Kiernan Shipka and Kid Cudi Become Vampires on Official Poster for Ti West’s ‘Neverland’
Ti West (X, Pearl, Maxxxine) sat in the director’s chair for Kid Cudi’s upcoming vampire-themed music video Neverland, and the musician has released the official poster today.
Produced by Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions and directed by Ti West, Neverland will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 7, with tickets available now.
Being described as a short film, the eleven-minute video follows “a 200 year old vampire who takes his newly initiated love on her first feed.” Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) stars alongside Kiernan Shipka (Longlegs, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Brittany Snow (X), Haley Joel Osment (Blink Twice, Tusk), Cary Elwes (Saw), and Brandon Scott (Descendent).
Kid Cudi teases, “This was a huge passion project, its different and something you haven’t seen before.”
Check out the poster below and listen to Neverland while you wait for the video.
Kid Cudi, who starred in Ti West’s slasher movie X, also recently announced that he’ll be directing a horror-romance feature film titled When the Light Dies. “I’ve been wanting to direct movies ever since I was a kid, and I’m finally stepping into this new chapter,” he says.
Kid Cudi played the ill-fated Jackson Hole in Ti West’s trilogy-starter X (2022), a Marine Corps veteran who ends up one of the many victims of elderly murderers Pearl and Howard.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
