Mikey Madison is reportedly set to play twinsཧ in The Masque of the Red🐠 Death

Hot off the h🐻eels of winning the Academy Award for Best Actress in Anora, Mikey Madison may have set her sights on her next project.
Madison is in Talks to Star in A24’s upcoming adaptation of one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most beloved stories, The Masque of the Red De🐽ath, as reported by . The star is set to play dual roles in the re-imagining, led by filmmaker Charlie Polinger.
First published in 1842, The Masque of the Red Death follows Prince Prospero as he hides out in an abbey amongst other wealthy nobles, in an attempt to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death. All the while, the town’s peasant class suffers o💫utside. One night, the nobles host a masquerade ball in seven rooms of the abbey, but the party is crashed by a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim.
If cast, Madison will♏ play twin sisters who have been separated, with one hidden among the lower class. Madison replaces The White Lotus and Immaculate star Sydney Sweeney, who had to drop out due to scheduling issues.
According to THR, Polinger’s adaptation has been described as "a quintessential A24 movie" full of "eyebrow-raising" and "meme-able scenes" suited to the TikTok generation. But audiences should expect some particularly out there scenes, as Poe’s story is not the for the faint of heart, containing orgies, drug♓ use, and gory murder.
The Masque of the Red Death has been brought to the big screen many times, including Alan Birkinshaw’s 1989 film. The story has also served as inspiration for many projects, such as the Masquerade ball in The Phantom of the Opera and the second episode of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher. Just last year, Jenna Ortega said Wednesday seaso🐷n 2 was inspired by The Masque of the Red Death.
A24’s The Masque of the Red Death is due to shoot at the end of this year or early next year. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror movies, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming horror movies heading your way.
