Mikey Madison Replaces Sydney Sweeney For A24 Movie
According to The Masque of the Red Death for A24. The project is set to be directed by Charlie Polinger, whose debut feature, The Plague, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
The movie will follow a long-lost twin, now played by Madison, who enters a castle ruled by a mad prince while a plague devastates the peasantry, which in turn opens up a decadent world of orgies, opium, power schemes, revenge, and decapitations for the aforementioned twin.
Sweeney was previously attached to the movie, but has unfortunately dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Madison, who is now in talks to take over the lead role, will play twin sisters in the movie. The Masque of the Red Death is expected to begin production in either late 2025/early 2026.
Mikey Madison is best known for starring as the title role in Sean Baker’s Best Picture-winning Anora, where she also won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She also previously starred in projects such as FX’s Better Things, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and 2022’s Scream.
A release date for The Masque of the Red Death has not yet been announced.
