follow-up to 2023’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which also starred DiCaprio and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including best picture. A release date has not yet been set.
