Mikey Madison in Talks to Lead A24’s ‘Masque of the Red Death’
Mikey Madison is in talks to lead A24 and Picturestart's "The Masque of the Red Death," Charlie Polinger’s take on the Edgar Allen Poe story.
Mikey Madison has landed another buzzy project after nabbing the Oscar for her performance in “Anora.” The actor is in talks to lead A24 and Picturestart’s “The Masque of the Red Death,” writer/director Charlie Polinger’s wildly revisionist take on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. Prior to landing the title role in Sean Baker’s “Anora” (which also earned her a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award), Madison starred in “Scream 5” and appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” She was also part of the ensemble on FX’s “Better Things.” Madison has been in high demand after her Oscar win, and turned down a role in the new and untitled “ Star Wars ” movie directed by “Deadpool & Wolverine” filmmaker Shawn Levy.
