A24 are giving horror fans a chance to meet MaXXXine a few weeks early, bringing Ti West's trilogy-starting slasher X back to the big screen for a limited time with a sneak peek at the Mia Goth-starring finale.
The event is an exxxtra special one night only screening, on Tuesday, June 18, starting at 7pm local time – two weeks before the slasher's wide release on July 5.
Starring Goth, Brittany Snow, Jenna Ortega and Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi, X, which is set in 1979 follows:
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.
A prequel, Pearl, also directed by West and starring Goth, released in the same year, with Goth playing the younger version of the elderly character she played in X.
In MaXXXine, Goth plays adult film star Maxine Minx:
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.”
Needless to say, MaXXXine is one of the most anticipated horrors of the year, due in part to its stacked cast which includes Halsey, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon.
Head here to find out if the X/MaXXXine show is playing at a theater near you.
If it isn't, fear not – as MaXXXine hits theaters nationwide on July 5.
