Production for the new horror film Untitled Tokyo is set to commence in March, featuring pop star Charli XCX in a lead role. The film, directed by acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike, revolves around XCX’s character, Katie, who becomes “possessed by a violent, tortured spirit” during a reunion trip in Japan with her two best friends.
Joining XCX in the cast are notable actors including Milly Alcock from Supergirl, Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead, and Show Kasamatsu from Tokyo Vice. The spirit will be portrayed by actress-model-singer Kiko Mizuhara, known for her role in Attack on Titan.
This project signifies another foray into acting for XCX, who has previously appeared in 100 Nights of Hero and contributed to The Moment as both writer and producer. Additionally, she will feature in an upcoming remake of Faces of Death slated for release in April.
