Adelaide Clemens Hops into Dark Thriller, ‘Rabbit’
Adelaide Clemens, whose credits include Silent Hill: Revelations, No One Lives and The Great Gatsby, has taken on the lead role in Luke Shanahan’s dark thriller Rabbit, which starts shooting today, ScreenDaily reports. Clemens replaces the previously reported Abbey Lee in the role, which is pretty disappointing to say the least.
Clemens stars as Maude Ashton, a young medical student haunted by visions of her twin sister’s abduction, who discovers a secret society that might be connected to her missing sister.
In Rabbit, she reunites with her Wasted On The Young co-star Alex Russell, who has recently shot Sony’s Granite Mountain, Greg McLean’s Jungle and TIFF selection Goldstone. The cast also includes Belgian actress Veerle Baetens, best known for Oscar-nominated Broken Circle Breakdown.
Shanahan will shoot for five weeks on locations in and around Adelaide, Australia. David Ngo produces the co-production between A Longshot Film and Projector Films. LevelK handles international sales on Shanahan’s feature debut.
Rabbit had been the winning pitch at the 2015 Melbourne International Film Festival’s 37º South Market and was later presented at London’s Production Finance Market.
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.
