‘Killing Faith’ – DeWanda Wise and Guy Pearce Starring in Demonic Possession Horror Movie
Film Bridge International is launching sales at the American Film Market on Killing Faith, a supernatural horror movie that has put together a pretty impressive cast.
Deadline reports that Guy Pearce (Prometheus) and DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion) are attached, with Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs) also in final negotiations.
Ned Crowley (Middle Man) wrote and will be directing Killing Faith.
Deadline previews, “Guy Pearce will play Dr. Bender, a faithless physician who agrees to escort an anguished mother (DeWanda Wise) on a journey across a treacherous desert.
“The mother is hopeful of finding a cure for her daughter’s mysterious illness: she is possessed by the devil. Tim Roth will play the role of Preacher Ross.”
Killing Faith has been able to secure a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, and Deadline additionally notes that “filming is due to begin in New Mexico in January, 2024.”

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