She’s got big dreams and bigger hair. A24 has just released its first image from their upcoming filmMaXXXine, the follow-up to the 2022 slasherXand its prequel,Pearl. The new image shows final girl Maxine, played by certified scream queenMia Goth, walking the streets of Hollywood with another woman, played by pop starHalsey.
The two women are dressed provocatively, perfectly in line with the excess and grime of 1980s Los Angeles. Maxine wears a sports coat with her name stitched on the chest, a short sequined dress, and fishnet tights. Her hair is bleach blonde, setting off her intense smoky eye makeup. She carries a duffle bag, perhaps indicating the transient nature of her life thus far. Halsey, by contrast, wears a cream-colored fur coat and carries a bright red purse. She, like Maxine, is wearing a provocative dress, matched with thigh highs and a garter belt, but her look is more of 1980s androgynous glamour — thinkPatrick Nagel’s artwork, women with blush cut cheekbones and intense stares.
What’s Next for the Ti West Trilogy?
No exact plot details have yet been released forMaXXXine, however, it will serve as a continuation ofTi West’s 2022 filmX.
