Mikey Madison has secured another high-profile role following her Oscar win in “Anora.” The actress is currently negotiating to star in “The Masque of the Red Death,” a film co-produced by A24 and Picturestart, which is directed by Charlie Polinger and offers an unprecedented twist on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name.
Madison steps into the role previously held by Sydney Sweeney, as it’s reported that she had to withdraw because of scheduling issues. Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are set to serve as executive producers. The film distribution rights have been obtained by A24 on a global scale.
I’m thrilled to share that I’m immersed in the post-production phase of my movie titled “The Plague.” This indie production boasts the talented Joel Edgerton as its lead actor. I’m fortunate to be backed by UTA and Anonymous Content in this venture.
As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be gracing the screens in the upcoming movie “Reptilia,” starring alongside the talented Kirsten Dunst. This chilling thriller weaves an engrossing tale about a dental hygienist who is ensnared by an enigmatic mermaid, leading her into the sinister depths of Florida’s exotic animal trade. The visionary behind the mind-bending hostage drama “Monos,” Alejandro Landes Echavarría, will helm this intriguing production.
Before securing the lead role in Sean Baker’s “Anora,” which won her both a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award, Madison had previously acted in “Scream 5” and featured in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” She was also part of the cast for FX’s series “Better Things.
Following her Oscar victory, Madison has been sought-after extensively, yet declined an offer to star in the upcoming, unnamed “Star Wars” production helmed by director Shawn Levy, who is famed for directing “Deadpool” and “Wolverine”.
Madison is represented by UTA and Authentic Talent & Literary Management.
The Hollywood Reporter was first to report Madison’s casting.
