Charli XCX is set to star in and produce the movie “The Moment,” based on her original idea.
The “Brat” pop star will produce the movie as the first project under her new production company, Studio365. Plot details are kept under wraps.
“The Moment” is the feature directorial debut of Scottish photographer and filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, who wrote the screenplay with Bertie Brandes.
The pop star's longtime collaborator A. G. Cook, a producer whose fingerprints are all over “Brat,” will compose the score.
David Hinojosa is also producing “The Moment” via his production banner 2AM.
Brandon Creed, Mikey Schwartz-Wright and Zach Nutman will serve as executive producers. A24 is handling the global release of the movie.
The announcement comes just hours after Charli led the Brit Awards nominations with five nods, for artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year, and dance and pop act.
It’s also the latest film project in a string of Hollywood moves from the pop star.
She stars in Daniel Goldhaber’s “Faces of Death” remake, Romain Gavras’ adventure comedy “Sacrifice” and Pete Ohs’ “Erupcja.”
The musician is also attached to star in Julia Jackman’s “100 Nights of Hero” alongside Nicholas Galitzine, Emma Corin and Maika Monroe, as well as has a guest role in Benito Skinner’s comedy series “Overcompensating.”
Charli will also be seen in Cathy Yan’s “The Gallerist” led by Jenna Ortega, Natalie Portman and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The pop star recently showed off her acting skills on “Saturday Night Live,” where she pulled double duty as both host and musical guest.
She recently opened up with Variety in December about her pivot toward a new type of performing.
“I hate it when musicians dive into a different field, head-first, without really researching or learning much of anything about it,” Charli said. “So I did a lot of reading to educate myself over the past three or four years before I actually did anything.”
