MaXXXine is the third instalment in West's X film series and a direct sequel to X (2022). Written, directed, produced and edited by Ti West.
MaXXXine stars Mia Goth (reprising her role as Maxine Minx), alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon. What a line up! Halsey and Kevin, bloody Bacon!
In the third film, Maxine sets out for fame and success in 1980s Hollywood while being targeted by a mysterious killer. MaXXXine is a departure from the Pearl origin story, which was the second film in the series. With Pearl, whose fervent aspiration to become a movie star led to her committing violent acts on her family's Texas homestead in 1918. It all links back to Hollywood really. It is a love letter to becoming an actor at whatever the cost. Whatever the violent acts required. And MaXXXine has some very violent acts.
