Not long ago, The Grey director Joe Carnahan had been attached to adapt the graphic novel Undying Love, but those plans fell through and Deadline now reports today that David Leitch (John Wick, Deadpool 2) has taken over the project. Leitch will direct a script penned by Tommy Wirkola (Dead SnowHansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) for Studio 8!

“Set in modern day Hong Kong, Undying Love is full part Chinese folklore meets brilliantly reinvented Vampire lore. An action adventure story set for the ages.”

The limited comic series was created by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman. The first issue was published in 2011 by Image Comics, and it was followed by just three more.

Alexandre Aja (High Tension) had also been attached to direct at one point.

Kelly McCormick and Stephen L’Heureux produce, with Jeff Robinov exec producing.

‘MaXXXine’ – Mia Goth Takes Hollywood in New Image from Ti West’s Sequel

Published

on

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
