Charli XCX has offered fans a first tease from her forthcoming film project with A24, The Moment, sharing a clip that appears to open the movie. The teaser, posted on Instagram on August 16, overlays a stage photo from Charli’s Gwacheon-si, South Korea show with the words “Please don’t let it be over,” a line echoed in the caption.
The Moment is produced by A24 and stars Charli XCX alongside Rosanna Arquette, Alexander Skarsgård, and Jamie Demetriou, with a score by A.G. Cook. Charli is also a producer on the project through her Studio365 banner. The film centers on a fictional pop star preparing for her first headline arena tour, with Arquette playing a record-label executive and Skarsgård portraying a “fashionable European creative.”
In related news, Charli is reportedly producing and starring in a horror project directed by Takashi Miike, another Studio365-backed venture. The artist was also connected to a remake of the 1978 horror classic Faces of Death, with Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery among the cast.
What to watch for

– The high-profile cast (Arquette, Skarsgård) and a score by A.G. Cook signal a glossy, music-centered cinema experience with indie flair.
– The teased opening line hints at a meta, self-aware tone that could set the stage for the film’s narrative and soundtrack tie-in.

Summary and perspective

With a talented cast and a strong production team, The Moment has potential to attract fans from both the music and film communities, while Miike’s horror project and the Faces of Death remake add to Charli’s growing footprint in genre cinema.
